Automatic Drawing of Complex Metro Maps
Summary :
The Tokyo subway is one of the most complex subway networks in the world and it is difficult to compute a visually readable metro map using existing layout methods. In this paper, we present a new method that can generate complex metro maps such as the Tokyo subway network. Our method consists of two phases. The first phase generates rough metro maps. It decomposes the metro networks into smaller subgraphs and partially generates rough metro maps. In the second phase, we use a local search technique to improve the aesthetic quality of the rough metro maps. The experimental results including the Tokyo metro map are shown.
