The method of finding the optimal route based on the analysis of data from modern map services

Abstract

The article presents a method of route optimization on resources which should be spent for route passage. The proposed algorithm is based on the idea that rise require more resources than the descent for passage. For flat locality, the result of the algorithm coincides with the result obtained from Google Maps. For hilly and mountainous terrain, the algorithm selects routes that are differ from Google Maps with a lower content of the number of lifts, which accordingly makes routes less energy consuming.
