12 Application example: vector-based optimization of operation areas

A short training concerning the network module v.net.alloc is respresentatively introduced in this chapter for the new vector features.

Starting from defined points (hospitals) those regions are supposed to be determined, which have to be achievable as quickly as possible for the respective first-aid staff in an emergency situation. Thus, it is basically possible to assign different direction-referred influencing factors (speed, road condition, one-way streets...) to the individual vectors and nodes (roads and crossroads). The application is restricted to an analysis by means of the distance that is to be travelled for this introducing example.
