Abstract

The most of existing algorithms for road network selection are proposed for the visualization purpose. Hence, the connectivity of road network for route planning has rarely been considered in the previous works. In this chapter, we propose a novel method of road selection, whereby decisive paths that distinguish the suboptimal route from the optimal one can be identified and added to the high-layer network which is formed mainly by the connectivity of the crucial cities. This benefits the improvement of vertical partitioning and finally the construction of a high-layer road network that allows the optimal route planning. A case study in Bavaria State, Germany, reveals the feasibility of the proposed approach.
