Geocoding and Shortest Path Analysis: AEJEE Version
select the segments that comprise Virginia Beach Boulevard, a major
east-west corridor that runs through the center of Virginia Beach from
the oceanfront on the east straight through into Norfolk on the west.
6. Construct a 2-mile buffer around the selected features of road and use
the buffer to select libraries that are within the buffer.
Question 8.11 How many libraries are within two miles of Virginia Beach
Boulevard? Which libraries are these?
7. Clear the selected features and build a final query to select all road
segments with their name equal to ‘Independence.’ This will select all
the segments that comprise Independence Boulevard, a key north-south
road in the middle of Virginia Beach.
8. Construct a 2-mile buffer around the selected features of road and use
the buffer to select libraries that are within the buffer.
Question 8.12 How many libraries are within two miles of Independence
Boulevard? Which libraries are these?
Closing Time
This lab demonstrated several types of features associated with geospatial
network data, including calculating a shortest path, geocoding, and using
geocoded results in conjunction with a road network file in GIS. Chapter 9
will switch gears and introduce some new concepts dealing with remote sensing of Earth (and the roads built on top of it).
