How it works
From the COMET cost surface to the priced route — concepts first, then the workflow tab by tab, then reference tables.
Getting started
Concepts
The workflow
- Land Use (Flu)Turn a classified land-cover raster into the land-use cost factor.
- Slope (Fs)Derive a slope raster from a DEM, then turn it into the slope cost factor.
- Crossings (Fci & N)A crossing-cost raster and a per-cell count of crossed infrastructure.
- Corridors (Fc)Reward routing alongside existing corridors, with onshore/offshore handling.
- Aux (helpers)Utilities to prepare data and speed up processing. No cost output.
- LCP (the route)Combine the cost factors into one surface, then trace the least-cost route.
- Price Estimation (CAPEX)Estimate the route's capital cost from the cost rasters and flow parameters.
