Patent ID: 7529195

Claim:
A computerized method for mapping at least one network, comprising: employing at least one computer for: converting electronic data for network line data into electronic data for point data for the at least one network; associating the electronic data for the point data with electronic data for cells of at least one grid overlaying the at least one network; determining at least one relationship of the point data to the cells of the at least one grid in order to enable performance of at least one mathematical operation on the at least one grid, and performing at least one mathematical operation on the grid in order to indicate geographic concentration of at least one activity, the at least one mathematical operation comprising: (1) computing a value for a total weight of points in each cell divided by and/or multiplied by a number of points in each cell; and/or (2) summing and/or subtracting the electronic data for the point data of the at least one grid with electronic data for point data for at least one additional network; wherein the electronic data for the point data for the at least one additional network is converted from electronic data for network line data for the at least one additional network, and the electronic data for the point data for the at least one additional network is associated with cells of at least one additional grid overlaying the at least one additional network.
