Flow-Links OD results
Flow links is similar to Region-based OD tool with advanced capability of selecting multiple Via regions or filtering all possible trips occurring between a specified origin and destination, including routes passing through various combinations of areas.
Here, you can create custom filters to analyze traffic patterns between regions in your study.
Results can be viewed in three different ways:
- The info and summary tabs provide general details about the study.
- Flow Link shows all results with the filters for narrowing down the results to subsets of outcomes.
- The Labels tab allows you to assign names and metadata to each study, making it easier to organize and manage projects.
Info
The Flow Links Info tab provides an overview of the study output, including details such as the project name, selected date ranges, time ranges, and region geometries. In the map section, clicking See Results takes you directly to the Flow Links tab, where results are displayed visually.
Managing Your Study
Six options are available for managing your study:
- Download: Export the results in GeoJSON format.
- Archive: Save the study for record-keeping or future reference.
- Clone: Duplicate the study with all defined parameters. This is useful if you want to run the same setup for different date ranges, simply adjust the dates in the cloned order while keeping all other settings unchanged.
- Share: Generate a shareable link to give external stakeholders access to your report. When creating the link, you set an expiry date to control how long access remains active. Once the link expires, it can no longer be used to view the report.
- Check Status: View the current processing status of your report. This is useful for monitoring progress and confirming when results are ready to review.
- Delete: Permanently remove the study from your workspace
Summary
The Summary tab provides an overview of the analysis, including:
- The total number of trips analyzed for the selected date ranges and time sets within the study area.
- The total length of road networks in road classes 0–7 within the study area.
- iNode credit usage for the report.
- Detailed trip counts for each selected time set and date range
Flow links
The Flow links tab allows you to create custom queries to analyze the number of trips occurring between different regions.
To query results, start by selecting the desired date range and time sets, then choose the regions you want to analyze.
For example, if you select Region A as the origin, you can then pick additional regions from the list. You also have the option to:
- Include an external region (outside the selected regions), or
- View all trips originating from Region A to any destination.
Broader query options
- Any region (0 or more):
- Displays all combinations of trips starting from Region A to other regions. This includes trips that both start and end in Region A without passing through any other region.
- Any region (1 or more):
- Shows trips from Region A that must pass through at least one other region (selected region or external) before reaching their destination.
This flexibility allows you to tailor your analysis based on specific travel patterns and regional interactions.
Example
If two regions are selected (as shown below), the results would be:
