Isolines

Isolines are the result of complex cross-analyses involving time, distances and transport networks. An isoline displays the area of influence of a phenomenon. Business Geografic’s Isoline GEO Service offers a wide range of customizable isolines that meet different analytical needs, from the most simple to the most intricate.

Process

Fineness of calculation

The algorithm calculates all destination points that can be accessed in a given time from a given starting point. The algorithm then connects all of these destination points to draw a closed curve that defines the geographical scope of the phenomenon you’re studying.

A lot of parameters need to be taken into account while calculating isolines. The pattern of the road network and the means of transport, for instance, influence the travel speed.
The algorithm is powerful enough to display the most relevant kind of isoline according to your analytical needs.

You can export the geometries of your isolines in a various range of formats and use them in any GIS or BI tool supporting standardized data formats, making it possible for you to cross your isoline results with your territorial, demographic or socio-economic data. Spatial intersections will enable you to enrich your mapping analyses when studying: catchment areas, attractiveness of a leisure complex, accessibility of an airport, etc.

Isolines, The main step

A lot of parameters need to be taken into account while calculating isolines. The pattern of the road network and the means of transport, for instance, influence the travel speed. The algorithm is powerful enough to display the most relevant kind of isoline according to your analytical needs.
