    • Learning objectives (module level):

      • understand the objective of spatial analytics to create information for decision support from data, by exploring patterns, relations and context
      • apply exploratory data analysis techniques to detect any underlying spatial organisation 
      • create analytical workflows from individual methods and techniques aiming at answering specific questions and solving problems
      • select adequate spatial analysis approaches based on generic concepts and data characteristics
      • automate analytical workflows for pattern detection and knowledge extraction

    • Learning objectives:

      • Explore conceptual foundations of network-constrained mobility and transport
      • Use the principle of 'cost' for creating and applying weighted networks
      • Create simple routes and service areas 
      • Map real world use cases to network analysis methods

    • Lab: Network Analysis URL

      Networks connect people and places, and facilitate activities based on mobility, communication and transport.

    • Esri Academy: Preparing for Network Analysis URL

      (Pro) One of the first steps for transportation network analysis projects is to create the data modeling infrastructure. Learn the basic concepts of network data modeling in ArcGIS and how to use the ArcGIS Network Analyst extension to create a network dataset.
