DESCRIPTION

       v.net.alloc allocates subnets for nearest centers (direction from  center).  center  nodes
       must be opened (costs >= 0).  Costs of center nodes are used in the calculation.

       Costs may be either line lengths, or attributes saved in a database table. These attribute
       values are taken as costs of whole segments, not as costs to traverse a length unit  (e.g.
       meter) of the segment. For example, if the speed limit is 100 km / h, the cost to traverse
       a 10 km long road segment must be calculated as
       length / speed = 10 km / (100 km/h) = 0.1 h.
       Supported are cost assignments for both arcs and nodes, and also different costs for  both
       directions of a vector line.  For areas, costs will be calculated along boundary lines.

       The  input  vector  needs  to be prepared with v.net operation=connect in order to connect
       points representing center nodes to the network.

NOTES

       Nodes and arcs can be closed using cost = -1.

       Center nodes can also be assigned to vector nodes using wxGUI vector digitizer.

EXAMPLES

       1. Subnetwork allocation using distance:

       2. Subnetwork allocation using traveling time:

       Example 1: Calculating subnets for 3 center nodes using distances
       # Spearfish
       # center nodes:
       echo "591235.5|4926306.62|1
       596591.8|4917042.5|2
       602722.9|4923544.2|3" | v.in.ascii in=- out=centernodes
       g.copy vect=roads,myroads
       # connect points to network
       v.net myroads points=centernodes out=myroads_net op=connect thresh=200
       # allocate, specifying range of center cats (easier to catch all):
       v.net.alloc myroads_net out=myroads_net_alloc ccats=1-100000 nlayer=2
       # report categories
       v.category myroads_net_alloc option=report
        To display the result, run for example:
       # show result
       g.region vect=myroads_net
       d.mon x0
       d.vect myroads_net layer=1
       # the result has to be selected by category number of the relevant node:
       d.vect myroads_net_alloc cat=1 col=red layer=1
       d.vect myroads_net_alloc cat=2 col=green layer=1
       d.vect myroads_net_alloc cat=3 col=yellow layer=1
       # center nodes
       d.vect myroads_net col=red icon=basic/triangle fcol=green size=12 layer=2

       Example 2: Calculating subnets for 3 center nodes using traveling time

       # Spearfish
       # center nodes:
       echo "591235.5|4926306.62|1
       596591.8|4917042.5|2
       602722.9|4923544.2|3" | v.in.ascii in=- out=centernodes
       g.copy vect=roads,myroads
       # create lines map connecting points to network
       v.net myroads points=centernodes out=myroads_net op=connect thresh=500 alayer=1 nlayer=2
       # set up costs
       # create unique categories for each road in layer 3
       v.category in=myroads_net out=myroads_net_time opt=add cat=1 layer=3 type=line
       # add new table for layer 3
       v.db.addtable myroads_net_time layer=3 col="cat  integer,label  varchar(43),length  double
       precision,speed double precision,cost double precision,bcost double precision"
       # copy road type to layer 3
       v.to.db myroads_net_time layer=3 qlayer=1 opt=query qcolumn=label columns=label
       # upload road length in miles
       v.to.db myroads_net_time layer=3 type=line option=length col=length unit=miles
       # set speed limits in miles / hour
       v.db.update myroads_net_time layer=3 col=speed val="5.0"
       v.db.update myroads_net_time layer=3 col=speed val="75.0" where="label='interstate'"

       hard surface'"
       v.db.update myroads_net_time layer=3 col=speed val="50.0" where="label='secondary highway,
       hard surface'"
       v.db.update  myroads_net_time  layer=3 col=speed val="25.0" where="label='light-duty road,
       improved surface'"
       v.db.update myroads_net_time layer=3 col=speed val="5.0" where="label='unimproved road'"
       # define traveling costs as traveling time in minutes:
       # set forward costs
       v.db.update myroads_net_time layer=3 col=cost val="length / speed * 60"
       # set backward costs
       v.db.update myroads_net_time layer=3 col=bcost val="length / speed * 60"
       # subnetwork allocation with fastest paths
       v.net.alloc    in=myroads_net_time    alayer=3     nlayer=2     afcol=cost     abcol=bcost
       out=myroads_net_alloc_time ccats=1-3
        To display the result, run for example:
       # show result
       g.region vect=myroads_net
       d.mon x0
       d.vect myroads_net type=line layer=1

       d.vect myroads_net_alloc_time cat=2 col=green layer=1
       d.vect myroads_net_alloc_time cat=3 col=yellow layer=1
