How can I derive travel cost from roads per area?
Am I right, that you want to derive cost from the density distribution
of roads per area?
If the density between two points is low the cost is high and if the
density between two points is high the cost is low? So far so good.
But what if you have for example a highway through a very large area.
The points along this highway would be accessible far better than the
points in this area not connected directly to this one highway, but this
other points would get the same cost values to access them, because they
are in the same area unit.
So in the moment I think you cant make good assumptions about travel
cost from density distributions. Wheighted graphs are the better model
for that question I think, also for the visualization of it... ;-)
