Hi Everybody,
I have a similar problem too. I have to determine the best location of stations along a national road network taking into account intersections (as best location) and maximal distance between my stations.
In brief, what I need to do is create points features on my roads network (polylines), at intersections, every XX km.
Now, looking at your thread I understand that a good (?) way to do this would be to:
1. Creates points at my intersections (using network analysis?) and
2. Then use these points to run the location-allocation tool
Ideally, and if possible, I would like to build a model that allows me to determine the points (stations) automatically (as it is at a national scale and that the parameters are likely to change).
Is this a good method or would you recommend something different? Also, Is it possible to obtain the same resutle without the mentionned extention? My current licence does not allow me to use these tools...
Many thanks in advance!
