Abstract

We investigate a data-driven approach for road network generalization, where the input is a road network and a collection of routes or trajectories on these roads. The aim is to select a subset of the road network in which many routes of the collection are fully preserved. We formulate the problem and present several heuristic versions of it, as the general problem is NP-hard. We show the outcome of the versions on a data set for comparison purposes.
