CREATION OF THE ROADS NETWORK AS A NETWORK DATASET WITHIN A GEODATABASE

Monica Elena NICOARA, Ionel HAIDU

ABSTRACT: For the spatial information regarding the Baciu commune a geodatabase was created. For the road network abstraction, the data together with processes, phenomena, failures and complex problems, should be modeled, in order that it has to behave as close as possible to the real one. The modeling of the road network was realized using a Network Dataset structure in ArcGIS 9.2. This represents a model, which can be: stored, accessed, modified, updated, analyzed and visualized. It uses network attributes: costs, descriptions, restrictions, hierarchies. Such structured information can then be also used in other works or studies.

Keywords: Roads network, Network Datatset, model, Geodatabase
