Distance Analysis

Distance analysis differs from Reach analysis: Reach measures the amount of reachable network, while Distance measures average or total distance from a source segment to reachable segments.

Directional Distance

Path: Analysis > Distance > Directional Distance

Directional Distance uses a metric search radius and an angle threshold. A radius can be numeric, such as 500, or n for the full network.

Directional Distance and Directional Distance per Segment Length.

The outputs include:

• D: mean directional distance by segment count

• DL: directional distance weighted by segment length

Junction Distance

Path: Analysis > Distance > Junction Distance

Junction Distance replaces directional-change counts with junction counts. A degree threshold of 4 counts 4-way intersections.

Distance Options

Weighted Distance uses numeric attributes in the average distance calculation.

Point Distance

Point Distance computes the distance from one selected segment to every other segment.
