Abstract

In modern urban areas, we often find a transportation network that follows a superimposed pattern. In this paper, we propose a novel method to generate a virtual traffic network based on (1) image-derived templates, and (2) a rule-based generating system. Using 2D images as input maps, various road maps with different patterns could be produced. This traffic network generating model adjusts itself intelligently in order to avoid restricted geographical areas or urban developments. The generative model follows closely directions of elevation and connects road ends in ways that allow various types of breakpoints.
