Data Science Asked on February 13, 2021
I am trying to implement the A* algorithm into a graph I have, but I’m not sure if I am doing it properly.
So basically I have some nodes and some edges. In my case the edges are a cost, e.g. dollars defined by the edge type and the actual distance of the edge. So depending on the edge type and the distance of the edge between two nodes, a weight of an edge might look something like this:
node1 to node2 -> 100km * 10$_per_km + edge_insertion_cost -> 1500$
So the price pr. km might vary, as well as the insertion cost of using a particular edge. So far so good.
My "problem" is which heuristics is the best in this case ? I mean, if I just use Euclidian distance I will just get some distance in km, which has nothing to do with cost, node insertion and so on. And since it’s a Euclidian distance, I can’t put a price pr. km on – unless I should just use some kind of average of all different km prices.
So yeah, basically, what would be the best option here ? In some way I feel that it should at least be the same unit as the edge weight.
