Abstract
Traffic accident base map (TABP) plays important roles in rapid traffic accident treatment. In this chapter, the definition and the contents classification of TABP is studied. Four kinds of contents, traffic signs and symbols, road markings, terrain objects and labels, should be included in such maps. In order to obtain such maps using existing data sources, a method which integrates high resolution satellite images with topographic maps is proposed. Four main steps, preprocessing, geo-reference between imagery and topographic map, symbol and marking digitalization, and field surveying, were introduced accordingly. A mapping system relevant to the TABP generation was developed and applied. At last, two applications, rapid accident treatment and active traffic warning are introduced using such maps.
