… an overhanging tree is inferred to sever a road) will be heavily penalized by the APLS metric, so ensuring that roads are properly connected is crucial for a high score. There are additional subtleties to calculating the APLS metric for complex proposals (e.g., if pro…
…ess centrality, or the number of times a node appears along the shortest paths between other nodes. Missing nodes of high centrality will be penalized much more heavily by the APLS metric than missing nodes of low centrality. This feature is intentional, as heavily trafficked intersections are much more important than cul-d…
