Bidirectional Dijkstra is a pathfinding algorithm that improves on the classic 1959 Dijkstra method by running two simultaneous searches, one forward from the start and one backward from the destination, meeting in the middle to find the shortest path. This approach cuts the search space roughly in half, making it significantly faster than the original algorithm, and has been used in routing systems since the 1970s.
