Abstract

When choosing locations for certain organizations in the city, the most advantageous sites need to be found by taking into account the specifics of the business and the need to achieve greater customer coverage. One of the ways to choose such a location is to analyze isochrone maps, i.e. maps of isolines showing the places that can be reached within the specified time. The existing methods of creating such maps have some disadvantages: open cartographic data on pedestrian paths are incomplete for some areas; desire paths are not considered when creating an isochrone map because these are not marked on maps. In this paper we propose a method and a tool for creating an isochrone map, which is built upon agent-based modeling. This isochrone map combined with agent-based modeling considers behavioral characteristics of pedestrian traffic and shows higher accuracy and reliability of the results compared to classical methods of isochrone map creation.
