Problems of 3D network analysis performed in Network Analyst (ArcGIS) and pgRouting (PostGIS) software
Abstract
The study proved that both 3D network analysis tools offered correctly operating, commercial and open source software functionality. In ArcGIS proper preparation of 3D data was essential, which, unfortunately, was not facilitated by available editing and visualization tools. For example, proposing own solution for topological correctness was necessary. 3D analyses are performed in exactly the same way as those in 2D. However, the experience show, that presentation of results for 3D data is impeded and some options available for 2D do not work properly in 3D environment. The pgRouting module is, by default, limited to 2D space. However, the accessibility of source code allowed the authors to make own modifications of particular functions, which enabled moving to 3D. As a database designed for network analyses has to meet specific requirements concerning algorithms to be used, it was necessary to develop it in a multi-step process, which may not be susceptible to automation in each case. Similarly to other database management systems, PostGIS does not offer its own tools for data and results visualization and thus it was necessary to indicate additional software with the needed functionality.
