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?
Armando,
The
nature of my radio coverage driving generally means that I will take a section
of a grid,
and
drive that, most of my DT are on the order of 8 hours or more as we are usually
doing
a
drive of some sort of radio system and usually it is for doing comparison with
other such
systems. As a example I am going to do a drive test for Hillsborough
County (the county
Tampa
is located in) and I have broken it down into 10 sq mile blocks, then I
calculate how
long
it will take to drive each block, at say 15mph, 20mph, 25mph and 30mph. Right
now
I just
do a rough estimate based on what I know about the area, but something that
would
allow
me to do a real calculation would be so much better. I do not know if this will
fit in
with
what you are doing or not.
