finding the shortest paths between nodes in a graph, which may represent, for example, road networks.
Application 1.
It is most widely used in finding the
shortest possible distance and showing Dr. Michael J. Ryan, WHO Informal Advisory Group, March 2020
directions between 2 geographical
locations such as in Google Maps. 2. This is also widely used in the routing of data in networking and telecommunication domains for minimizing the delay occurred for transmission. 3. Wherever you encounter the need for shortest path solutions be it in robotics, transportation, embedded systems, factory or production plants to detect faults, etc this algorithm is used.
