This week I learned about how to create and add functionality to a network. The first iteration of was just a basic network that could build a route between certain locations.
The second iteration had me connect the RestrictedTurns feature class to the network. This provided a more accurate picture of the route because not all intersections allow every type of turn. The route ended up taking a little longer than the first iteration. At least now the driver won't be violating traffic laws.
The third and final functionality added was historical traffic data. Essentially the earlier models let the driver see how long their route would take without any other vehicles on the road which is not that realistic. This functionality gives the driver a better ability to anticipate their route and the time it will take to complete it. This route took the longest of the three.
