Abstract:
1. A method for routing in a network including a plurality of nodes and links between the nodes, the method comprising: setting a start node and a destination node; identifying at least one intermediate node between the start node and the destination node; calculating, for each of a plurality of modes of transportation, a departure probability characterizing a probability that the mode of transportation departs the at least one intermediate node after a given waiting time; calculating a user waiting time distribution for each of the plurality of modes of transportation that service the at least one intermediate node based on the departure probability; generating, by at least one processor of an information processing system, a list of alternative modes of transportation linking the at least one intermediate node to at least one subsequent node, the list comprising a subset of available modes of transportation servicing the at least one intermediate mode, the subset of available modes of transportation being selected for inclusion within the list based on the departure probability and the user waiting time distribution associated with each of the subset of available modes of transportation; and presenting the list to a user via an electronic display device.
