Introduction

Voronoi diagrams are powerful tools in data analysis, offering insights into spatial relationships and distributions. This repository includes a KNIME workflow for calculating service areas of train stations in Tokyo and analyzing restaurant density. By leveraging Voronoi diagrams, we can identify key insights, such as Ueno-okachimachi station having the highest restaurant density in Tokyo Prefecture.

Installation

To get started with the KNIME workflow, follow these steps:

  1. Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/martinjurran/KNIME-Tokyo-StationServiceAreas.git
cd KNIME-Tokyo-RestaurantDensity

  1. Install KNIME: Download and install KNIME from the official website. Open the workflow:
  2. Launch KNIME. Open the voronoi_diagrams.knwf file from the cloned repository.
  3. Open the workflow: Follow the instructions within the KNIME interface.
  4. Connect data sources: Connect the data sources within KNIME. They need to be connected within the Geofile Reader nodes.
  5. Execute the workflow: Execute the workflow and analyze the data.
