Abstract

We address proximity problems in the presence of roads on the L1 plane. More specifically, we present the first optimal algorithm for constructing the city Voronoi diagram. We apply the continuous Dijkstra paradigm to obtain an optimal algorithm for building a shortest path map for a given source, and then it extends to that for the city Voronoi diagram. Moreover, the algorithm applies to other generalized situations including metric spaces induced by roads and obstacles together.
