Automatic visualisation of metro maps

چکیده
We investigate the new problem of automatic metro map layout. In general, a metro map consists of a set of lines which have intersections or overlaps. We define a set of aesthetic criteria for good metro map layouts and present a method to produce such layouts automatically. Our method uses a variation of the spring algorithm with a suitable preprocessing step. The experimental results with real world data sets show that our method produces good metro map layouts quickly. r 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Component Selection for the Metro Visualisation of the Self-Organising Map
Self-Organising Maps have been used for a wide range of clustering applications. They are wellsuited for various visualisation techniques to offer better insight into the clusterings. A particularly feasible visualisation is the plotting of single components of a data set and their distribution across the SOM. One central problem of the visualisation of Component Planes is that a single plot is...
متن کاملDrawing Metro Maps Using Bézier Curves
The automatic layout of metro maps has been investigated quite intensely over the last few years. Previous work has focused on the octilinear drawing style where edges are drawn horizontally, vertically, or diagonally at 45◦. Inspired by manually created curvy metro maps, we advocate the use of the curvilinear drawing style; we draw edges as Bézier curves. Since we forbid metro lines to bend (e...
متن کاملConstrained Controller Design for Real-time Delay Recovery in Metro Systems
This study is concerned with the real-time delay recovery problem in metro loop lines. Metro is the backbone of public transportation system in large cities. A discrete event model for traffic system of metro loop lines is derived and presented. Two effective automatic controllers, linear quadratic regulator (LQR) and model predictive controller (MPC), are used to recover train delays. A newly-...
متن کاملA Survey on Automated Metro Map Layout Methods
We give a comprehensive overview of the state of the art in automated metro map layout. A large number of algorithms for computing metro maps have been developed over the last 10– 15 years by researchers in computer science and related fields. In this survey, we distinguish three subtasks of generating metro map layouts (schematic network layout, label placement, crossing minimization) and give...
متن کاملAutomatic Generation of Issue Maps: Structured, Interactive Outputs for Complex Information Needs
When information is abundant, it becomes increasingly difficult to fit nuggets of knowledge into a single coherent picture. Complex stories spaghetti into branches, side stories, and intertwining narratives; search engines, our most popular navigational tools, are limited in their capacity to explore such complex stories. We propose a methodology for creating structured summaries of information...
