Hierarchical lane‐oriented 3D road‐network model

Abstract

The existing road-network models based on the 2D link-node of roadway centrelines have inhibited lane-oriented network flow analysis and multidimensional inventory management in complicated 3D urban environments. This paper proposes a hierarchical lane-oriented 3D road-network model (HL-3DRNM), with a unified modelling language (UML) diagram. HL-3DRNM is a non-planar topological model with the support of a 3D lane ribbon cartographic display, which is characterized by: (1) multiple topological and cartographic representations and various abstraction levels (street, road segment, carriageway and lane); and (2) referenced multi-dimensional road information (point, line, area and volume) at lane level. HL-3DRNM provides solid mathematical foundations for a more detailed inventory management, effective network analysis and realistic navigation in the increasingly complicated 3D urban transportation systems.

Traveling in the three-dimensional city: applications in route planning, accessibility assessment, location analysis and beyond

“…The deficiencies of the conventional node-arc network data model have been addressed in multiple ways (Thill, 2000;Miller and Shaw, 2001), particularly with regard to the representation of multimodal networks (e.g., Miller et al, 1995;Choi and Jang, 2000;Curtin et al, 2003). The non-planarity of street networks has been accommodated in various ways by extending the 2D node-arc representation to 2.5D and 3D (e.g., Fohl et al, 1996;Li and Lin, 2006;Zhu and Li, 2008). 3D geospatial models have been proposed for indoor spaces as well over the past decade.…”

Semantics‐based 3D dynamic hierarchical house property model

“…The development of 3D building model in GIS area is largely influenced by the '3D FDS' model, which combines the basic geometry and topology of 3D geo-data and allows one to keep track of multiple topological properties (Molenaar 1990;1998). Subsequently, in the field of CAD and urban GIS, the representation of geometry and topology of 3D objects has been extensively studied and developed in the models of 'SSM' (Zlatanova 2000, Zlatanova et al 2004, 'multi-topology' (van Oosterom et al 2002), 'OO3D' (Shi et al 2003), 'TEN' (Pilouk 1996, Penninga andvan Oosterom 2008) and 'HL-3DRNM' (ZHU and LI 2008). These models focus on issues such as space partitioning, supported objects and primitives and modeling rules, and also on some thematic and semantic constraints, for example, 'TEN' was built for geological applications, 'SSM' was applied in web diffusion and 'HL-3DRNM' was focused on road network, but they are not specifically for registering 3D house property rights.…”

An approach for automatic updating of GIS road segments for a pavement management system (PMS)

“…In order to improve the flexibility of such Arcnode representation in GIS-T, dynamic segmentation (DS) was proposed. Early research in GIS in transportation by Dueker (1987), Fletcher (1987) and Vonderohe et al (1993) identified the critical need for this capability in GIS-T. Due to its core role in the field of GIS-T, research into DS has gained much attention from both transportation and GIS experts (Nyerges 1990;Goodchild 2000;Miller & Shaw 2001;Huang 2003;Zhou & Zhang 2004;Yuan 2008;Zhu & Li 2008). It has been considered as an efficient means to provide more precise and flexible road management.…”
