VERNE: A Spatial Data Structure Representing Railway Networks for Autonomous Robot Navigation

Efficient representation and querying of railway networks are crucial for autonomous railway systems and digital infrastructure management. This paper introduces VEctorial Railway NEtwork (VERNE) , an interpretable data structure and algorithm that integrates vector-based spatial partitioning with a...
