Average Drive-Time Report (Business Analyst)
Краткая информация
Calculates the average drive time within trade areas.
Использование
-
It is recommended that the average drive-time report be run using customer-derived trade areas.
-
Drive times are calculated for each trade area selected.
-
It is recommended that the units selected for the average drive time be either minutes or miles.
-
As a default, this tool uses the geographic center of the trade areas for the average drive-time calculation. You can alternately choose the actual store center point.
-
If your trade area has extreme points in it, this may skew the results. This tool uses an average calculation to determine the average drive time, and extremes in this calculation may shift the average time to be higher or lower depending on the extremes.
-
Once you have determined your average drive time, you can use this value to seek new markets by generating drive times around potential new store sites and evaluating the demographics in that area to see if they match the demographics of a successful store.
