GEOG 310- Quiz 6

Matching multiple addresses at once describes:

Batch geocoding

The component of a network that describes how features properly link up with one another is:

Connectivity

An address locator style is used in geocoding for which of the following?

It establishes the criteria for how the geocoding is going to be performed.

The base street later used as a source for geocoding is:

Reference layer

The police station for Martin is being moved to a facility from downtown to an address on North Lindell St a couple of miles from the city center. What analysis could be performed that would suggest that this is not a good idea.

Service Area and Spider Diagram to incidents

"Impedance" refers to:

The cost of traversing a network edge

TIGER line files are created and maintained by:

U.S. Census Bureau

In GIS, a "stop" refers to:

a location used in network analysis

A surface that has no impedance values assigned to the surface such that one can travel the same distance in the same amount of time no matter where he or she goes is called:

an isentropic surface

In a network, a link between two intersections is considered a(n):

edge

A network dataset is built from:

feature classes within a feature dataset

In a network, a node that connects two line segments is considered a(n):

junction

Linear interpolation is used in geocoding by:

providing an estimate of where the point should be plotted along a line segment.

The traveling salesman problem is an example of:

rearranging the order of stops

What type of problem solving technique is used when examining utility networks?

trace

What is the end result of geocoding operation?

A set of points, each showing the location of the matched address

An outline utility that allows for geocoding one or more addresses is:

Geocoding service

How is a service area different for a simple buffer?

It is constrained by the edges of the network unlike a regular buffer

Generally, when routing the shortest distance between two points along a network, which distance is most often used?

Manhattan distance

Why would linear interpolation cause an address to be matched to an incorrect location?

The range of addresses in the reference dataset does not match the real-world range of addresses.

The goal of Dijkstra's Algorithm is:

To find the shortest path between an origin and all other nodes in a network

A process used to determine which locations on network are nearest (via network distance) to a different set of location is:

closest facility
