Open-Source Approaches for Location Coverage Modelling
Location cover models aim to site one or more facilities in order to provide service to demand in an efficient way. These models are based on economic and location theory. They figure prominently in public and private sector planning, management, and decision-making. Because of broad application and extension, these models have been implemented in several geographic information system-based software packages, both proprietary and open source. Among them, open-source implementations are appealing to many because of transparency and cost-effectiveness. As usage among such approaches increases, important questions of optimality and efficiency arise, and heretofore have not been investigated. In general, there is a lack of systematic review of open-source software that supports location coverage modelling. To examine the implications of open-source approaches, a comparative assessment of the functionality provided by open-source packages enabling access to location cover models is provided. This study also suggests directions for future implementation improvement.
