Distance Indexing on Road Networks

Summary: Introduces a distance signature index for road networks to speed long-distance distance computations in SNDBs, where online Dijkstra is costly. Distances to network nodes are discretized into categories with optimal partitioning, encoding, and compression, enabling robust, scalable distance queries. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
