INTERACTIVE NETWORK EDIT AND DISPLAY PROGRAM FOR THE APPLE II PERSONAL COMPUTER

An interactive network edit and display program (NED), a key module in a set of programs for training transportation planners, is described. This interactive graphics program for the construction and display of highway network models acts like an electronic blackboard on which links can be drawn and their attribute values written. The NED program is written for the Apple II personal computer in UCSD Pascal, and its hardware requirements are minimal: a television set, the language card, and at least one 5.25-in. disk drive. In spite of the limited speed and capacity of the Apple, the capabilities and productivity of NED rival those of similar programs on much larger computers. The major shortcoming of the program is that it can process only small networks of the scale used for training or sketch planning.
