How to use the Path Analysis tool to select a road or road segment.
To select a road, click the [Add Path] button located in the Path selection box. This will allow you to select roads on the map.
To make a selection on the map, click once on the road of interest to set an origin point and double-click to select a destination point. To make more complex selections (i.e., a trip with specific turns), you can make a series of single clicks, and then double-click when you've finalised your selection. Make sure your selection takes into account the direction of traffic you are trying to analyse.
If you make a mistake, you can cancel a selection in the Paths Panel by clicking the [x] button next to the corresponding road you wish to delete. The road names and map arrows are colour-coded for ease.
If you are making multiple road selections, you can click the name of the road in the Paths panel and it will zoom in to that particular selection. You can also change the colour of your selections to personalise them by clicking on the coloured dot next to the road name.
Tip: Don't forget to take into account the directional flow of traffic when making a selection. If you make a selection that goes against the flow of traffic, the platform will automatically re-route your selection so that it travels with the flow of traffic. Here's an example of what it looks like on the map when you make a selection against the traffic flow in Redfern Lane, a one-way street. The platform has automatically re-routed the selection around the nearest cross-streets:
