title: Counterpart Paths: Example paths, comparison network, and SCPPOD Output

description: <b>InputData Directory</b><br><br>This network dataset is an example of a network to which paths from other networks (i.e. Networks A and B) can be compared.<br><br>Contains two directories:<br>a) NetworkC <br>b) NetworkPaths<br>NetworkC contains an ESRI .gdb in which the arcs and nodes for Network C can be found as well as an ArcGIS ND Network Analyst configuration file. This network is based upon a subset of the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) July 2016 road dataset lined in the references.<br><br>NetworkPaths contains ESRI .gdbs representing:<br>a) Polyline representations of the shortest paths between origin-destination nodes in each network (e.g. NetworkAPaths.gdb)<br>b) A point representation of the nodes in each path in each network (e.g. NetworkAPathPoints)<br>c) The origin and destination points for the paths (ODNodes.gdb)<br><b>OutputData Directory</b><br>Collection of ESRI .gdb which contain solutions to the SCPPOD with the following naming convention:<br><br>e.g.) comparing paths in Network A to Network B (SCCPODarcsPathAtoNetB.gdb for arc elements and SCCPODnodesPathAtoNetB.gdb for node elements)<br>Solutions can be accessed similarly for:<br>a) comparing paths in Network A to Network B SCCPODarcsPathAtoNetB.gdb for arc elements and SCCPODnodesPathAtoNetB.gdb for node elements)<br>b) comparing paths in Network A to Network C SCCPODarcsPathAtoNetC.gdb for arc elements and SCCPODnodesPathAtoNetC.gdb for node elements)<br>c) comparing paths in Network B to Network A SCCPODarcsPathBtoNetA.gdb for arc elements and SCCPODnodesPathBtoNetA.gdb for node elements)<br>d) comparing paths in Network B to Network CSCCPODarcsPathBtoNetC.gdb for arc elements and SCCPODnodesPathBtoNetC.gdb for node elements)<br> e) comparing paths in Network C to Network A <br>SCCPODarcsPathCtoNetA.gdb for arc elements and SCCPODnodesPathCtoNetA.gdb for node elements)<br>f) comparing paths in Network C to Network BSCCPODarcsPathCtoNetB.gdb for arc elements and SCCPODnodesPathCtoNetB.gdb for node elements)<br>Inside each .gdb, the SCPPOD solutions for each path can be found. The naming convention for the node solutions for path id X is ('SN_routeX_X'), while the naming convention for the arc solutions for path id X is ('routX_Rt' for single polyline counterpart path; and 'routeX_Rtsplit' for a polyline representation of the counterpart path based upon the SCPPOD node output).<br>Also included is a collection of ESRI .gdb that represent the original path nodes that could be assigned to the comparison network. In this case, only nodes that were within 20m of the comparison network could be assigned. Each path node is attributed with the distance to its counterpart node in the comparison. For example, the nodes all of the paths from Network A that could be assigned to Network B are contained in the 'PathANodesAssignedtoNetB.gdb'.<br>Solutions can be accessed similarly for:<br>a) Nodes in Network A paths assigned to Network B (PathANodesAssignedtoNetB.gdb)<br>b) Nodes in Network A paths assigned to Network C(PathANodesAssignedtoNetC.gdb)<br>c) Nodes in Network B paths assigned to Network A(PathBNodesAssignedtoNetA.gdb)<br>d) Nodes in Network B paths assigned to Network C(PathBNodesAssignedtoNetC.gdb)<br>e) Nodes in Network C paths assigned to Network A(PathCNodesAssignedtoNetA.gdb)<br>f) Nodes in Network C paths assigned to Network B(PathCNodesAssignedtoNetB.gdb)<br>
