Abstract: In this paper the graphic generalization of roads is transformed into linear graphic simplification based on mesh model when the navigation data precision is decreased. A progressive collaborative graphic generalization method for roads in the navigation data is proposed based on the mesh model, which can ensure that the single road and road networks after generalization are similar to the original high-precision data in spatial directional relationship. In the process of data handling, the navigational requirements are applied to constrain the progressive graphic simplification of the road. Besides, characteristics of road shape and the spatial direction relationship at the intersection of roads are maintained while visualizations of the roads in navigation is taken into consideration. The algorithm proposed in this paper has been verified with navigation data in actual production, which proves the method is both effective and practical.

Key words: navigation road network, progressive map generalization, linear graphic simplification, mesh model, spatial direction relationship
