Distance Indexing on Road Networks
Summary: Introduces distance signatures, a compressed index that discretizes object–node distances to accelerate long-range network-distance computation and kNN queries beyond online Dijkstra. Derives optimal partitions and encodings, with robust performance across workloads, distributions, and network updates. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
