SNAMUTS - Route Segments (Polyline) 2011

This dataset presents the Spatial Network Analysis for Multimodal Urban Transport Systems (SNAMUTS) route segments for the year of 2011. Route segments are a public transport link between two adjacent activity nodes or other network nodes. A numbered public transport route is usually made up of a sequence of consecutive route segments

The SNAMUTS methodology has been developed as a planning and decision-making support tool. It determines accessibility performance from a user perspective, bearing in mind that different users sometimes have different needs: some may value speed more than anything else, some may require barrier-free access as their first priority, others may be drawn primarily to services that are legible and have a high profile in the urban realm. Good accessibility is often the result of a balance and integration of these sometimes competing, sometimes complementary claims on the usability of the land use-transport system. The analysis includes a set of tasks and measurements that highlight the contribution of the public transport network and service development from a range of perspectives.

These are known as the eight key SNAMUTS indicators, they include:

• Service Intensity

• Closeness Centrality

• Degree Centrality

• Network Coverage

• Contour Catchments

• Betweenness Centrality

• Resilience

• Nodal Connectivity

Please note:

• This data provides context to the corresponding indicator datasets: "SNAMUTS - Indicators by Activity Nodes (Point) 2011" or "SNAMUTS - Indicators by Areas (SA1) 2011".

• Some routes are composed of disjoint line segments and as such the data should be used for visualisation purposes only.
