2. 2 Motivation Most of the spatial database literature focuses on Euclidean spaces.
In practice, objects can usually move only on a pre-defined set of trajectories as specified by the underlying network (road, railway, river etc.).
The important measure is the network distance, i.e., the length of the shortest path connecting two objects, rather than their Euclidean distance.
Every conventional spatial query type (e.g., nearest neighbors, range search, spatial joins and closest pairs) has a counterpart in spatial network databases.
