nodes table structure#

The nodes table holds all the network nodes available in AequilibraE transit model.

The node_id field is an identifier of the node.

The is_centroid field holds information if the node is a centroid of a network or not. Assumes values 0 or 1. Defaults to 0.

The stop_id field indicates which stop this node belongs too. This field is TEXT as it might encode a street name or such.

The line_id field indicates which line this node belongs too. This field is TEXT as it might encode a street name or such.

The line_seg_idx field indexes the segment of line line_id. Zero based.

The modes field identifies all modes connected to the node.

The link_type field identifies all link types connected to the node.

The node_type field identifies the types of this node.

The taz_id field is an identifier for the transit assignment zone this node belongs to.
