  • Publication number: 20140324327
    Abstract: Technology for generating geotemporal graphs is disclosed where geotemporal graphs provide representations of areas based on an expected travel time between points, instead of the geographical distance between points. Travel times may vary based on travel conditions, and geotemporal maps may be generated that show travel times that account for travel conditions. Generating geotemporal maps may include obtaining a graph, determining for several points a warp vector indicating graph how each point should be moved to represent a travel time to that point, and warping the graph according to the determined warp vectors.
