DESCRIPTION
v.net.alloc allocates subnets for nearest centers. Center nodes must be opened (costs >= 0). Costs of center nodes are used in the calculation.
Costs may be either line lengths, or attributes saved in a
database table. These attribute values are taken as costs of whole
segments, not as costs to traverse a length unit (e.g. meter) of the
segment. For example, if the speed limit is 100 km / h, the cost to
traverse a 10 km long road segment must be calculated as
length / speed = 10 km / (100 km/h) = 0.1 h.
Supported are cost assignments for both arcs and nodes,
and also different costs for both directions of a vector line.
For areas, costs will be calculated along boundary lines.
The input vector needs to be prepared with v.net operation=connect in order to connect points representing center nodes to the network.
The nearest center can be determined using either costs from the nearest center or costs to the nearest center with option method. See example below.
By default, the category value of the nearest center is used as category value for output lines. With the -u flag, output lines become unique categories and an attribute table is created with the fields cat, ocat, center. The ocat field holds the original line category in arc_layer and the center field holds the center category in node_layer. Additionally, original line categories are copied from the input arc_layer to layer 2 in the output, together with any attribute table.
Application of flag -t enables a turntable support. This flag requires additional parameters turn_layer and turn_cat_layer that are otherwise ignored. The turntable allows to model e.g. traffic code, where some turns may be prohibited. This means that the input layer is expanded by turntable with costs of every possible turn on any possible node (intersection) in both directions. Turntable can be created by the v.net module. For more information about turns in the vector network analyses see wiki page.
NOTES
Nodes and arcs can be closed using cost = -1.Center nodes can also be assigned to vector nodes using wxGUI vector digitizer.

Example 3: Differences between costs from centers and costs to centers
Each lane of the two-lane road is a one-way road.
1. Subnetwork allocation from centers:
A center reaches any point following the one-way lanes.
2. Subnetwork allocation to centers:
Any node reaches reaches the nearest center following the one-way lanes.
In case of an accident, the ambulance should come from the nearest 'from' hospital and go to the nearest 'to' hospital.
