This book, companion to Foundations of Location Analysis (Springer,
2011), highlights some of the applications of location analysis
within the spheres of businesses, those that deal with public
services and applications that deal with law enforcement and first
responders. While the Foundations book reviewed the theory and
first contributions, this book describes how different location
techniques have been used to solve real problems. Since many real
problems comprise multiple objectives, in this book there is more
presence of tools from multicriteria decision making and
multiple-objective optimization. The section on business
applications looks at such problems as locating bank branches, the
potential location of a logistics park, sustainable forest
management and layout problems in a hospital, a much more difficult
type of problem than mere location problems. The section on public
services presents chapters on the design of habitats for wildlife,
control of forest fires, the location of intelligent sensors along
highways for timely emergency response, locating breast cancer
screening centers, an economic analysis for the locations of post
offices and school location. The final section of the book includes
chapters on the well-known problem of locating fire stations, a
model for the location of sensors for travel time information, the
problem of police districting, locations of jails, location of
Coast Guard vessels and finally, a survey of military applications
of location analysis throughout different periods of recent
history.
