The Dft have basically said it's imminent so keep checking. It will be released here first.

Another workaround, you can go into the Access DB and delete all the records in the Contour table apart from the contour you require. However if you want to revert to any of your older contours you will need to re-create them in Accession.

I too am having issues with exporting contours from Accession, i have produced three set of results, the first two manage to export without issue. The third however keeps reverting back to the drivetime contour. I have tried deleting the old map layers and also changing the name but none of this has worked. Did anyone find a definative way to do this?

Lots of old software (like Accession) can't handle the new accdb files, would be good if this changed as the new files are much smaller and bloat a lot less.....

Would there be ability to run two different types of calculation for DRT? One for a rural area and one for an urban area? I quite like the idea proposed by admin and as Hazel says, its a lot better than the existing model (when it worked)

The last suggestion would be an enormous improvement on what is available now, but I'm not sure that, as described, it would work effectively where pick up areas are extended. Whilst it would be possible to subset the area and repeat runs several times, would this allow for the potential variation in journey times that occur when users can be scattered through a large rural hinterland?

Haven't come across a GML file before, only seldom use the GZ files to be honest, but never had any issues with loading them in.
Thanks,

Rowley,



Ok great, just had confirmation back from OS that the schema has not changed at all. Do you think it's easier loading the GZ compressed file or do you think it would be easier to load in the raw GML file?

Just realised the .gz file is still there so not actually a problem.

Hello,

I have an issue with new Mastermap ITN Data, do you know how to import the new 'layer' format Mastermap data into Accession, as ITN now has 15 separate components. Previously, it was just a .gz file I believe but now it appears as multiple sections.

Thanks,

Rowley

Transference of Accession to outside the UK

Ah, that would have helped a little - although still had to manipulate the transit txt file into the seperate Access components used by Accession (pt stops, pt services etc).

From what I remember (I did this about two years ago, stopping and starting with 'paid' work interupting me) it took me around a week to take the transit data, manipulate into seperate Access tables and then rejoin the relationships. Overall, the project took around approximatley 4 weeks start to finish (roughly) - the original paper had more work as I also did a 'local' calculation.

Cheers

Keith,

For future reference you can get different co-ordinate system files for America or you can edit the original. This can be done in the Accession folder, try double-clicking the British file.

How long did the total process take from start to finish to create your accessibility maps including the conversion of the data?

Hi Dan

Glad you found it of interest!

It was a toil getting the PT data in for the area in question (better than recoding the entire thing though)...I had to manipulate the text file into the right components (as per an Accession database), overwrite and then reconnect the Access database using the relationships set up by Accession (it took a long time to figure out and do!). And then I had to reproject to BNG due to the coordinate system in Accession...when I say toil it was actually fun :-)

Would be good to get some work outside the UK, perhaps one day...

Hi Keith,

This is fascinating, I actually did a presentation on Accession to some American clients on behalf of Citilabs, they were extremely keen on the software, though it all fell apart when it came to using their Google Transit Data. I think once this data can be imported then Accession will truly be a global tool.

On a separate note, during my time working with Accession we have sold licences to Australia, South Africa and the Republic of Ireland. The consultants who have used the software in these countries built the public transport network from scratch which as you can imagine was a pain staking experience for them.

Hello

Something I did back in 2009, revised in 2010 and forgot about. May not be of interest but I was trying to work out if Accession could be used outside of the UK and the finding of this work was a positive.

Note: due to file size limits this is compressed heavily, happy to send full resolution copies.

Cheers,
Keith
