Linear Programming and Applications in Examining Wasteful Commuting and Allocating Healthcare Providers

A KNIME-based case study applied the linear programming(LP) method to examine the issue of wasteful commuting in Columbus, Ohio; an example of allocating healthcare providers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana to illustrate the implementation of a location-allocation problem. The case study comes from the book, Quantitative Methods and Socioeconomic Applications in GIS, Fahui Wang, 2nd edition.

一项基于KNIME的案例研究采用线性规划（linear programming，LP）方法，针对美国俄亥俄州哥伦布市的无效通勤问题展开探析；同时以路易斯安那州巴吞鲁日市的医疗服务人员配置场景为例，阐明选址-分配问题的落地实现流程。本案例研究源自王发慧所著的《地理信息系统中的定量方法与社会经济应用》第二版。
