In this project, you will develop algorithms that find road routes through the bridges to travel between islands. The input is a text file containing data about the given map.  Each file begins with the number of rows and columns in the map considered as maximum latitudes and maximum longitudes respectively on the map. The character "X" in the file represents the water that means if a cell contains "X" then the traveler is not allowed to occupy that cell as this car is not drivable on water. The character "0" in the file represents the road connected island. That means if a cell contains "0" then the traveler is allowed to occupy that cell as this car can drive on roads.  The traveler starts at the island located at latitude = 0 and longitude = 0 (i.e., (0,0)) in the upper left corner, and the goal is to drive to the island located at (MaxLattitude-1, MaxLongitudes-1) in the lower right corner.  A legal move from an island is to move left, right, up, or down to an immediately adjacent cell that has road connectivity which means a cell that contains "0".  Moving off any edge of the map is not allowed. Input: The map files Output: Print paths as explicitly specified for all the functions in Part B, and extra credit on the console.  You should have single main function that calls all the required functions for Part B, and extra credit for all the 3 given input map files one by one.

Question

In this project, you will develop algorithms that find road routes through the bridges to travel between islands.

The input is a text file containing data about the given map.  Each file begins with the number of rows and columns in the map considered as maximum latitudes and maximum longitudes respectively on the map. The character "X" in the file represents the water that means if a cell contains "X" then the traveler is not allowed to occupy that cell as this car is not drivable on water. The character "0" in the file represents the road connected island. That means if a cell contains "0" then the traveler is allowed to occupy that cell as this car can drive on roads. 

The traveler starts at the island located at latitude = 0 and longitude = 0 (i.e., (0,0)) in the upper left corner, and the goal is to drive to the island located at (MaxLattitude-1, MaxLongitudes-1) in the lower right corner.  A legal move from an island is to move left, right, up, or down to an immediately adjacent cell that has road connectivity which means a cell that contains "0".  Moving off any edge of the map is not allowed.

Input: The map files

Output: Print paths as explicitly specified for all the functions in Part B, and extra credit on the console. 

You should have single main function that calls all the required functions for Part B, and extra credit for all the 3 given input map files one by one.

Please use the graph.h file provided in this module for this project rather than the standard library file downloaded online as it is specially modified to ease you work in this project. You do not have to use this file mandatory, but if you are struggling to even start the project then this should definitely make your life much easier.

Consider the following class map,

class map
{
public:
map(ifstream &fin);
void print(int,int,int,int);
bool isLegal(int i, int j);
void setMap(int i, int j, int n);
int getMap(int i, int j) const;
int getReverseMapI(int n) const;
int getReverseMapJ(int n) const;
void mapToGraph(graph &g);
bool findPathRecursive(graph &g, stack<int> &moves);
bool findPathNonRecursive1(graph &g, stack<int> &moves);
bool findPathNonRecursive2(graph &g, queue<int> &moves);
bool findShortestPath1(graph &g, stack<int> &bestMoves);
bool findShortestPath2(graph &, vector<int> &bestMoves);
void map::printPath(stack<int> &s);
int numRows(){return rows;};
int numCols(){return cols;};
private:
int rows; // number of latitudes/rows in the map
int cols; // number of longitudes/columns in the map
matrix<bool> value;
matrix<int> mapping; // Mapping from latitude and longitude co-ordinates (i,j) values to node index values
vector<int> reverseMapI; // Mapping from node index values to map latitude i value
vector<int> reverseMapJ; // Mapping from node index values to map longitude j value
};

The map input files named map1.txt, map2.txt, and map3.txt can be downloaded from the canvas. Example of a map input file:

7
10
Start - 0XXXXXXXXX
           00000000XX
           0X0X0X0XXX
           0X0X0X0000
           XX0XXX0XXX
           X0000000XX
           XXXXXXX000Z - Destination

 

Part B

The shortest path on a map is a path from the start to the destination with the smallest number of intermediate islands, that is the path with the least number of intermediate "0".

1. Write two functions findShortestPath1(graph &g, stack<int> &bestMoves) and findShortestPath2(graph &g, stack<int> &bestMoves) that each finds the shortest path on a map if a path from the start to the destination exists. The first algorithm should use Dijkstra algorithm and the second algorithm should use Bellman-Ford algorithm to find the shortest paths. In each case, if a solution exists the solver should call the map::printPath() function that should print a sequence of correct moves (Go left, Go right, Go down, Go up, etc.).  If no path from the start to the destination exists, the program should print, "No path exists". If a solution exists the solver should also simulate the solution to each map by calling the map::print() function. The map::print() function prints out a map visualization, with the goal and current position of the car in the map at each move, marked to show the progress. Each function should return true if any paths are found, and false otherwise.

Note: The use of the additional functions of class map is optional but highly recommended.

Extra Credit

1. Optimize Bellman-Ford algorithm to reduce the number of iterations and compare the runtime of the unmodified and modified algorithm for three given input maps. Your optimized Bellman-Ford algorithm should call map::print() function. It should also print the runtime of the unoptimized and optimized versions.
