Maptitude and Transportation: The Daily Commute

Maps help to visualize access to a suitable workforce, which is a significant location factor for businesses. The length of the drive to and from work is an equally important factor for employees, especially with volatile gas prices.

Maptitude 2014 allows you to map these differences in travel time to work, average travel time, number of vehicles per household, and mode of transportation. These figures can also be compared to population density, age distribution, income, education, family size, and more.

The Maptitude 2014 USA Country Package includes a wealth of new data such as buying power/disposable income, health insurance coverage, FFIEC banking compliance data, aggregate/median income by race, and projections for 2015 and 2020 (more...). Upgrade to Maptitude 2014 now to access the latest demographics.

Tech Tip:Tech Tip
Choosing Demographics When Performing Ring Analysis

Caliper Corporation leads the industry in the proDrive Time Report with User Specified Aggregation Fieldscessing and release of Census data. Since 1995 Maptitude mapping software has made it easy to access a wealth of Census data for entire countries. You can quickly visualize Census demographics using a suite of wizard-driven tools. Maptitude also provides a map library that contains numerous pre-designed maps listed by Census category. These include heat maps of demographic, income, and housing data. The Map Librarian lets you open one or more of these maps for a chosen location, allowing you to quickly analyze Census data for your area of interest.  

Unlike many other mapping and GIS software packages that require users to purchase data separately, Maptitude includes demographics so you can start mapping straight away. In addition to Census sources, Maptitude includes extensive non-Census information. These data, such as Caliper's proprietary purchasing power estimates, are among the most accurate available from any source and significantly more reliable than U.S. Census data. The included data alone are worth many multiples of the software's purchase price.   

Maptitude allows you to visualize and present this information in ways useful to your organization. The following steps illustrate how to choose the fields shown in a demographic report for time and distance rings:

  1. Choose File-New and use Create-a-Map Wizard to create a general purpose map for your area of interest.

  2. Choose Tools-Routing-Network Bands or click Network Bands Button to display the Network Bands toolbox.

  3. Click Click Origin Points Button in the Network Bands toolbox to activate the Click Origin Points tool.

  4. Click on on the map. Maptitude places symbols at each of the clicked points.

  5. In the Network Bands toolbox choose to create, for example, 3 bands of 5 minutes.

  6. Click Settings Button in the Network Bands Toolbox to display the Network Bands Configuration dialog box and click Aggregation.

  7. Change the aggregation methods for those fields you want to be shown in the report as follows:
    Click on the field in the Fields list; check one or more desired aggregation options; and type a name for each field in the Field Name box. (TIP: You can highlight more than one field at a time and then check a box to apply the aggregation method to all of the fields at once.)

  8. When you are finished making changes in the Overlay Attributes dialog box, click OK to close the Overlay Attributes dialog box, and click OK again to close the Network Bands Configuration dialog box.

  9. Click Create Network Bands Button in the Network Bands toolbox. Maptitude creates the bands and adds them to the map along with a color theme to illustrate the driving distances. Any portion of the map that is not covered by a band is greater than the travel-time you chose from the clicked locations.

  10. To create a report with the map and demographics, click Network Bands Report Button in the Network Bands Toolbox. Maptitude generates the report and displays it in a new window. The report includes the demographic fields you specified for aggregating.

 You can customize a report with your company name by choosing Edit-Preferences and making changes on the Reporting tab. Reports can be printed, saved, exported, and emailed. To export your results you can choose File-Export Document from the Report window menu to export your report for use outside of Maptitude.
