Abstract

Obstacle effect on proximity, connectivity, and organization of spatial data calls for derivation of measures that enable quantifying their influence. Provision of such measures is valuable for ensuring an aware planning, analysis of obstacle impact on spatial data, and the consequent placement of crossings. This paper proposes quantifying obstacle influence via their impact on connectivity and aggregation of data. As the paper shows, the derived indices enable capturing the actual obstacle effect on spatial data while accommodating datasets with different level of complexity. The information and contribution of these indices are demonstrated and analyzed, and results show how the derived measures reflect changes in spatial data arrangement.
