contents Low density graphs are considered to be a realistic graph class for modelling road networks. It has advantages over other popular graph classes for road networks, such as planar graphs, bounded highway dimension graphs, and spanners. We believe that low density graphs have the potential to be a useful graph class for road networks, but until now, its usefulness is limited by a lack of available tools. In this paper, we develop two fundamental tools for low density graphs, that is, a well-separated pair decomposition and an approximate distance oracle. We believe that by expanding the algorithmic toolbox for low density graphs, we can help provide a useful and realistic graph class for road networks, which in turn, may help explain the many efficient and practical heuristics available for road networks.
