| Abstract | This study presents an analysis of the accessibility of
nodes in the Bangkok road network and gives the most accessible
location(s) for distribution center or warehouse. By means of the
Dijlrntra algorithm, accessibility values are computed for each
node by summing shortest travel times to a set of reference nodes
evenly spread over the Greater Bangkok Area. The most accessible
location for general and for a specific application are discussed. Relative accessibility measure was presented with respect
to the most accessible location in order to view how it covers
the whole area of study. As a case study, warehouse location
analysis for The Nestle (Thailand) Co., Ltd. was studied. The
company is going to locate three warehouses due to increasing
demand and transportation problems caused by traffic congestion
of Bangkok. At the same time these three warehouses will serve
partly other provinces as well. Integral accessibility measure is
presented as iso-accessibility map which depicts most accessible
region for the study area. Finally, it compares the proposed
warehouse location s chosen by the company and the most accessible
location which was given by this research study. |
