Destinationspunkter

Destinationspunkter is a Swedish term used to describe points that serve as destinations or endpoints in various technical contexts, such as surveying, mapping, transportation planning, and geographic information systems (GIS). The plural form refers to multiple such points.

In surveying and geodesy, destinationspunkter are fixed coordinates that define the end points of measurement lines, control networks, or traverses. They are typically specified with geographic coordinates and sometimes height, and they are used to determine distances, bearings, and network adjustments. In this context the term is often contrasted with starting points or origin points.

In transportation planning and routing, destinationspunkter designate the final stops or destinations within a route or itinerary. They can be used for origin-destination analysis, timetable design, and service-area studies, helping to model travel demand and optimize schedules.

In GIS and network analysis, destinationspunkter may denote endpoints of line features or target locations used in routing, accessibility, or service-area computations. They provide reference points for calculating travel costs, potential coverage, or reach within a given geographic area.

The concept is largely contextual and the precise meaning can vary by discipline or institution. Key common elements are that a destinationspunkt represents a defined, shareable endpoint used to organize measurements, analyses, or planning efforts, and that its accuracy and stability depend on the underlying data and coordinate system used.
