The purpose of this research is to develop algorithms for mapping terrain characteristics from a 100 meter grid representation to arcs and nodes of a transportation network. The algorithms capture elevation and trafficability parameters as they relate to both the arc itself and to the off-arc characteristics. These network, parameters are directly usable in appropriate optimization algorithms to determine minimum travel time path and minimum distance path through the network for a variety of maneuver unit types and missions.
