Definition
A road network data model is a notation that enables the modeling of pertinent aspects of a road-network infrastructure. Using such a notation, a schema of a road-network infrastructure may be designed. This schema may in turn be populated by data, yielding an instance that captures aspects of a specific road network.
Depending of the use context, different aspects of a road-network infrastructure are of interest. A road network data model may consist of several interrelated sub-models, each of which targets the capture of different, specific aspects of a road network. Important examples of such sub-models include the geographical and graph representations and linear referencing.
Geographical representations capture the embedding of a road network into geographical space. Specifically, a road is typically represented by a collection of polylines,...
