Presentation Details

This presentation will guide the audience through the steps of generating catchment areas from a road network. In this specific project, catchment areas for health care centers are calculated. The centers are presented as points and the catchment areas are delimited with county borders. The method uses the NetworkCostCalculator to calculate closest route in the network and then the VoronoiDiagrammer is used to generate areas. This analysis was made to make it possible to decide which health care center each resident in the county belongs to.
