7. Emergency Cellular Network Coverage for Highways in Delaware County, NY Abstract This study attempts to determine optimal placement of cellular towers in order to maximize road coverage in Delaware County, NY. This is accomplished through the construction of a 3D Viewshed and subesequent suitability map identifying prime areas for future tower placement. Bert Yagrich Geo 559 4/1/04

8. View Shed Analysis • Highways and towers clipped to study area. • DEM converted to grid in ArcToolbox and a TIN was constructed with 3D Analyst. • Cell towers and highways overlaid in 3D visualization in ArcScene. • Viewshed performed from cell tower location and overlaid on TIN.

9. Suitability Analysis • Elevation, Slope, Proximity to Road were variables chosen. • Grids were created based on these variables and reclassified. • Combined through raster calculations in Spatial Analyst to compute a final suitability analysis.

10. Preliminary Analysis/Validation • Prehistoric – as expected, many high sensitive areas • Historic – gaps in coverage • Ground Disturbance – moderate from agriculture

13. Summary

14. Purpose • The goal of this project is to determine which location is ideal for the Lexington Co-op, a small grocery store located in Buffalo • The choice of location is between two location choices. • The Current Location • A New Larger Location OR Gabriel Schmidbauer Geo559

15. High IncomePopulation • High income was also considered to be a factor in current and potential customers. • Wealthier populations Tended to shop at the Co-op.

16. Detecting Spatial Pattern of Breast Cancer Clusters In Erie and Niagara county, 1993 – 1997. Presented by Gyoungju Lee Geo559 • Study Objective • Detecting spatial clusters of breast cancer in Erie and Niagara county • Testing its statistical significance within GIS framework • Providing further research implications. • Methodology 1. Spatial scan statistic (Kulldorff, 1997) 2. Two models available, depending on study objective and data • Bernoulli model • Poisson model

22. Procedure to Compare Numerical Simulation of Geophysical Flow with Field Data Laércio M. Namikawa Geo559 - Spring2004 Objectives • Develop a quantitative procedure to compare output of a numerical simulation of geophysical flow with fieldwork data. • Geophysical flow challenges for comparison: • Large scale phenomena: • Knowledge of variables is limited. • Low recurrence • Small number of real cases. • Dynamic nature: • Requires analysis of a series of data, each from different time

23. Quantitative Analysis Using Statistics and Spatial DatabaseApproach • Divide area in analysis units; • For each unit, acquire attributes: • Inside or outside flow footprint; • Mean: • Pile height; • Distance to flow center; • Distance to flow outline; • Composed distance (center+outline). • Fit Logistic Regression; • Performance measure: • Slope of Pile Height

24. Logistic Regression sim1 sim2 Dependent variable: InFlow 1: Inside real event flow footprint; 0: Otherwise. Predictors: Pile height; Combined distance: center+outline feb22 feb10

26. Raster Analysis • My opinion – - vector analysis is best for this case - narrows location down better with buffer and clipping

27. Viewshed Analysis • 3 scenic lookouts • Field verify – may be natural or man made elements obstructing view
