Verifying Geostatistical Travel Time Properties on Routing Networks

Abstract

Nowadays, many systems are increasingly relying on interconnected, geolocated, and mobile devices. In order to cope with this, geographical information system (GIS) have evolved to precisely capture not only the spatial characteristics of real world transportation networks but also temporal dimension, including the variability of travel duration related to traffic jams. This paper explores the verification of a number of interesting spatiotemporal properties identified from a set of real world cases and expressed on enriched GIS data structures. It details our progress on developing efficient algorithmic modules to verifying such properties. We have applied our algorithms on the medical emergency infrastructures deployed in Belgium.
