Lab 7 Part 2: WIFI and Police Stations Nearest Locations in Boston

This is a map showing how many WIFI stations are near Boston Police Stations.  The table is showing us each Police Station and how many WIFI stations are near it.  What had to be done first was to use the Boston Boundary and add the WIFI Stations and Police Stations CSV files.  After that, using the Find Nearest Tool in ArcGIS Online.  For the distance, I made 1 WIFI stations in 100 miles of the nearest Police Station.  The map shows us these purple points and those are the nearest police stations and the lines represent the closet WIFI Stations.  This data was collected from ESRI.

Lab 7 Part 1: Drive-Time Analyst in Boston (3 minutes)

This is a map of Boston showing 3 minutes of driving with traffic at 5:30 pm and 3 minutes of driving with no traffic.  Using the Boston boundary, I looked at the drive time from the public school in Boston at 5:30 pm at the time of rush hour.  The area in blue is showing the drive time with traffic in blue and the no traffic area is in red.  The area with traffic that you can drive(in blue) is 2.962 kilometers. The area with no traffic (in red) is 3.138 kilometers.  This data was collected from ESRI.
