The purpose of this network route analysis was to optimize the operational driving time and distance for Bureau of Land Management (BLM) employees in the Fillmore office who need to conduct site visits to 10 different locations in the west desert. To achieve this, a systematic approach was employed to identify a set of optimal points.
Initially, 1000 points were designated within an area of interest. Subsequently, a process of elimination was applied to ensure that each point was at least 100 meters away from a road, but no more than 500 meters away. Additionally, a half-kilometer buffer was added around city boundaries to exclude points that were too close to urban areas, and only points that fell on BLM land were selected.
From the remaining points, a subselection process was used to narrow down the list to the final 10 points. These points were chosen based on their suitability for site visits by BLM employees in the Fillmore office, taking into account factors such as distance, accessibility, and land ownership.
