Abstract

Landmark-based routing and Hub Labeling (HL) are shortest path planning techniques, both of which rely on storing shortest path distances between selected pairs of nodes in a preprocessing phase to accelerate query answering. In Landmark-based routing, stored distances to landmark nodes are used to obtain distance lower bounds that guide A* search from node s to node t. With HL, tight upper bounds for shortest path distances between any s-t-pair can be interfered from their stored node labels, making HL an efficient distance oracle. However, for shortest path retrieval, the oracle has to be called once per edge in said path. Furthermore, HL often suffers from a large space consumption as many node pair distances have to be stored in the labels to allow for correct query answering. In this paper, we propose a novel technique, called Landmark Hub Labeling (LHL), which integrates the landmark concept into HL. We prove better worst-case path retrieval times for LHL in case it is path-consistent (a new labeling property we introduce). Moreover, we design efficient (approximation) algorithms that produce path-consistent LHL with small label size and provide parametrized upper bounds, depending on the highway dimension h or the geodesic transversal number gt of the graph. Finally, we show that the space consumption of LHL is smaller than that of (hierarchical) HL, both in theory and in experiments on real-world road networks.
