Abstract: The traffic route maps have become common for the expansion of urban transportation networks. In order to improve the information transmission efficiency and better ensure the clarity and legibility of the graphics, deformed traffic route map has been proposed. In this paper, characteristics of deformed traffic route maps are analyzed and the automatic production processes are summarized. To solve conflicts of map symbols in the production process, a method of compression and deforming for traffic route map is come up with based on station displacement, which is driven by force. A displacement model of forced station in traffic route maps is constructed and a displacement algorithm centered on coordinate axis is designed. It shows in the experiment that the conflicts of map symbols can be settled using this algorithm, which establishes the basis for completely automatic production of deformed traffic maps.

Key words: maps of deformed traffic routes, cartography, displacement, model, algorithm
