Vector network analysis
GRASS provides support for vector network analysis using the DGlib Directed Graph Library.
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.
- see the vector map processing and network analysis help page
Shortest path routing
- see the v.net.path module and d.path help pages

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.
