We study hierarchical hub labelings for computing shortest paths. Our new theoretical insights into the structure of hierarchical labels lead to faster preprocessing algorithms, making the labeling approach practical for a wider class of graphs. We also fifind smaller labels for road networks, improving the query speed.
