Linking Off-Road Points to Routing Networks

Abstract

Although graph theory has already been introduced in spatial reasoning, current spatial database systems do not provide out-of-the-box routing on geometric points that are not matched on the graph. Methods that connect new reference locations to the graph render different routing results. Moreover, current solutions break reasoning down to local analysis. We bridge the gap between routing networks and spatial geometry by a global matching of geometric points to routing networks.
