Three Times a Week: Mapping the Transportation of Dialysis Patients Dayton, Ohio Langdon Sanders GIS Technician City of Kettering, OH AmbreenHasan Research Analyst Lakeland Community College 2013 Ohio GIS Conference September 11 - 13, 2013 | Columbus Marriott Northwest | Dublin, Ohio
Three Times a Week: Mapping the Transportation of Dialysis Patients in the Greater Dayton Area Ambreen Hasan and Langdon Sanders Sponsored by Ohio GIS Conference, Sept. 13, 2013
Purpose • Examine current transportation system for dialysis patients in Montgomery, Miami & Greene co. • Inform Transit, Medical, and Public communities • Identify Target Areas, Issues & Challenges Towards Improving Service, Reducing Cost
Research Questions • Where are the patients? • “Hot Spots” and rideshare possibilities • How do they travel to dialysis? • Field Observation, Patient Survey • Are they going to the closest center?
Where are the Patients? Geocoded points by transit provider
Where are the ‘hotspots’? Created a density surface using Spatial Analyst Notes: • We used kernel density • Pick a search radius • play with results • Cell size det. ‘smoothness’ • Lowest color empty
Accessibility to Personal Transport Areas with high percentages of households without a vehicle
Accessibility to Public Transport Density of Patients & Public Bus Routes
Travel Efficiency: Closest Dialysis? • Geocoded PickUp & DropOff Addresses, dialysis centers • XY to Line tool • Org. Dest. • Kept TRIP_ID • Distance Traveled • Nearest Center • Ratio of distance • Actual / Closest • Results • 2/ 2 = 1.000 • Or 2.5/ 2 = 1.25
Nearest Center Results • 40% not going to nearest center • Weighted by GDRTA with 111 trips
Implications for Decision Makers Where do we go from here?
Limitations & Thoughts for Future • Only part of the system • Data from RTA, Anton’s, Greene CATS, MCPT and Fairborn Sen. Center. • Straight lines distance used instead of actual distance. • Easy, does not require network • Different date ranges of data. • Surveyed & Observed only two centers • both in Montgomery County
