Hybrid Linear Feature Following

"hybrid what ?" the hybrid linear feature following design rule is a key element for achieving docid\ u m3xc 1mi7ywqjjuukwq it's called 'hybrid' because it combines two approaches when the route can follow a right of way network including proximity to existing infrastructure the system applies linear feature following when it's better to temporarily leave the network, it switches to optioneer's core docid 4enojcrblrnfpqjxvxu4 evolutionary algorithm this dynamic combination ensures routes are both efficient and adaptable, striking the balance between sticking to existing networks and exploring optimized alternatives under the hood, optioneer combines the evolutionary algoirthm (ea) from docid 4enojcrblrnfpqjxvxu4 whenever it identifies points where leaving the network is preferable—such as when encountering a no go zone like a residential building to get started, specify the tables within the design rule in much the same way as the docid\ qvg268wfcjftpo4d mwzm of penalties, no go zones, and preferred layers top tip avoid setting any penalties to zero optioneer interprets this literally and may exploit the “no penalty zone,” leading to unrealistic results next, use the table below to complete the remaining design rule parameters parameter description recommended default encourage following linear features provides additional encouragement for the algorithm to follow linear features if it becomes too exploratory off the network leave this off if not required 1 preference for following linear features if "encourage following linear features" is toggled on , this setting determines how strongly the algorithm enforces that preference lower values mean weaker preference recommended maximum 0 85 penalty for turns in route calculation (0 0 1 0) higher values result in straighter routes this parameter allows you to reduce the number of turns along the route 0 split linear features into segments this increases the number of potential entry/exit points along linear features when optioneer is reviewing possibilities for temporary departure off maximum length for each segment when splitting distance (in metres) for optioneer to repeatedly consider leaving or re joining the linear feature network this paramter is used only when the splitting linear features into segments parameter is toggled on 500 control the influence of preferred areas (if any are defined) higher values increase the influence on routing, strengthening the preference for remaining within the selected layer minimum 1 prioritize more direct routes \[0/1] enabling this toggle instructs the algorithm to prioritize routes that follow direct linear features toward the destination it evaluates how closely features align with the desired direction and biases the route accordingly, reducing unnecessary detours 1 exempt a portion near the endpoints from penalties on paths already taken this value sets a radius, expressed as a percentage of the straight line distance between the start and end points, that is exempt from diversity related penalty calculations within this area, the algorithm can reuse previously found route sections without incurring penalties, allowing more flexibility while still encouraging diversity elsewhere 5 number of results to return specify between 4 and 10 unique results for the algorithm to return at the end of optimization, based on your shortlisting needs 4 start with the docid\ u m3xc 1mi7ywqjjuukwq use case summary, then move on to docid\ lfrskxndb1bp2mta6augq
