Module 11: Network Analysis & Geocoding

Network analysis is the process of evaluating the interconnectedness of a system of edges and junctions.  It can be used to solve complex problems involving optimal routes or feature placement.  This week we matched addresses to a network in Lake City and mapped an emergency vehicle route in Lake County, FL (see above).  The map shows all the EMS locations in the county with one route highlighted.  By using a network analysis, this optimal route was determined following realistic traffic laws and mileage.  This is one situation in which network analysis can be applied.
