Split an area based on points number
I m trying to figure out a way to split an area in two (or more) parts, based on the number of points (in my case coordinates). The difficult part is that the two areas boundary must be a road (not predefined) and not just a straight line.
Is there a way to do this using ArcGis 10.4.1?
It is for a major postal service, there are routes assigned to certain clusters but some days when there are too many deliveries in a certain cluster, we have to create subroutes. We create the subroutes by running a vrp solution and then split in half the created route. But this solution creates some overlapping issues, as shown in the following picture.
So we are trying to find out a better solution to do that.
Thank you for your reply, there is a routine that we use. It works as follows; if it detects that the area has more than 400 deliveries the VRP solver uses roads centroids, representing the multiple orders along each road network segment. Then it splits the route in half and produces 2 subroutes. We have tried adding more constraints on the VRP to create smaller routes but it doesnt seem to effectively split the subroutes(i.e picture below)
