This week we finished up our project on Network Analysis and were asked to share a couple of the maps we created. I chose a couple of gray scale maps that were created for use by supply route drivers during a hurricane. Each route was created last week using data that had been prepared the previous week. I can see a lot of applications for network analysis. Any industry that travels from point A to point B can utilize this tool. The use of restrictions allows for routing around obstacles like road blocks or flood zones. Both map depict a multi-turn route from the armory to the selected shelter. Orientation of the map and eye flow of the directions are important things to keep in mind. You don't want your driver to be scanning the page looking for his or her next turn.
