Network Navigation with Online Delays is PSPACE-complete

In public transport networks disruptions may occur and lead to travel delays. It is thus interest- ing to determine whether a traveler can be resilient to delays that occur unexpectedly, ensuring that they can reach their destination in time regardless. We model this as a game between the traveler and a delay-introducing adversary. We study the computational complexity of the problem of deciding whether the traveler has a winning strategy in this game. Our main result is that this problem is PSPACE-complete.

Abstract

In public transport networks disruptions may occur and lead to travel delays. It is thus interest- ing to determine whether a traveler can be resilient to delays that occur unexpectedly, ensuring that they can reach their destination in time regardless. We model this as a game between the traveler and a delay-introducing adversary. We study the computational complexity of the problem of deciding whether the traveler has a winning strategy in this game. Our main result is that this problem is PSPACE-complete.
