Lab 3 – Determining Quality of Road Networks

A comparison of "completeness" between the national TIGER data set
and a local, county-level, data set.
This week's assignment involved assessing completeness in road networks.  There are several means to assess the completeness of a road system; however, road length comparisons to known 'accurate' data sets are among the most common.  This involved calculating the total length of road segments within a grid of equal sized squares.

This was applied in lab by assessing the completeness, defined as road length, between a local and national road data set.  The map product at the right shows the comparison.
