| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Background and Purpose: Travel times for hospital are different from summer and winter in snow country because of icecovered roads and snowstorms. The purpose of this study was to appear the geographical patient flow in winter season by simulation analysis. Methods: The winter travel time was simulated by GIS. The several cost value was added on summer travel time. The region from medical institutions was simulated for each arrival time, and compared between summer and winter. And the probe data of the car navigation system was used to test the assumption of the cost value. Results and Discussion: Accessible region for medical institutions was put on the map at definite time intervals. Population cover ratio and area cover ratio were calculated among a secondary medical service area.
