There they show that emergency services must be placed according to a response time, since there is a allowable maximum service time for handling emergency activities. Therefore the LSCP model was proprosed whereby _the minimum number of facilities determined and locaten so that every demand area is covered within a predefined maximal service distance or time (Church and Murray, 2018)._ # # **LSCP can be written as:** # # $\begin{array} # \displaystyle \textbf{Minimize} & \displaystyle \sum_{j \in J}{Y_j} && (1) \\ # \displaystyle \textbf{Subject to:} & \displaystyle \sum_{j \in N_i}{Y_j} \geq 1 & \forall i \in I & (2) \\ # & Y_j \in {0,1} & \forall j \in J & (3) # \\ \end{array}$ # # $\begin{array} # \displaystyle \textbf{Where:}\\ & & \displaystyle i & \small = & \textrm{index of demand points/areas/objects in set } I \\ # & & j & \small = & \textrm{index of potential facility sites in set } J \\ # & & S & \small = & \textrm{maximal acceptable service distance or time standard} \\ # & & d_{ij} & \small = & \textrm{shortest distance or travel time between nodes } i \textrm{ and } j \\ # & & N_i & \small = & \{j | d_{ij} < S\} \\ # & & Y_j & \small = & \begin{cases} # 1, \text{if a facility is located at node } j\\ # 0, \text{otherwise} \\ # \end{cases} # \end{array}$ # # _The formulation above is adapted from Church and Murray (2018)._ # # This tutorial generates synthetic demand (clients) and facility sites near a 10x10 lattice representing a gridded urban core. Three LSCP instances are solved while varying parameters: # # * `LSCP.from_cost_matrix()` with network distance as the metric # * `LSCP.from_geodataframe()` with euclidean distance as the metric # * `LSCP.from_geodataframe()` with predefined facility locations and euclidean distance as the metric # In[1]: get_ipython().run_line_magic('config', 'InlineBackend.figure_format = "retina"') get_ipython().run_line_magic('load_ext', 'watermark') get_ipython().run_line_magic('watermark', '') # In[2]: import geopandas import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from matplotlib.patches import Patch import matplotlib.lines as mlines import numpy import pulp import shapely import spopt from spopt.locate import LSCP, simulated_geo_points import warnings with warnings.catch_warnings(): warnings.simplefilter("ignore") # ignore deprecation warning - GH pysal/spaghetti#649 import spaghetti get_ipython().run_line_magic('watermark', '-w') get_ipython().run_line_magic('watermark', '-iv') # Since the model needs a cost matrix (distance, time, etc.) we should define some variables. First we will assign some the number of clients and facility locations, then the maximum service radius, followed by random seeds in order to reproduce the results. Finally, the solver, assigned below as `pulp.COIN_CMD`, is an interface to optimization solver developed by [COIN-OR](https://github.com/coin-or/Cbc). If you want to use another optimization interface, such as Gurobi or CPLEX, see this [guide](https://coin-or.github.io/pulp/guides/how_to_configure_solvers.html) that explains how to achieve this. # In[3]: # quantity demand points CLIENT_COUNT = 100 # quantity supply points FACILITY_COUNT = 10 # maximum service radius (in distance units) SERVICE_RADIUS = 8 # random seeds for reproducibility CLIENT_SEED = 5 FACILITY_SEED = 6 # set the solver solver = pulp.COIN_CMD(msg=False, warmStart=True) # ## Lattice 10x10 # # Create a 10x10 lattice with 9 interior lines, both vertical and horizontal. # In[4]: with warnings.catch_warnings(): warnings.simplefilter("ignore") # ignore deprecation warning - GH pysal/libpysal#468 lattice = spaghetti.regular_lattice((0, 0, 10, 10), 9, exterior=True) ntw = spaghetti.Network(in_data=lattice) # Transform the `spaghetti` instance into a geodataframe. # In[5]: streets = spaghetti.element_as_gdf(ntw, arcs=True) # In[6]: streets_buffered = geopandas.GeoDataFrame( geopandas.GeoSeries(streets["geometry"].buffer(0.5).unary_union), crs=streets.crs, columns=["geometry"], ) # Plotting the network created by `spaghetti` we can verify that it mimics a district with quarters and streets. # In[7]: streets.plot(); # ## Simulate points in a network # # The `simulated_geo_points` function simulates points near a network.

Calculating distances between them without restricting movement to the network results in a euclidean distances,'as the crow flies.' While this is acceptable for some applications, for others it is more realistic to consider network traversal (e.g. Does a mail carrier follow roads to deliver letters or fly from mailbox to mailbox?). # # In our first example we will consider distance along the 10x10 lattice network created above.

This can be explained by the nature of the problem. The problem was configured in a synthetic manner, the streets are created as a 10x10 lattice and the `SERVICE_RADIUS` parameter is 8 (distance units). Owing to the central location of facility $y_3$, all demand points can be reached within that (euclidean) distance. # # ### LSCP with preselected facilities (euclidean distance) # # Finally, let's visualize the results of the LSCP when stipulating that facilities $y_4$ and $y_9$ must be included in the final selection. # In[27]: plot_results( lscp_from_gdf_pre, lscp_from_gdf_pre.problem.objective.value(), facility_points, clis=client_points ) # ----------------------------------- # # ## Comparing solution from varied metrics # In[28]: fig, axarr = plt.subplots(1, 3, figsize=(20, 10)) fig.subplots_adjust(wspace=-0.01) for i, m in enumerate([lscp_from_cm, lscp_from_gdf, lscp_from_gdf_pre]): plot_results( m, m.problem.objective.value(), facility_points, clis=client_points, ax=axarr[i] ) # ## References # # - [Church, R.
