10. Road Topology A road topology for the Maltese Islands was created using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Every road was represented by a polyline and every road junction was represented by a point. In a road topology every road segment is called a link and every road junction is called a node.

11. Road topology (cont.) Every road was digitized using links for each segment (from junction to junction). Eventually links were joint together using nodes. The latter were also used to represent the end-point of a link. Link Node End point of a link

12. The Maltese Islands’ Topology

13. Attributes Inputted For the whole topology the following attributes were inputted: – Prefix: prefix for the road name (e.g. Triq il- ; Wesghat il- ; Pjazza etc.) – Name: name of the road – Locality: Local council that the road lies within

14. Attributes Inputted (cont.) For the main road network, additional data was inputted: – The Road Type and Road Class – Link Name – Annual Average Daily Traffic – Mean Speed – Accidents per 100 million vehicle km – Heavy Goods Vehicles Traffic – Recommended Posted Speed Limit – Nitrogen – Major Roads maximum and minimum noise

15. Attributes Inputted (cont.) For the nodes layer the following data was inputted: Code – The Node code (e.g. SD7, NR1) Type – Arterial, Distributor, Rural, Urban Locality – The locality the node lies within
