Bidirectional A* vs A* vs Dijkstra's Algorithm: Tokyo's Cyber Labyrinth

Bidirectional A* vs A* vs Dijkstra's Algorithm: Tokyo's Urban Labyrinth Watch as three legendary pathfinding algorithms battle through Tokyo's mind-bending street network - the world's most complex urban maze. This cyberpunk-styled visualization transforms Tokyo's legendary complexity into a neon showdown between algorithmic approaches. Which will conquer the city's chaotic streets most efficiently? What's in this video: Live comparison of three pathfinding titans: Bidirectional A*, A*, and Dijkstra's algorithm through Tokyo's notoriously complex street system Cyberpunk-inspired visualization highlighting each algorithm's unique exploration pattern through the world's largest urban area Real-time display of computational efficiency differences between the three approaches The striking visual contrast between directed, heuristic-based search versus exhaustive exploration Tokyo's labyrinthine street network presents the ultimate algorithmic challenge. As the algorithms navigate from identical start and end points, you'll witness dramatic differences in their exploration patterns: 1. Bidirectional A* Two search frontiers expanding simultaneously from both source and target Dramatically fewer nodes explored as the two frontiers race to meet in the middle The fastest solution by far, showcasing the power of bidirectional search in complex environments 2. A* Directed expansion that favors nodes closer to the destination Great Circle distance heuristic guiding exploration toward the target Significantly more efficient than Dijkstra's but less efficient than its bidirectional variant 3. Dijkstra's Algorithm Uniform, circular expansion in all directions from the source No heuristic guidance, exploring based purely on accumulated distance Explores vastly more nodes than either A* variant, creating a mesmerizing but inefficient flood-fill pattern All three algorithms ultimately discover the same optimal path (highlighted in hot pink), but the computational cost varies dramatically. Dijkstra's algorithm's uniform expansion has a hidden advantage - it guarantees finding not just the shortest path to one destination but to all possible destinations within its exploration radius. This makes it valuable for applications like emergency response planning, where multiple potential targets exist. However, in Tokyo's ultra-dense network with over 37 million residents navigating countless narrow alleys, railway connections, and multi-level structures, the directed nature of A* and especially the dual-frontier approach of Bidirectional A* demonstrate clear superiority for single-destination pathfinding. The visualization reveals why Bidirectional A* excels in this environment - by approaching the problem from both ends, it drastically reduces the exploration space. This efficiency becomes critical in Tokyo's unique urban context, where: 1. The non-hierarchical street network defies conventional navigation logic 2. Multiple transportation layers (underground, ground level, and elevated) create a three-dimensional challenge 3. The sheer density of nodes creates computational challenges for any algorithm With neon blue streets against a dark background, this cyberpunk visualisation transforms Tokyo's complexity into a living algorithm demonstration, revealing the mathematical beauty hidden within the world's largest urban maze.
