Network and Land Use Data for "Indiana Interurban Networks"

Abstract

This dataset contains the network and land use data for our Indiana Interurban study published as Chapter five "Indiana Interurban Networks" in the book titled "Evolving Transportation Networks" (published by Springer in 2011). The first tab contains a list of stations included in our model and their x/y coordinates. The second has a list of links with their start and end nodes (Station IDs), their open/close years, and Operator ID. The third documents a list of Operators and their IDs. The fourth has a list of counties in Indiana, the x/y coordinates of their centroids, and historical population data from 1897 to 1941. Historical data are only available by decade at the county level, and we calculated years in between by interpolation. the last tab has a list of tracts, the x/y of their centroids, and historical population data from 1897 to 1941 (tract population is approximated assuming population in a county is evenly distributed within county boundary).
