公交线路图是一种旨在传达必要信息的图表，以帮助地图读者找到从起点到目的地的适当移动方式。公交线路图的设计是一项复杂而耗时的工作，需要仔细考虑可读性和美观性。本文提出了一种新的公交线路图设计计算方法。该方法可以帮助我们减少公交线路图中的六种不良因素，即间隙、移位、交叉、重叠、错位和急弯。该方法包括两个阶段：线路布置阶段确定公交路线在每个路段的相对顺序，地图布置阶段计算公交路线在地图上的实际位置。本文将该方法应用于日本千叶市公交线路图的设计。该结果支持了该方法的有效性，并揭示了未来研究的开放主题。
ABSTRACT The bus route map is a diagram that aims to convey necessary information for map readers to find an appropriate way of moving from an origin to a destination. Design of bus route map is a complicated and time-consuming task that requires careful consideration of readability and aesthetics. This paper proposes a new computational method for designing bus route maps. The method helps us to reduce six types of undesirable elements in bus route maps, i.e., gap, shift, crossing, overlap, misalignment, and acute bend. The method consists of two phases: line layout phase determines the relative order of bus routes on each road segment and map layout phase calculates the actual position of bus routes drawn on a map. This paper applies the method to the design of bus route maps of Chiba City, Japan. The result supports the effectiveness of the method as well as reveals open topics for future research.
