Network analysis in GIS: From routing to operational decision-making
Blog post from Felt
Network analysis in GIS is a crucial tool for understanding movement and access across connected systems by using spatial data to model paths that people and vehicles can follow, rather than just measuring straight-line distances. It involves analyzing networks through nodes, edges, topology, and cost factors to make informed decisions about routes, service areas, facility accessibility, and optimal locations for services and resources. This analysis is applied in various fields such as transportation planning, bike and pedestrian networks, emergency response, public services, and utilities, offering insights into connectivity and highlighting areas for improvement. Felt, a GIS platform, enhances these capabilities by transforming static analysis outputs into live, collaborative maps that integrate diverse data sources, allowing for real-time, enterprise-level decision-making and simplifying the analysis process with AI-driven spatial queries and seamless integration with major cloud storage solutions.
