R Documentation

Creates the integer program associated with the CHW placement problem

Description

This function combined the different rasters and shapefiles needed to create the optimisation program

Usage

CreateCHWplacement(
  population.raster,
  friction.raster,
  shp,
  name,
  buffer,
  radius,
  capacity.name = "MSPP",
  access.raster,
  popurb.raster,
  max.treat.per.CHW.urban = 2500,
  max.treat.per.CHW.rural = 1000,
  max.CHW.per.pixel,
  is.inside = FALSE,
  filepath
)

Arguments

`population.raster`	raster map containing population densities
`friction.raster`	raster map containing friction surface
`shp`	shapefile of the area of interest
`name`	name (character) of the MPS file
`buffer`	buffer around current HF
`radius`	dimension of the radius around the point (same dimension as T.GC, e.g minutes)
`capacity.name`	name (character) given to the capacity definition (for folder naming purposes)
`access.raster`	raster map containing the distance to HF layer
`popurb.raster`	raster map containing the urban population layer (urban pixels show the population in the pixel and the rural pixels are NA). Can be created with DefineUrban.
`max.treat.per.CHW.urban`	max number of people per CHW in urban areas
`max.treat.per.CHW.rural`	max number of people per CHW in rural areas
`max.CHW.per.pixel`	maximum number of CHW that can be placed on the same pixel
`is.inside`	whether CHW are placed inside the buffer (if FALSE, they are placed outside)
`filepath`	directory where to store the MPS file
