Achieving Least Relocation of Existing Facilities in Spatial Optimisation: A Bi-Objective Model (Short Paper)

Authors: Huanfa Chen and Rongbo Xu

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 277, 12th International Conference on Geographic Information Science (GIScience 2023)

Abstract
Spatial optimisation models have been widely used to support locational decision making of public service systems (e.g. hospitals, fire stations), such as selecting the optimal locations to maximise the coverage. These service systems are generally the product of long-term evolution, and there usually are existing facilities in the system. These existing facilities should not be neglected or relocated without careful consideration as they have financial or management implications. However, spatial optimisation models that account for the relocation or maintenance of existing facilities are understudied. In this study, we revisit a planning scenario where two objectives are adopted, including the minimum number of sites selected and the least relocation of existing facilities. We propose and discuss three different approaches that can achieve these two objectives. This model and the three approaches are applied to two case studies of optimising the retail stores in San Francisco and the large-scale COVID-19 vaccination network in England. The implications of this model and the efficiency of these approaches are discussed.

Uncertainty Quantification in the Road-Level Traffic Risk Prediction by Spatial-Temporal Zero-Inflated Negative Binomial Graph Neural Network(STZINB-GNN) (Short Paper)

Authors: Xiaowei Gao, James Haworth, Dingyi Zhuang, Huanfa Chen, and Xinke Jiang

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 277, 12th International Conference on Geographic Information Science (GIScience 2023)

Abstract
Urban road-based risk prediction is a crucial yet challenging aspect of research in transportation safety. While most existing studies emphasize accurate prediction, they often overlook the importance of model uncertainty. In this paper, we introduce a novel Spatial-Temporal Zero-Inflated Negative Binomial Graph Neural Network (STZINB-GNN) for road-level traffic risk prediction, with a focus on uncertainty quantification. Our case study, conducted in the Lambeth borough of London, UK, demonstrates the superior performance of our approach in comparison to existing methods. Although the negative binomial distribution may not be the most suitable choice for handling real, non-binary risk levels, our work lays a solid foundation for future research exploring alternative distribution models or techniques. Ultimately, the STZINB-GNN contributes to enhanced transportation safety and data-driven decision-making in urban planning by providing a more accurate and reliable framework for road-level traffic risk prediction and uncertainty quantification.
