RE: [Maptitude] Driving times layer

[Dave Twehues]

Armando,

In response to your questions.  Our company does market research/market feasibility studies for apartment, condominium, single-family home and retail establisments.

1) Most common drive times are 5, 10 and 15 minutes

2) Max drive time is 30 min.

3) Min drive time is 3 min.

4) Subsets would be great....to use only interstates, major roads etc...

5) Polygon would more useful as Kevin stated to assign customers as well as compute demographics for the resulting polygon.

 

Thanks again for your generous offer and I am sure lots of hard work Armando!

 

Dave

Thanks ewverybody for your messages about the Drive Times macro

 

I wish I had asked the list BEFORE I started to write te AddIn. I am sure I would have gotten a number of nice suggestions about the type of fucntionality that I could have included.

 

I do have a few question though, that would help me fit the AddIn to as many users needs as possible

 

1) What are the most common drive times you use in your daily work.

2) What is the maximum drive times you have used?  (I would like to know how many of you think that the macro would need to compute drive times taht are beyond a few minutes)

3) what is the minimum drive time you would ever want to compute

4) If you think you need to compute long drive times, do you want them to be computed along all kinds of roads, or only a subset of the road network (i.e. Use only local roads, exclude city streets, and so on, etc)

5) What do you consider to be the  more useful output:  a polygon enclosing the area within xxx minutes drive

time? or the the set of street segments within that drive time?

 

When the AddIn is ready I will post it to the list. 

 

Thanks everybody for your help.

 

Armando
