Labels
Labels making it easier to organize and manage projects. These labels appear in billing records, making costs easier to track, and they are also searchable, helping you quickly retrieve past projects by label. By tagging studies with meaningful labels, you can maintain consistency across projects and streamline both reporting and project management.
To create a label for your study:
- Click on settings
- Go to labels:
- Write in the following fields:
- The name of your label
- The value
- The color
- Once the fields have been written then click the add button
To assign/ label to a study, first go to the tab labels under the results of your study then:
- Click on assign label
- Type in the name of the label, its value, in addition to selecting a colour.
- Click Add/Create.
To assign a label that has already been created, simply search for the name of the label under “Name.”
Once you have added or selected your name label, its value and colour, it will appear on the following screen. All your labels can be searched by label or the value assigned to it.
Note that all of the labels you have created can be found in the following locations:
- The Info tab when viewing your study results,
- Settings page
- Home page.
Credit Calculation
How total road network length is calculated
Region-based and Flow-links OD
Road network length FRC 0-5 within a convex hull that encloses the user-defined regions + 10 km external region (where applicable)
Example:
You can add up to 4 date ranges in a single study. For example, if you want to run separate reports for weekends, weekdays, and two seasons for an area with a 4,000 km road network, the total distance would be:
4,000 km
i.e., the multiplier of 4 does not apply in an OD study as opposed to a Traffic Stat study.
Selected link/Region OD
For Selected Link analysis, the kilometers (or miles) are calculated as:
Road network length at functional road classes 0-5 (major roads) within the first 10 km defined radius of analysis area + Road network length at functional road classes 0-2 (highways) for the remaining defined radius (between 10 and 50 km) by user.
Example
If a user wants to present OD Selected Link analysis data for 10 links in two directions, with each link including trips within a 10 km radius and containing 50 km of road network at FRC 0–5, the total kilometers would be:
2 × 10 × 50 = 1,000 km
How iNode credit usage is calculated
iNode uses a credit-based system to track distance-based usage.
- 1 iNode credit = 1 mile (1.61 km).
- For example:
- 2,000 miles = 2,000 credits
- 2,000 kilometers ≈ 1,242 credits
The platform converts distance to credits automatically, so users always know the cost in advance.
