Abstract

We investigate optimization strategies for processing path queries with embedded spatial constraints, such as avoiding areas with certain characteristics. To resolve complex spatial constraints during path finding, we consider two decisions: (1) the spatial relation operations (e.g., intersect) between areas and links can be preprocessed or intermixed with path finding and (2) areas satisfying the query constraint can be prefiltered or dynamically selected during path finding. Based on these two decisions, we propose and implement the resulting four integrated query processing strategies, utilizing state-of-the-art technologies such as spatial joins for intersect computation, R-tree access structure for spatial overlap search, and spatial clustering for efficient path search. In this paper, we also report an experimental evaluation to show which strategies perform best in different scenarios.
