Challenge #70: Trade Area Drivetime Radii

I really don't think this is the best solution ever and I don't have access to drivetime data, but here's my solution anyway. Thanks!

Follow my solution file solved...

 

I used US Peak Q4 2017 and the shared area has roughly the half area... or the traffic growed significanly in past 1,5 years or my workflow is not working as expected... lol

I've only got a Europe drivetime package, so I used distance instead. Managed to get something that was close(ish) to the example output using 12 miles.

Didn't have the drive times and thought of this one as a back to shcool trying to get the perpendicular bisectors of the segments of the triangle...that would find the equidistant center of the three points and any area would be a circle with that point as its center...

Since I don't have drive-time data I used an average speed --> miles radius. Other than that, mine is the same method as everyone else's.

Areas don't match due to updates on the drivetime set (Late to the game here) but process was identical! I think the first time I've done exactly the same as the posted solution.

Two different ways to get to the same result in my solution.

I went the multi intersection route until i learned that the summary tool supports spatial operations.  How Cool is that!

Like some of the others I don't have drivetime data, so I went with using a set distance to get an approximation.

Did not have access to drive times so I've checked distances beetween offices and miles radiuses - and arbitrary come up with 11.5 miles (although initially I've used 15 km)

 

anyway thank you for challenge - good ocassion to use spatial tools.
