Abstract
The advancement in path planning technologies in order to provide an optimal path has put human efforts in navigation at rest. Due to rapid economical growth and changing working conditions, the time on people’s hand has reduced immensely. Thus for a newbie in a city or person going outside the city by road, wasting time in prior path planning is futile. There has been many researches in the past and are still going on intensively in the field of optimized energy efficient path planning for various purposes like vehicle routing, disaster management, routing of autonomous vehicles, robot movement in games and otherwise, UAV movement etc. All these researches show various algorithms and techniques for an efficient path planning. The purpose of this paper is to highlight those techniques, the comparison among them and their involvement in path planning and optimization. It also represents a summation of all the past researches in this field. Furthermore a brief overview of the future work that could be done for path optimization in path planning is presented.
