Split routes into new and existing fiber

[RichThomasUniti]

Background

In fiber optic network design, using existing fiber is much less costly than building new fiber routes. The costing team, that uses the output from this design tool as their input, needs to know the mileage of new vs. existing fiber in the design.

Development

The resulting routes from using a multimodal network dataset (roads+fiber) should be split into segments that traversed the roads for new fiber construction ("new") and existing fiber network ("existing") portions of the network dataset. Thus the Cleaned_Routes output table should have a column labeled "Status" having attributes of either new or existing. @joelherr

link to Issue #9 This could have been in the same issue, but it would have been too long, so I created a 2nd.

Tested in single RFP (SingleRFPAnalysis.py) and multiple RFP (eRate RFP Analysis.py) tools, and the resulting routes are segmented properly and no duplicate segments exist. However, the quirky problem still exists where the visibility of some routes goes away and they are not selectable. Could be a ArcMap bug, because I don't think it's an problem with the code. I will open a new issue ( Issue #13 ) for this.

We need too add a field (parameter?) to ND for use for splitting routes between new/existing.

I added a parameter to the latest network dataset named 'Fiber' which is 0 or 1 and I'd like you to use to it to determine which parts of the routes are existing fiber. I uploases a zip to the Nvision FTP with MSRT_Multimodal_Tuscaloosa.gdb/Multimodal2/Multimodal2_ND
