Generation of schematic network maps with automated detection and enlargement of congested areas

Nowadays, the design of the London Tube map (as a kind of schematic map) has been popularly adopted for transport network maps worldwide because of its great clarity of representation. In such types of map, the shape of the network is simplified and the topology between lines is preserved while the congested areas are enlarged to a desirable scale. Efforts have also been made to automate the production of such maps. However, to our best knowledge, no existing methods have explicitly taken into consideration the automated enlargement of congested areas. As such an enlargement is vital to the improvement of clarity, this paper proposes a new automated method to generate schematic network maps, consisting of (a) automated detection of congested areas, (b) automated enlargement of congested areas to a desirable scale and (c) automated generation of the schematic representation of the deformed network maps using a stroke-based approach. The new method has been tested with two real-life network data sets, i.e. the London Tube and Hong Kong metro data sets, and evaluated by fractal analysis and experimental studies. The results of the evaluation indicate that the new method is able to automatically generate the schematic maps with improved clarity and aesthetics.     

General Principles for Automated Generation of Schematic Network Maps

Usually, a street map contains various types of detailed information and appears to be crowded. As a result, to many users, a street map looks complicated and is not easy to read and follow. In fact, to a certain degree, too much detail makes the map uninformative and noisy. The London tube map, called a schematic or topological map in some literature, has often been cited as an excellent example of a simplified map. Algorithms have been developed by researchers to automate the generation of schematic maps for road networks. However, it is found that there is still a lack of defined general principles and here four general principles have been formulated for schematisation – the Principle of the Preservation of the Topological Relationship; the Principle of the Preservation of the Main Structure of the Line Network; the Principle of Relativity in Position; and the Principle of Relativity in Length. The first two are the principles of preservation: these two should never be violated. The last two are principles of relativity: it is very desirable to keep these two intact unless there is an absolute need to violate them.     

ESTABLISHING TEMPORALLY AND SPATIALLY VARIABLE SOIL HYDRAULIC DATA FOR USE IN A RUNOFF SIMULATION IN A LOESS REGION OF THE NETHERLANDS

Soil hydraulic functions for runoff simulation were collected in three catchments in a loess region of The Netherlands. To obtain these functions each soil horizon was sampled and water retention and hydraulic conductivity characteristics were determined. A simulation with the computer program SWMS_2D was used to quantify runoff generation during standard rain events. Based on the simulation outcome, soil horizons were merged. This resulted in a database of 25 soil hydraulic functions, each representing a soil horizon or a specific condition of the top layer. Maps showing the soil physical composition of the area were constructed using these soil physical building blocks. The maps can be used as input for soil and water erosion models to be applied on the catchment scale. Comparison of potential runoff figures with measured data showed that the soil physical schematization appeared to be appropriate. The soil physical schem-atization in the areas studied was based on structural rather than on textural differences of the top soil.     

徒骇河感潮河段冲淤变化的数值模拟

研究天然河流,特别是感潮河口段河流的泥沙冲淤问题时,由于其复杂性和多变性,使得数学模型成为一种重要研究手段。本文采用天然冲积河道中缓变非恒定一维水流泥沙方程组建立了研究徒骇河感潮河段泥沙冲淤变化的数学模型。数值模拟时对河道进行了梯形断面概化。通过过河道子测站的实测资料对数值计算结果进行验证,二者吻合较好,在此基础上对徒骇河上游坝上处建闸后该河段在各级径流量影响下的冲淤变化趋势作出了模拟。
