When i built the network i received the error message "Standalone user-defined junction is detected.". </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>After looking at the locations of the ports, it seems that the ports are neither located on a street nor on a waterway. So it's obvious why the error message was displayed.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>And now this is where my problem starts. How can i use the ports for transit between the two modes? I read in </SPAN><A href="http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/3265-Multimodal-data-set-not-functioning-NETWORK-ANALYST">this thread</A><SPAN> about buffers around transition points but i have no idea how to implement such a solution. I am able to create buffers around the ports, but polygons are not usable in the network dataset wizard.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Or is there another approach for such problem? Any help is appreciated!</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 27 Oct 2011 16:49:06 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-network-analyst-questions/multimodal-network-dataset-is-it-possible-to-use/m-p/602626#M5799 StefanDetzlhofer 2011-10-27T16:49:06Z Re: Multimodal network dataset - is it possible to use buffers for changing modes? https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-network-analyst-questions/multimodal-network-dataset-is-it-possible-to-use/m-p/602627#M5800 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>May be try increasing the search tolerance to look for locations (ports ?) or may be connect ports with dummy links with a very low resistance?</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 27 Oct 2011 17:06:16 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-network-analyst-questions/multimodal-network-dataset-is-it-possible-to-use/m-p/602627#M5800 RamB 2011-10-27T17:06:16Z Re: Multimodal network dataset - is it possible to use buffers for changing modes? https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-network-analyst-questions/multimodal-network-dataset-is-it-possible-to-use/m-p/602628#M5801 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>The best way to use point locations such as ports is to add/digitize&nbsp; new links to connect the port to the relevant location on the rest of the network. You could take a look at the Paris multi-modal dataset that is part of the Network Analyst tutorials to see how roads are connected to bus stops/transfer stations to rail.
