Good Settings for Global Turn Delay
I'd like to know what settings others use for global turns in a street network dataset. The default turn costs just seem too low when you consider time required to slow down, make the turn, and speed back up to an average speed, not to mention the possibilities for stop signs and traffic lights. I am setting this up for fire department apparatus response, but I'm interested in hearing from anyone. For people who use this global turn delay evaluator, what settings did you use?
Thanks,
Doug
I think you might have scared people off with the mere mention of the potential use in EMS. I will go out on a limb and say 5 seconds regardless of turns etc.. all EMS vehicles go thtough a signaled intersection with extreme caution anyway. Worse case scenario...the vehicle arrives early...if it came down to choosing a route..the driver would make that decision. I am sure no one in the back would be saying... "You should have..."
There...now that I have blazed the trail.. let others weigh in. (the opinions expressed here are not sanctioned by anybody
