Abstract
This paper compares the performances of three path algorithms, including the Bellman-Ford algorithm, A*, and Dijkstra’s algorithm. These algorithms have found the paths in a map of Riyad,h, and the run times were compared of these algorithms. The experimental findings revealed the effectiveness of A* A search algorithm, followed by Dijkstra algorithm and Bellman-Ford algorithm. This shows that Dijkstra’s algorithm can be extended into various fields to solve problems involving the computation of the shortest distance between various locations.

Keywords
