In road transport, transportation planners and traffic managers use traffic assignment models to assist them in their work. These computer models are time-consuming, mainly due to the part in which they calculate shortest paths. With the outlook to a need for even real-time solutions, this leads to the question, whether special purpose hardware can be used to reduce the computing times. The question was put forward by the Department of Transportation Planning and Highway Engineering at the Faculty of Civil Engineering at the Delft University of Technology. Eventually, the question has arrived at the Computational Physics group at the Faculty of Applied Physics, which is specialized in the design and construction of special purpose hardware for computationally intensive tasks (applied mainly in the field of particle physics). In a preliminary study, the feasibility was investigated of using special purpose hardware for shortest path finding.
