Herramientas para localizar infraestructura crítica

AntGiles

<\/HEAD>

Dado un conjunto de datos de características de un país que incluye capas que cubren la infraestructura del país (como redes de gas y electricidad, carreteras, ferrocarriles, etc...) y datos de Landscan que detallan la población, ¿alguien conoce alguna herramienta o técnica que se pueda usar para determinar nodos de infraestructura crítica (es decir, aquellos nodos que afectarían a la mayor población si se desconectaran)?<\/P>

Estoy investigando esto como parte de la preparación para la respuesta ante desastres.<\/P>

<\/P>

Gracias<\/P>

Hi Anthony,

More than providing a straight answer, I have an idea as to a process that may help you find an answer. What you're really asking for is a measure of centrality. There are many different ways to quantify aspects of centrality. Here is a quick primer on some of the more common measures and the math behind them. Perhaps this will give you a place to start. I am a criminologist/consulting detective. I use these measures to determine who in a network of criminals is more important to the overall functioning of their group. There's an incredible Excel template called NodeXL that might help you.

I know all this is pretty roundabout, but maybe it will spur your thinking.

Best,

Matthew
