Finding an optimal path with hospital information system using GIS-based Network analysis
Authors: ,
Abstract: In the midst of the viral outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the foremost important thing for every person is to have information about the health care facilities in their nearby locations. Along with it is also important to know the accurate route information to reach the health care unit. Especially in a country like India, with a high population rate, the transport network becomes complicated and massive. As the Indian government has started the process of unlocking in most parts of India, which is likely to increase the complication of finding the proper route to visit unfamiliar parts of the metropolis. In the pandemic situation, it becomes even important for the person to locate the specialized hospital and obtain its shortest path to reach in a minimum time period. This paper addresses the problem by evaluating the shortest path facility for finding the nearest emergency location from a defined user’s location. The study uses a GIS-based map and Dijkstra’s algorithm to identify the shortest route.
