road connectors table structure

The Road_Connectors table holds all virtual links necessary to connect the road network to other infrastructure, such as ferry services

To this extent, each road connector must have one extremity (from_node/to_node) set to a node in the network, and the other extremity set to a member (node) if a different table (e.g. transit stop).

Table Structure

Field	Type	NULL allowed	Default Value	Foreign key	Description
road_connector*	INTEGER	NO			Unique identifier of the bidirectional road connector
from_node	INTEGER	NO	0		The node identifier of the “from” node that this link connects to.
to_node	INTEGER	NO	0		The node identifier of the “to” node that this link connects to
length	REAL	NO	0		link length (in meters) - set by POLARIS based on the link geometry
use	TEXT	NO	‘ANY’		If different than ANY, restricts the use of this link to the specified vehicle types
fspd_ab	REAL	YES	0		free flow speed (in m/s) of the unidirectional link from from_node to from_node
fspd_ba	REAL	YES	0		free flow speed (in m/s) of the unidirectional link from to_node to from_node
purpose	TEXT	NO	0		The reason for the existence of this link (e.g. ferry_access)
geo	LINESTRING	NO	‘’
