Landscape Evaluation and Most Beautiful Route Planning from Big Website Date

Abstract:

This paper presents a roadside landscapes evaluation model (RLEM) based on big website data about web hotspots, such as web searching data, web checkin data and web voting data. Then, Road beauty degree(RBD) is calculated by the proposed RLEM and the roadside landscapes’ visual ranges along road. Finally, the most beautiful route planning algorithm is designed and realized based on road networks RBD. An experiment was applied in Wuhan (China), where twentyeight landscapes were measured by RLEM, and the road networks RBD were calculated. Comparing between the proposed model and the traditional shortest path model, the results show us that routes planned by the proposed method have higher RBD than the routes planned by the traditional shortest method.
