Generalization of road network for an embedded car navigation system

Automatic map generalization serves to reduce the amount of data to speed up the mapping process or to ensure the legibility of small scale maps. This thesis deals with the task of automatic selection of road networks for the application of visualization and route planning in an embedded car navigation system. Based on an intensive analysis of the embedded system in terms of storage capacity, the display screen and the necessary computing power in real time, two special constraints - connectivity and network density – are introduced. A concept for the semantic-driven path selection for the map display and the optimal route planning is developed and implemented with test data from Germany and China.
