Road Network Distance Tables

Distance travelled in the SHS Travel Diary is usually measured by the straight line distance between two locations. The following tables calculate the distance travelled between the two points along the road network, and are presented here as data under development. We would invite feedback on the use of these measures at the following link: bit.ly/TATIS2014-Consult
