MI-L How to create automatically a transport network?
Dear all I would like to create a transportation network consisting of three tables. One table has 50'000 point records the other has 500'000 polyline records. A third table has the timetable and the route description of the buslines. First I have to cut the polyline wherever a point intersects it. Second I would like to use a function which might follow the route description of a busline and automatically picks the line from that polyline layer. For example busline 20 starts at the bus station 1, goes over to the 6 and ends at 20. When all those lines are extracted between two bus stations then I have to combine them. Which software, function or add-on could extract the appropriate polyline as described in the route description? Would there be any hint? Thank you for your help.

MI-L Generalization
Dear all Does someone know a tool or a way in which MI would allow me to simplify a network? MapInfo describes it as: The process of simplifying a data set to a size which can be easily manipulated and represented. For example, a river may have many twists and turns; however, if a map covers a very large area, the river may be represented as a straight line. Similarly, in a map of a very large area, a city might be represented as a point marker. I have to generalize the rail network for illustrations. Which function in MI should I use?
