I would suggest that you compute the distances between your ambulances and service points within some response distance, say 3 miles and then sum up the distances per ambulance site. Now you can rank them from low to high. Sites with lowest sum have the maximum accessability to service sites.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Regards,</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Jay Sandhu</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 15 Feb 2011 14:18:30 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-network-analyst-questions/straight-line-distance-question/m-p/640416#M6123 JaySandhu 2011-02-15T14:18:30Z Re: Straight Line Distance Question https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-network-analyst-questions/straight-line-distance-question/m-p/640417#M6124 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Melissa,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>If you email me, I have a word document that my be helpful to you.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Barry</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 03 Mar 2011 14:31:44 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-network-analyst-questions/straight-line-distance-question/m-p/640417#M6124 BarryDurand 2011-03-03T14:31:44Z
