NETWORK STRUCTURES IN ELABORATION OF UNIFORMED SERVICES INTERVENTION MAPS
Abstract
Network methods were used for the first time to plan and control maintenance works on a chemical apparatus installation in the United States in 1956. These were simple methods improving project management. The development of the network structures would not have been possible without the technological progress which has been taking place over the last half a century. Complicated networks can be programmed during a short period of time thanks to high computing power. Network models can be currently used for the simulation of intervention area operation by the units of the police, fire department, or other uniformed services. In such a model, a system of roads is nothing else than an enormous graph in which the crossroads are nodes, and road sections are its edges. A network programmed in this way may be analysed in many aspects, using different algorithms. The article covers information concerning network structures. Intervention maps were created by means of Dijkstra's algorithm, which is used for finding the shortest way in a graph with nonnegative values. GIS-type software was used in cartographic presentation. Software of this type is perfect for presenting changes happening in space.
