METHOD FOR DETERMINING PATH FOR TRANSPORTING WORKS

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for determining a path to transporting works which replaces unreasonable detour path with a shorter path, by reasoning rationality of a predetermined route from a starting point to an end point, through the consideration of a route network comprising a plurality of transporting routes and a dividing device to which the path is connected. SOLUTION: The method specifies a standard vector V0of the starting point to the end point as one of the end point included in the dividing device 23 stored in a candidate path, and retrieves a partially substituted route for transporting on the basis of the transport path 20, existing in the range of ±90° from the standard vector V0. The method compares a length (minimum order P) of the starting point to the end point of an original candidate with the length (re-retrieval order Q) of the partially substituted path. The method stores the route by generating the substituted transport path replacing the distance from the starting point to the end point of the original candidate, if the minimum order P is larger than the re-retrieval order Q.
