In this paper, the shortest path problem with forbidden paths is addressed. The problem under consideration
is formulated as a particular instance of the resource-constrained shortest path problem. Different versions
of a dynamic programming-based solution approach are defined and implemented. The proposed algo-
rithms can be viewed as an extension of the node selection approach proposed by Desrochers in 1988. An
extensive computational test is carried out on a meaningful number of random instances with the purpose
of assessing the behaviour of the developed solution approaches. A comparison with the state-of-the-art
method proposed to address the problem under study is also made. The computational results are very
encouraging and highlight that the proposed algorithms are very efficient
