Study Creation
The Study Creation section introduces the step-by-step workflow for building an Origin-Destination analysis in iNode. The process is designed to be intuitive: start by selecting the appropriate study tool , create the region or links of interest, and refine your scope with trip conditions , vehicle types , and date ranges and time sets . Once complete, you’ll review a summary of your selections, including expected sample size and credit usage, before confirming.
Matching OD Study Types to Your Project Goals
When working with the OD Module, the first step is choosing the right OD type for the study objective. Each OD type - whether region-based, selected link/region, or flow links - has been designed with a different perspective in mind. Picking the right study type ensures the analysis answers the questions decision-makers actually care about.
The chapters that follow walk through each step in detail, helping you choose the right options and configure your study with confidence.
Region-Based OD
iNode’s Region-based OD study type is optimized to analyze trips between user-defined regions.
