Hi Folks

Does anyone know of find python scripts and workflows for Right of Way analysis? Where can I find information of best practices for ROW analysis?

In an urban context? Parcel fabric? How about Geoprocessing tools? Spatial modelling like for pipeline/utility right of ways?

You had better clarify... and with the software version number and your adeptness with coding as well to limit options.

Hi Dan,

Thanks for responding to my post. I am trying to figure out how the pipeline industry or transportation industry use a python script or a workflow for or a process to do right of way analysis. It is in urban setting so parcels are involved. But I don't know much about parcel fabrics and how they are used.

I am very limited in terms of my knowledge of python coding. I can do the basic and not much.

I am trying to figure what kind of data is required. Parcel data, the actual pipeline segment.

Is there a process?

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks again.

Ravi

Your question is very broad and hard to answer in a meaningful context...

I would suggest to search and read up on Corridor analysis?

For Highway Engineering this is a good reading site for analyzing roads... Corridor Analysis

And to add to Ted's recommendation, Cost Path analysis is another tool if you are looking for modelling more in open or less constrained space.

Look into "pipeline alignment sheets". There are lots of examples out there, and lots of third party tools that will generate them for you.

Where could I find the cost path analysis tool
