route renewal
[ESRI software] In ArcGIS Network Analyst, an object used in vehicle routing problem (VRP) analysis.

 


Route surveys establish the location of transportation routes such as:
Highways and roads,
Railways,
Rapid transit,
Canals,
Pipelines, and
Transmission lines.

The best route computed by GreenGPS to the same destination may differ from one vehicle to another.

Route Simulation Example.
In practice, the model would be run several times varying criteria map layers and weighting to more fully understand the routing sensitivities for a proposed pipeline.

ArcLogistics helps you create optimized routes and schedules based on multiple factors such as customer needs, business rules, vehicle traits, and street restrictions.

route analysis
A method of determining the minimum distance between points to determine efficiency of pedestrian and vehicle paths, travel times of routes, and most effective routes and means of linear distribution.

Route
A group of waypoints entered into the GPS receiver in the sequence you desire to navigate them.

Route Description
3-47. This describes the route to the station site.

Route A process that establishes connections through a network or grid from a source to a destination. A network example would be to establish a route through a network of streets from a fire station to the fire.

Route and Track data may be uploaded as points by using the -p flag, otherwise they will be imported as a line. You can run v.in.garmin multiple times and merge the line and point vectors with the v.

Route 66 was coming off the recent announcement of ROUTE 66 Mobile 2006 - Symbian UIQ. ROUTE 66 Mobile 2006 - Symbian UIQ" turns your Symbian UIQ mobile phone into a wireless navigation system.

Route - Routes usually define specific paths along a line segment or multiple line segments. For example, the portion(s) of a street that are traversed in order to get from location "A" to location "B" including the direction traveled.

route analysis
In ArcGIS Network Analyst, a type of network analysis that determines the best route from one network location to one or more other locations. It can also calculate the quickest or shortest route depending on the impedance chosen.

Route
A user-created linear feature that provides optimal directions between a starting and finishing point. Depending on the DeLorme software title being used, routes may be created on roads, trails, or using direct or point-to-point calculation.

En route to the coast, he and his party were attacked by Hindu rebels, and separated from the others he was robbed and nearly lost his life. Nevertheless, he managed to catch up with his group within two days, and continued the journey to Cambay.

Great Circle Route:
The shortest distance between two places on the Earth's surface. The route follows a line described by the intersection of the surface with an imaginary plane passing through the Earth's center.

Where to drill, route a pipeline, or build a refinery are all questions that rely heavily on an understanding of geography. Chevron relies on GIS for resource analysis. Learn more about GIS for Petroleum and Pipeline.

However, that easy route would not be the most economical choice in terms of distance, as the geodesic line shows.

A GIS can simulate the route of materials along a linear network. It is possible to assign values such as direction and speed to the digital stream and "move" the contaminants through the stream system.

In addition to user-defined attributes, the SEC contains information on both the route number and arc number to which the section belongs, the starting and ending positions expressed as percentages of the arc length, ...

It usually is a large-scale map of a small area or of a route. It may be entirely the product of an engineering survey, or reliable information may be collected from various sources for the purpose, and assembled on a base map.

Feature classes represented as geographic features include points, arcs, nodes, route-systems, routes, sections, polygons, and regions. They can also store annotations, dimensions, x, y, z coordinates, and addresses.

Fleet Management: Companies managing fleets of vehicles such as taxicabs, buses, commercial trucks, and rental cars will enjoy increases in efficiency as their ability to track and route individual vehicles improves.

Terrain can substantially influence the locations of facilities and transportation routes as well as human and physical interactions across space.

First, a route system is created by associating adjacent line segments into one or more groups that have a definite linear sequence.

depicted of small areas (a city, a trade route, a hunting ground, a military campaign etc)

At sea, early navigators limited their voyages to coastal routes to avoid becoming lost. New methods for determining position arose as trade between distant ports increased.

The first step is to take the square route of 5,500 meters, which is close 74.16 meters. This means that we can now picture a square with sides equal to 74.16 meters. Since there are 1000 meters in a kilometer we need to divide 74.

Coverage feature classes for representing geographic features include point, arc, node, route-system, route, section, polygon and region.

Under certain circumstances intervening opportunity might ultimately help to create interaction between distant complementary areas by making construction of intermediate transport routes profitable and thus paying part of the cost of constructing a ...

Today, biologists use collar transmitters and satellite receivers to track the migration routes of caribou and polar bears to help design programs to protect the animals.

You come back home at 4 o’clock in the afternoon travelling along the same route. Then at 5 o’clock you call your friends and go for a football game at the nearby playground, which is 10 minutes walk from your house.

Beset by difficulties, the expl orers ask for a faster route, but the computer says the alternative is too dangerous.

A single ArcInfo data source, for example, may contain label polygon, arc, label point, annotation, node, region, and route features, or a single geodatabase may contain several different data sources.

Hydrographic charts -- essential for the safe navigation of water transportation routes.
Aeronautical charts -- pilots rely on them for accurate information on flight paths and approaches to airports.

Spread functions can be used to evaluate the cost of transversing an area and often are used to evaluate alternative routes for transportation and utilities. Such routines will find the lowest cost route between two points.

The map database is also used for route planning and guidance, and possibly advanced functions involving active safety, driver assistance and location-based services.

A theme is a set of related features, such as nations, districts, cities, streets, parcels, utilities, or bus routes, along with the attributes for those features.

Topological relationships are built from simple elements into complex elements: points (simplest elements), arcs (set of connected points), areas (sets of connected arcs), and routes (sets of sections, which are arcs or portions of arcs).
