Project Overview

The Crash Calculator is a sophisticated tool designed to calculate and analyze crash data metrics efficiently, providing critical insights essential for safety assessments and regulatory compliance. A key aspect of this project is the implementation of the A* algorithm with advanced heuristic functions, allowing it to address highly complex pathfinding challenges in crash scenarios.

Algorithm Complexity

The problem posed by crash data analysis is challenging due to:

  • High Dimensionality and Dynamic Conditions: Pathfinding must account for dynamic crash scenarios where multiple variables impact the optimal path, and environmental factors can change unexpectedly.
  • Need for Optimal Precision: The tool must identify the best path with high accuracy, essential for applications that prioritize safety and regulatory compliance.

Advanced Use of the A* Algorithm

The project leverages the A* algorithm with customized heuristic functions to handle these difficulties effectively:

  • Multiple Heuristic Functions: By adapting A* with various heuristic approaches, the tool can fine-tune its pathfinding based on scenario-specific criteria, enhancing accuracy and responsiveness.
  • Efficiency in Real-Time Processing: The advanced heuristics reduce computational overhead, enabling quick calculations even in complex crash scenarios.
