A Method For Generating Schematic Maps Of Traffic Information For Mobile Phone

摘要

Increasing function of mobile phone, with availability of traffic information publishing, has created a demand for techniques and methodologies that assist in the automated generation of traffic maps specifically tailored to mobile phone. This paper concerns itself with the problem of automatic generation of schematic maps for traffic information. Schematic maps are effective tools for representation information about the physical environment; they depict specific information in an abstract way. In the context of mobile mapping, schematic maps are seen as being particularly useful means of displaying transportation networks. This paper presents a method that automates the production of schematic maps of traffic information. The method takes into account road type, interesting area of user, current location of user and topologic of the road network, et.al. An implementation of the method is also presented, together with experimental results.
