2. The Impact of Closing Streets for a Parade
We’re going to do a quick analysis of the impact of closing down some strees in downtown Flintbury for a parade.
We’ll use the network, shortest path, and matrix capabilities of TransCAD to compare the person-hours spent driving in Flintbury under normal conditions with the person-hours spent driving with the parade route closed.
