Vector network analysis
GRASS provides support for vector network analysis using the DGlib Directed Graph Library.
Implemented algorithms
The following algorithms are implemented (GRASS 6.5+):
- Vector maintenance: v.net
- Shortest path: d.path and v.net.path
- Shortest path between all pairs of nodes v.net.allpairs
- Allocation of sources (create subnetworks, e.g. police station zones): v.net.alloc
- Iso-distances (from centers): v.net.iso
- Computes bridges and articulation points: v.net.bridge
- Computes degree, centrality, betweeness, closeness and eigenvector centrality measures: v.net.centrality
- Computes strongly and weakly connected components: v.net.components
- Computes vertex connectivity between two sets of nodes: v.net.connectivity
- Computes shortest distance via the network between the given sets of features: v.net.distance
- Computes the maximum flow between two sets of nodes: v.net.flow
- Computes minimum spanning tree: v.net.spanningtree
- Minimum Steiner trees (star-like connections, e.g. broadband cable connections): v.net.steiner
- Finds shortest path using timetables: v.net.timetable
- Traveling salesman (round trip): v.net.salesman
Vector directions are defined by the digitizing direction (a-->--b). You can navigate either omnidirectionally or differently in each directions as both directions are supported. Network modules provide parameters to assign attribute columns to the forward and backward direction. To see how a vector is directed, use the "display" parameter of d.vect (set display=dir).

Example: Shortest path routing
