NOA Route Design Tool ​

Map rectangle-drawing tool for visual, drag-and-drop rule-area selection and NOA route design.

Core Pain Points ​

  1. Inconvenient rule-area selection: When generating routes inside a bounded rectangular geographic area, manually inputting boundaries or repeatedly adjusting ranges is not intuitive.
  2. Lack of real-time feedback during operation: Without live preview, range deviation is easy to introduce.
  3. Route-design efficiency needs improvement: Traditional operation steps are many,不利于 completing target-area selection quickly.

Solution & Technical Implementation ​

  1. Activate the drawing tool: Click the "Draw Rectangle Area" button to activate map drawing; the mouse cursor switches to crosshair.
  2. Locate the starting point: On the map, find the desired starting point and hold down the left mouse button to prepare drawing.
  3. Drag to draw + real-time preview: Drag the mouse to the opposite corner; the system displays a semi-transparent rectangle in real time.
  4. Release to confirm: Releasing the mouse auto-confirms and locks the rectangular area; subsequent routes can then be generated.

Highlights ​

  • Four-step intuitive interaction: Activate, locate, drag, confirm — low learning cost.
  • Real-time range feedback: A semi-transparent rectangle shows boundaries instantly.
  • Auto-lock result: Confirmation completes as soon as the mouse is released.

Business Value ​

  • Simplifies complex area-parameter operations down to mouse drag-and-drop, reducing operation steps and communication overhead.
  • Intuitive map interaction helps non-algorithm personnel quickly complete rule-area selection.
  • The rectangle-drawing capability can be reused across different maps, test areas, and route-planning projects.
