(7) “Direction of travel”: Choose the direction of movement considered for the patients, either "From facilities" or "Towards facilities". This choice is only visible when an anisotropic mode has been chosen, because the direction of travel can influence the time of travel. To do the exercise, choose "Towards facilities".

(9) “Maximum travel time (minutes)": Specify the maximum travel time (in minutes) after which the analysis stops. For the exercise, specify 120 minutes. Specify “0” in this field if you want to compute travel time for the full extent of the study area, i.e. with no limit of travel time.

Starting with version 5.2.4 of AccessMod, travel times are only given in integer numbers of minutes in all output with travel times (raster and tables). This was done to minimize the size of travel time raster files. If you specify "0" for the "maximum travel time", the maximum travel times that can be computed is actually 32'767 minutes (i.e. 22 days, 18 hours and 7 minutes), which should cover the countries in the vast majority of cases. If output travel times exceed this limit, the corresponding cell values in the output travel time raster will be encoded with |

(10) “Add short tags”: Give short tags to be attached to the different outputs of the analysis. We will use "accessibility 120" for the present exercise.
