While in the private sector inefficiency often leads to higher prices, loss of competitiveness, and loss of business, in the public sector inefficiency in service provision does not necessarily lead to immediate changes. In many cases, it is not an entirely easy task to analyze a particular service as appropriate data may be difficult to obtain and hidden in detailed budgets. In this paper, we develop an integrative approach that uses cyber search, Geographic Information System (GIS), and spatial optimization to estimate the spatial efficiency of fire protection services in Los Angeles (LA) County. We develop a cyber-search process to identify current deployment patterns of fire stations across the major urban region of LA County. We compare the results of our search to existing databases. Using spatial optimization, we estimate the level of deployment that is needed to meet desired coverage levels based upon the location of an ideal fire station pattern, and then compare this ideal level of deployment to the existing system as a means of estimating spatial efficiency. GIS is adopted throughout the paper to simulate the demand locations, to conduct location-based spatial analysis, to visualize fire station data, and to map model simulation results. Finally, we show that the existing system in LA County has considerable room for improvement. The methodology presented in this paper is both novel and groundbreaking, and the automated assessments are readily transferable to other counties and jurisdictions.

A parallel algorithm for coverage optimization on multi-core architectures / Ran Wei in International journal of geographical information science IJGIS, vol 30 n° 3-4 (March - April 2016)  

Public [article]  inInternational journal of geographical information science IJGIS > vol 30 n° 3-4 (March - April 2016) . - pp 432 - 450 Titre : A parallel algorithm for coverage optimization on multi-core architectures Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Ran Wei, Auteur ; Alan T.

Decision-making and planning contexts include police/fire resource allocation for a community, siting cellular towers to support cell phone signal transmission, locating emergency warning sirens to alert the public of severe weather and other related dangers, and many others as well. When facilities can be sited anywhere in continuous space to provide coverage to an entire region, this is a very computationally challenging problem to solve because potential demand for service is everywhere and there are an infinite number of potential facility sites to consider. This article develops a new parallel solution approach for this location coverage optimization problem through an iterative bounding scheme on multi-core architectures. The developed approach is applied to site emergency warning sirens in Dublin, Ohio, and fire stations in Elk Grove, California. Results demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed approach, enabling real-time analysis and planning. This work illustrates that the integration of cyberinfrastructure can significantly improve computational efficiency in solving challenging spatial optimization problems, fitting the themes of this special issue: cyberinfrastructure, GIS, and spatial optimization.

Fusion of multi-scale DEMs using a regularized super-resolution method / Linwei Yue in International journal of geographical information science IJGIS, vol 29 n° 12 (December 2015)  

Public [article]  inInternational journal of geographical information science IJGIS > vol 29 n° 12 (December 2015) . - pp 2095 - 2120 Titre : Fusion of multi-scale DEMs using a regularized super-resolution method Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Linwei Yue, Auteur ; Huanfeng Shen, Auteur ; Qiangqiang Yuan, Auteur ; Liangpei Zhang, Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : pp 2095 - 2120 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications photogrammétriques [Termes descripteurs IGN] couverture (données géographiques) [Termes descripteurs IGN] données multisources [Termes descripteurs IGN] modèle numérique de terrain [Termes descripteurs IGN] représentation multiple Résumé : (Auteur) The digital elevation model (DEM) is a significant digital representation of a terrain surface. Although a variety of DEM products are available, they often suffer from problems varying in spatial coverage, data resolution, and accuracy. However, the multi-source DEMs often contain supplementary information, which makes it possible to produce a higher-quality DEM through blending the multi-scale data. Inspired by super-resolution (SR) methods, we propose a regularized framework for the production of high-resolution (HR) DEM data with extended coverage. To deal with the registration error and the horizontal displacement among multi-scale measurements, robust data fidelity with weighted norm is employed to measure the conformance of the reconstructed HR data to the observed data. Furthermore, a slope-based Markov random field (MRF) regularization is used as the spatial regularization. The proposed method can simultaneously handle complex terrain features, noises, and data voids. Using the proposed method, we can reconstruct a seamless DEM data with the highest resolution among the input data, and an extensive spatial coverage. The experiments confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed method under different cases.

Search engine queries of web documents were used to gather counts for phrases in four different languages. The study focused on selected populated places and tourist attractions in Switzerland from three gazetteer datasets: topographic gazetteer data from the Swiss national mapping agency (SwissTopo); POI data from a commercial data provider (Tele Atlas) and user generated geographic content (geonames.org). The web counts illustrate the geographic extent and trends of web coverage of tourism for different languages. Results show that coverage for local languages, i.e. German, French and Italian, is more strongly related to the region of the spoken language. Correlation of the web counts to typical tourism indicators, e.g. population and number of hotel nights rented per year, are also computed and compared.
