So far, we have only looked at the shortest path between all the given segments of road in the city. Now, given the student location, let's look at where student traffic will accumulate.
By following these steps, we will join attributes from the closest road segment—including the associated topological and travel attributes—to each student location. Perform the following steps:
Install the NNJoin plugin.
