DESCRIPTION¶

v.net.alloc allocates subnets for nearest centers (direction from center). center nodes must be opened (costs >= 0). Costs of center nodes are used in the calculation. Costs may be either line lengths, or attributes saved in a database table. These attribute values are taken as costs of whole segments, not as costs to traverse a length unit (e.g. meter) of the segment. For example, if the speed limit is 100 km / h, the cost to traverse a 10 km long road segment must be calculated as length / speed = 10 km / (100 km/h) = 0.1 h. Supported are cost assignments for both arcs and nodes, and also different costs for both directions of a vector line. For areas, costs will be calculated along boundary lines. The input vector needs to be prepared with v.net operation=connect in order to connect points representing center nodes to the network.

NOTES¶

Nodes and arcs can be closed using cost = -1. Center nodes can also be assigned to vector nodes using wxGUI vector digitizer.
