Representing and Analyzing Networks in GIS Network: a system of linear features connected at intersections and interchanges A network is composed of a set of nodes and a set of spanning directed links. Each link is represented by an ordered pair of nodes (i,j).
Node-Node Adjacency Matrix • The rows and columns in the matrix correspond to the nodes on the network. • A non-zero element in the ith row and jth column in the matrix represents the numerical value associated with link (i, j). • A zero element in the matrix in the ith row and jth column in the matrix indicates that there exists no link going from node i to node j.
Forward Star Representation • Links are numbered in the following order: • First links emanating from node 1 are numbered, then those from node 2, and so forth. • Links emanating from the same node are numbered in an arbitrary fashion. • Once this list of ordered links is obtained, data associated with the links are stored in single arrays sequentially.
Forward Star Representation Node Pointer Table
Reverse Star Representation Forward star representation facilitates accessing links by beginning nodes Reverse star representation facilitates accessing links by ending nodes Incoming links at each node are numbered sequentially
