Location Allocation Analysis: Maximizing Coverage

Analyse av stedstildeling: Maksimering av dekning

Fire Stations Analysis

Project Overview

This project investigates how fire stations in Trondheim can optimize their coverage within a 6-minute driving time cutoff. The goal is to increase the overall percentage of the population served by existing facilities and propose a new fire station location to reach at least 80% coverage.

Using a location-allocation model in ArcGIS Pro, the population points within a 6-minute drive of the current four fire stations are identified. Then six candidate sites tested to find the single best addition that maximizes coverage, raising overall coverage from about 70% to nearly 80%. Then the model identify the best candidate to achieve maximum coverage within a maximum response time of 6 minutes. The result is shown in the above map.
