It is a powerful tool which provides valuable information to decision makers about the transportation system. TransCAD is a fully integrated travel modeling and GIS software widely used by transportation planners around the world. No wonder I was having so much trouble getting the routes to display where I wanted them.Įureka! Of course I have tomorrow off work in observance of Veteran's Day, and by the time Wednesday comes around I'll probably have forgotten the problem! Fuck! That would have made everything a heck of a lot easier. So, I think I was able to fix the stop problems but then I discovered that the additional part of the route that I'd inserted had this weird loop in it I couldn't get out no matter how I selected the route (shortest path or click segments) so that it.shit I think I just figured it out! My road network includes local roads for display purposes and when I created the. After 20 more minutes of staring at the screen I figured out that I could use the map editor to manually delete the points in the stop layer. Then I discover that the stop layer can't be opened with exclusive access so that the attributes can be changed. The bitch of it was when I saved the edits, I hadn't deleted the stop on the second pass which, for some reason, changed the pass count field in the stop layer to zero and created the evil.
I was finally able to get most of the route altered by realigning nearly half of it. While adding an entirely new route and deleting an entire existing route went off without a hitch I ran into a shit ton of errors when I tried to extend a portion of a route from a stop in the middle of the route along a perpendicular road and back.
The transit route system updates were not nearly as enjoyable! I'm using TransCAD version 5.0 which I've found, in general, to be easier to work with route systems but I ran into some frustrating situations today.
The road network edits were simple and straightforward, in fact, they didn't even involve any geography editing, just updating some attributes. Today I was editing both a road and transit network to reflect programmed projects in the Transportation Improvement Program.
