Radio plan coverage contours
{{DISPLAYTITLE:Coverage Contours}}


The Radio Coverage Contour Generator produces polygonal representations of coverage areas for a specified signal level threshold.  It supports generating contours for:


Radio plan coverage contours can be calculated and shown in map as polygons.  
* '''Individual radios''' - The coverage area for each radio is used as input for generation of polygons
* '''Combined radios''' - The coverage areas for several radios are first combined and then used as input for generation of a polygon. This can be used to create a coverage polygon for a RadioNet by selecting all radios in the RadioNet.  


The polygon lines will be drawn at a specified level for estimated received signal level for the radios currently selected.
The workflow is the same in both cases.
 
 
Using a marching squares algorithm, the system converts rasterized coverage data into vector polygons that clearly define:
 
* Areas '''with coverage'''
* Areas '''without coverage'''
 
The polygon lines are drawn at a specified received signal level threshold for the coverage for the cells selected for the contour.

The Radio Coverage Contour Generator produces polygonal representations of coverage areas for a specified signal level threshold. It supports generating contours for:

  • Individual radios - The coverage area for each radio is used as input for generation of polygons
  • Combined radios - The coverage areas for several radios are first combined and then used as input for generation of a polygon. This can be used to create a coverage polygon for a RadioNet by selecting all radios in the RadioNet.

The workflow is the same in both cases.


Using a marching squares algorithm, the system converts rasterized coverage data into vector polygons that clearly define:

  • Areas with coverage
  • Areas without coverage

The polygon lines are drawn at a specified received signal level threshold for the coverage for the cells selected for the contour.

Coverage Contours for a VHF RadioNet

Settings

Property Type Description
Threshold Decibel Defines the signal strength cutoff for what is considered “coverage.”
Simplify bool Toggles simplification that controls how detailed the polygon shapes are.
SimplificationTolerance double Polygon point tolerance used for simplification. Controls how detailed the polygon shapes are.
MinPolygonAreaWithCoverage double Minimum size for coverage areas

Note: Size is currently based on grid/pixel resolution.

MinPolygonAreaWithNoCoverage double Minimum size for no coverage areas

Note: Size is currently based on grid/pixel resolution.

Fill bool Setting for enabling fill color on the polygons
NoCoverageColor Color Display color for no coverage
LineThickness double Line thickness for the rendered polygons

Working with Coverage Contours (API)

The API lets you generate, access, and manage coverage polygons for both:

  • Individual radios
  • Combined radios (combined coverage)

The workflow is the same in both cases.

General contour functions:

  • Refresh All Coverage - Used when underlying radio or raidio net data changes
  • Clear All Coverage - Resets the system completely

Calculating and handling contour lines are controlled via the interface IMariaRadioPlanLayer.IRadioPlanCoverageContours.
