Abstract

This paper centers on a search method of continuous near est targets for a specific route on a large road network. There are two issues in such a search: 1)the proposition that a road network is large implies that the whole network cannot be stored in the main memory at once and an appro priate partition of this network is essential; and 2)the dis tance between source and target on a road network should be computed based on the cost of the trip from the source to the target, and should be a shortest path on road network. To resolve such issues, a hierarchical partition method of road network is proposed and a fast shortest path search which bases on this partitioned network is discussed in this paper.
