Preparing Street Data for Use with the Network Dataset

Paper discussing the necessary data preprocessing to prepare data for use with the ArcGIS extension Network Analyst and it Dataset.

This paper discusses the necessary data preprocessing to prepare routing attributes on a Streets feature class and a Turns feature class for use in a network dataset and also discusses what settings to use when creating the network dataset to reference these attributes. The paper concludes with verification routines to perform to ensure that the network is created correctly. It assumes that the reader is familiar with using ArcGIS and has a basic understanding of the network dataset, the turn feature class, and ArcGIS Network Analyst.
