"Curviness as a Parameter for Route Determination";
Talk: GI_Forum, Salzburg; 2012-07-03 - 2012-07-06; in: "GI_Forum 2012: Geovisualization, Society and Learning", T. Jekel, A. Car, J. Strobl, G. Griesebner (ed.); Herbert Wichmann Verlag, (2012), ISBN: 978-3-87907-521-8; 355 - 364.



English abstract:
The determination of optimized routes requires the stipulation of costs for various road segments. These costs can then be used in, e.g., the Dijkstra algorithm to determine optimal routes. The functions for stipulating costs vary with the goal of the optimization. Typical goals are the determination of the shortest, fastest, or simplest route. The paper discusses a parameter that has not yet received much attention: curviness of the road. Special user groups like motobike riders or truck drivers have specific requirements. Motorbike riders try to avoid long, straight roads whereas truck drivers have to avoid sharp bends. Different approaches to model these goals and results for a specific route are presented in the paper.
