Abstract:
Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for fast path search using learning of a heuristic function according to the present invention. An apparatus for fast path search according to the present invention includes: an input unit to receive destination information from a user, and to receive a search request for a path to the received destination information; a location recognizing unit to obtain current location information of the user when the search request for the path is received; and a control unit to search a map for a path from a start node corresponding to the current location information to a destination node corresponding to the destination information using a heuristic evaluation function.
