Network Analysis Using Geographical Information System

Abstract

Network analysis aids in determining the best areas to offer services. Hospitals and a road in the Kolhapur city region were chosen for network analysis in the current study. To better the flow of people, products, services, and resources, an analysis of complex road networks is necessary. This study focused on finding the best route between two or even more places based on a specified travel expense to illustrate the application of network analysis. The quickest or shortest route between certain places is found using Geographic Information System (GIS) software. To create a road network database and an ideal route, the attribute data of the road network is gathered. An ideal route is designed that shows the overall cost of the trip in both meters and minutes. The directions for using that route are part of the analysis's conclusion.
