Learning outcomes |
The course aims to provide students with skills for the use of Geographic Information Systems in the spatial analysis of network vector systems. The following competencies are transmitted to students: (a) Understanding the concepts of network, network model and network analysis operations. (b) Ability to execute the main types of network analysis (shortest path, closest facility, origin-destination cost matrix, service area, vehicle routing and location-allocation).

Syllabus |
1. Network concept and introduction to network analysis.
2. GIS vector model for network analysis: graph, node, link, topological properties, attributes (impedance, turns, elevation and direction).
3. Network analysis operations: shortest path, closest facility, origin-destination cost matrix, service area, vehicle routing and location-allocation.
4. Applications of network analysis.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
This course takes place during the 2nd semester and consists of 30 hours of contact with the teacher, 170 hours of student autonomous work and 10 hours for evaluation (total: 210 hours). The course is credited with 7.5 ECTS. The course is structured with theoretical classes T (comprehensive learning of facts, concepts and principles) and theoretical-practical classes – TP (presentation of small practical examples and application of theoretical concepts to solve practical problems). Evaluation is performed in two phases: periodic evaluation with test (50%) and continuous evaluation with one practical problem (50%); final exam for admitted students (50% exam + 50% practical problem).
