Week 14: Network Analysis and Midterm 2¶

Also this week

Midterm 2 — closed book, concept based, in the Testing Center — opens Tuesday 8:00 am and closes Thursday 9:00 pm; the Testing Center late fee starts Thursday 2:00 pm.
Final project proposal meeting with the instructor — by Friday 5:00 pm; update the class Google document with your team, idea, and data.
See the Final Project page for the requirements, the proposal meeting, the milestones, and how the project is scored.

Presentation Slides¶

Tuesday — Network Analysis, Part A — Distance along the roads: what a network dataset is made of, edges, junctions and connectivity, impedance in minutes, one-way streets and turns, and why the shortest route is not the fastest.
Thursday — Network Analysis, Part B — Three solvers on one network: service areas, closest facility and location-allocation in ArcGIS Pro, a buffer against a service area for the same four minutes, and Lab 12.

Press F for fullscreen and P for presenter view with speaker notes.

Self-check quizzes — not graded; open them on a phone or laptop as often as you like:

Along the Roads — Five questions on what a network dataset is made of: junctions and connectivity, one-way streets as a cost, two impedances that give two routes, what UGRC's 1.5 factor stands for, and which distance belongs to a fire engine.
Four Minutes Away — Five questions on Solve, which solver answers which question, why a buffer and a service area disagree about the same four minutes, and what Lab 12's cutoff decides.

Due Saturday at 11:59 pm as one PDF report on Learning Suite — 50 points.

No reading quiz this week.
