It is based on a black-box algorithm due to Roditty and Zwick [30] that solves at most 2k instances of the Second Shortest Simple Path (2-SSP) problem without specifying how this is done. We fill this gap using a novel approach: we turn the scalar 2-SSP into instances of the Biobjective Shortest Path problem. Our experiments on grid graphs and on road networks show that the new algorithm is very efficient in practice.}, language = {en} }
