GRASS provides support for vector network analysis. The following algorithms are implemented:
 
* Vector maintenance: v.net
* Shortest path: d.path and v.net.path
* Traveling salesman (round trip): v.net.salesman
* Allocation of sources (create subnetworks, e.g. police station zones): v.net.alloc
* Minimum Steiner trees (star-like connections, e.g. broadband cable connections): v.net.steiner
* Iso-distances (from centers): v.net.iso
 
Vector directions are defined by the digitizing direction (a-->--b). Both directions are supported, network modules provide parameters to assign attribute columns to the forward and backward direction.

Vector network analysis GRASS provides support for vector network analysis. The following algorithms are implemented:

  • Vector maintenance: v.net
  • Shortest path: d.path and v.net.path
  • Traveling salesman (round trip): v.net.salesman
  • Allocation of sources (create subnetworks, e.g. police station zones): v.net.alloc
  • Minimum Steiner trees (star-like connections, e.g. broadband cable connections): v.net.steiner
  • Iso-distances (from centers): v.net.iso

Vector directions are defined by the digitizing direction (a-->--b). Both directions are supported, network modules provide parameters to assign attribute columns to the forward and backward direction.

  • v.net.iso - Split net to bands between cost isolines (direction from centre). Costs of centre node are used in calculation.


  • v.net.alloc - Allocates subnets for nearest centres (direction from centre). Costs of centre node are used in calculation.


  • d.path - Find shortest path for selected starting and ending node.
