Figure 19: Feedlinks joining communities and service points to the road network
Use Delaunay networks or triangulation to create a set of triangles that connect nearby communities
and service points to one another. The triangles are generated by the GIS software and the triangle
edges show the shortest distances between communities and/or service points.
Figure 20 provides an illustration of a Delaunay network linking communities and service points to one
another.
Figure 20: Delaunay network linking communities and service points to one another
After you have created the Feedlinks and Delauney networks, you need to identify links between
communities, service points and the road network that need to be deleted manually because they cross
geographic barriers that make them inaccessible. Barriers include, for instance, steep mountainous
areas, conservation areas and large rivers.
