Selected Link/Region OD Results
The results page provides a comprehensive overview of your study’s findings. To access it, click on your study once its status changes to results ready.
Pro Tip
At this point, you’ve created a Selected Link/Region OD study centred on a road segment or a region extended to a radius 5-50 km from your selection. Based on your selection, iNode has computed all trips within the defined radius.
This can result in tens, hundreds our thousands of observed trips, and iNode’s filtering feature allows you to narrow down the results and report on the specific subset of data most relevant to your objective. The filtering criteria include:
- Time of day/day of week filtering to include results based on a specific date/time range.
- Trip volume filtering to focus only on OD relations above a certain threshold.
- Direction filtering to include incoming and/or outcoming trips in your results.
There are four tabs across the top:
- The info and summary tabs provide general details about the study.
- Flow Map 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 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, See Results takes you directly to the Flow Map 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 Map
In the Flow Map tab, you can view results on the map, query the data, and download results in Shapefile or GeoJSON formats.
- Date section: Select different date ranges defined during job creation.
- Time section: Choose specific time sets selected earlier to display results for that time set.
- Direction section: Have three options to view traffic flows:
- All: Displays both incoming and outgoing trips for the selected segment.
- Incoming: Shows only incoming trips to the selected segment on the map for the chosen date range and time set.
- Outgoing: Displays only outgoing trips from the selected segment for the specified date range and time set.
Example
- The blue segment is the selected link for the study. Users can view results either as Trips (absolute number of cars) or as Percentage (share of trips). The direction setting (Incoming/Outgoing) also applies; in this case, it’s set to Incoming.
- On the selected link:
- If set to Trips, the number (e.g., 135,306) shows the total probes that reached this link in the chosen date range and time set. This value always equals 100% when expressed as a percentage.
- Other road segments are displayed in a color scale (light green = smaller values → darker green → yellow → orange → red = higher values → blue = selected link). For example, the segment before the selected link is shown in red with 133,321 trips. This means 133,321 out of 135,306 cars also traveled that segment, or 99% when viewed as a percentage.
- Overall, this study shows how many trips pass through each segment leading to the selected link, helping users understand traffic patterns.
If the minimum percentage is set to 1.5%, only segments with values greater than or equal to 1.5% of the incoming or outgoing traffic to the selected segment will be displayed.
Additionally, you can click on any segment in the map to:
- View all paths originating from that segment and leading to the selected link.
- See details such as the total number of trips on each path and information about alternative routes to the selected segment.
There is a Download tool located in the top-left corner of the map. It allows you to export the results in Shapefile or GeoJSON format.
- The data that gets downloaded depends on the selected Direction setting.
- For example, if the Direction is set to All, both Incoming and Outgoing trips will be included in the exported file.
