Ukubetha indlela evulekileyo kunye nokuqhuba ukutshona kwelanga yinto yothando, kodwa uninzi lwethu ludinga ukucwangciswa kancinci ngaphambi kohambo lwendlela.

Uya eNyakatho? Uya emzantsi? Ngaba uthatha iveki? Ngaba uthatha inyanga? Zeziphi iindawo zokumisa ezifanele ukwenziwa? Kwaye kukho imibuzo engaphezulu kwesigidi ekufuneka ibuzwe.

URandy Olson, umphandi ogqwesileyo kwezobugcisa kwiYunivesithi yasePennsylvania, wenza imephu ngendlela egqibeleleyo nesebenzayo yokujonga iUnited States. Uye wayila eyakhe Uhambo lwendlela enqamlezayo , Ukudibanisa iialgorithms kunye neMephu zikaGoogle, ukuze akwazi ukutyelela izakhiwo ezingama-48.

Yale Uhambo lwendlela , kukho injongo enye: ukuthatha umfanekiso kwii-capitols ezininzi zase-U.S., u-Olson wabhala ngebhlog yakhe. Siza kuhamba kuphela ngemoto, ukuze ilawule iAlaska (ikude kakhulu) neHawaii (ifuna inqwelomoya) kwaye isishiye ne-48 ezibandakanya amazwe (ngaphandle kweDC).

Nanini na apho kufanelekileyo, siya kuziphepha iindlela ezifuna ukuba sihambe kumazwe angaphandle, kuba ukungena / ukushiya ilizwe kufuna ipasipoti kunye nolawulo lwemida luyehlisa izinto.

Ukuqala, wafumana umgama oyinyani phakathi kwazo zonke ii-capitol ngemoto, kunye nendlela emfutshane ehamba phakathi kwe-capitol nganye, eba ziikhombandlela ezingama-2,256. Wenza izibalo ezininzi- Ungayifunda apha - phambi kokugqiba uhambo lwakhe lokugqibela.

Ialgorithm yafikelela kwisisombululo esenziwe kakuhle esenza uhambo olupheleleyo lwazo zonke iitapital zase-US kwii-13,310 zeekhilomitha (21,420 km) zokuqhuba, wabhala. Oku kuphume kwatyelela la mazwe angama-48 e-US capitols kwiintsuku eziyi-8.5.

Elona candelo lililo kukuba olu hambo lwendlela luyilelwe ukuze ukwazi ukuqala naphi na kwindlela, utshilo. Ngethuba nje ulandela indlela ukusuka naphi na apho uqala khona, uya kubetha yonke i-capitol yelizwe kwii-48 zase-U.S.
