NAME

v.net.allpairs - Computes the shortest path between all pairs of nodes in the network.

KEYWORDS

vector, network, shortest path

SYNOPSIS

v.net.allpairs

v.net.allpairs --help

v.net.allpairs [-g] input=name output=name [arc_layer=string] [node_layer=string] [cats=range] [where=sql_query] [arc_column=name] [arc_backward_column=name] [node_column=string] [--overwrite] [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--ui]

Flags:

-g: Use geodesic calculation for longitude-latitude locations
--overwrite: Allow output files to overwrite existing files
--help: Print usage summary
--verbose: Verbose module output
--quiet: Quiet module output
--ui: Force launching GUI dialog

Parameters:

input=name [required]: Name of input vector map; Or data source for direct OGR access
output=name [required]: Name for output vector map
arc_layer=string: Arc layer; Vector features can have category values in different layers. This number determines which layer to use. When used with direct OGR access this is the layer name.; Default: 1
node_layer=string: Node layer; Vector features can have category values in different layers. This number determines which layer to use. When used with direct OGR access this is the layer name.; Default: 2
cats=range: Category values; Example: 1,3,7-9,13
where=sql_query: WHERE conditions of SQL statement without 'where' keyword; Example: income < 1000 and population >= 10000
arc_column=name: Arc forward/both direction(s) cost column (number)
arc_backward_column=name: Arc backward direction cost column (number)
node_column=string: Node cost column (number)

DESCRIPTION

v.net.allpairs computes the shortest path between each selected node and all other selected nodes. The output is a vector with the selected nodes and the shortest paths.

NOTES

An attribute table is created and linked to layer arc_layer. The table contains four columns: cat, from_cat, to_cat, cost. Each cat entry denotes the category of the shortest path from the node with category from_cat to the node with category to_cat. If points are specified by cats, layer or where parameters then the table is filled only for the selected points.
If arc_backward_column is not given then then the same costs are used for forward and backward arcs.

EXAMPLE

Find shortest path along roads from selected archsites (Spearfish sample dataset):

# prepare network: connect archsites to roads with threshold 200
v.net input=roads@PERMANENT points=archsites@PERMANENT \
output=roads_net operation=connect thresh=200

# verify result
v.category input=roads_net option=report

# only lines should have a category in layer 1
# only points should have a category in layer 2

# shortest path between all points with categories 1 - 5 in layer 2
v.net.allpairs input=roads_net cats=1-5 out=roads_net_all
v.db.select roads_net_all

Result in matrix form:

from\to	1		3		4		5
1	0		18820.386	17206.651	17373.274
3	18820.386	0		1739.079	9040.575
4	17206.651	1739.079	0		7426.84
