DCESZonalCache
Name: Distance Calculation Expert System Zonal Cache
Type: Application
Modules: Map Description
Description: Describes attributes of Scaled Grid Zonal Caches (which store
average travel time between zones based on street routing). Used by DCES as an
alternate method for estimating distance and travel times. Not exclusive to
PASS.
| Field | Documentation |
|---|---|
| ZonalCacheId | Unique identifier of a Scaled Grid Zonal Cache. |
| recordStatus | Status of the record (A = active, D = deleted, N = under construction). |
| Created | When this comment was created. |
| EffectiveDate | Travel date used for computing the averages for this cache. |
| WeeklyTemplate | Indicates which days of the week the cache is applicable to |
| ValidityCRC | Internal use only (Checksum value). |
| DistanceMethod | Hard-coded value for the type of calculation used to generate the data (e.g., Triangulation or Direct Distance). |
| MapOriginLon | Map origin point (longitude) to which the MapCoverage fields apply. Used with MapOriginLat. |
| MapOriginLat | Map origin point (latitude) to which the MapCoverage fields apply. Used with MapOriginLon. |
| MapCoverageTop | Map region covered by this zonal cache as meters above the map origin point. |
| MapCoverageLeft | Map region covered by this zonal cache as meters to the left of the map origin point. |
| MapCoverageBottom | Map region covered by this zonal cache as meters below the map origin point. |
| MapCoverageRight | Map region covered by this zonal cache as meters to the right of map origin point. |
| BaseZoneSize | Width of zone for base grid in meters. |
| MaxExtent | Maximum number of zones away from the origin zone for which this cache will contain distance and travel times in any given cache grid. |
| MaxZoneSize | Maximum width of a zone in the grid with the largest zones. Creates an upper limit for the number of scaled grids. |
| TimePeriods | Number of time periods a day is divided into (starting at 0:00, ending at 24:00) |
| NumGrids | Number of grids used by this ZonalCacheId. |
| ComputePoints | Number of points used in each zone for computing average travel times to other zones in the grid. |
| ComputeReverse | Defines which travel times are used in calculations (1 = zonal cache includes travel times based on specified arrive times, 2 = zonal cache only include travel times based on specific departure times). |
| VarTimePeriods | Variable size time periods as a CSV list of start times. |
