Selection Criteria for Urban Zoning in a Distributed Service Network : A Modelling and Prediction
Keywords:
Distributed Service Network, Sub-Network, Contiguity & Zoning.Abstract
The phrase "distributed service network" refers to a broad range of activities, including resource distribution across facilities in different locations and resource flow along a distributed system. Distributed service network policy-making issues can be categorised into a variety of hierarchy levels with clarity. The problem's time horizon, the expense of implementing a solution & political ramification of “that solution serve as distinguishing factors amongst the levels”. It covers ambulances, police, fire, & other services in public sector, In the private sector, distributed service networks include things like couriers, cabs, repair, and maintenance. A mathematical model to divide a network into sub-networks in a dispersed network infrastructure has been sought for and attempted in this paper. For zoning, restrictions such as need, compactness, equity, contiguity, enclaves, etc. are in effect.
