Kang et al utilizes hospital, census, and traffic data to determine spatial accesssibility of COVID-19 healthcare resources in Illinois, USA. Using an enhanced two-step floating catchment area (E2SFCA) method, the study examines hospitals throughout Illinois using catchment areas of 10, 20, and 30 minutes of driving. The measurement of ventilators and ICU beds were used for the hospital data, while the number of people aged over 50 and total COVID-19 cases were used to measure populations within the studied region. The study found an unequal distribution of COVID-19 healthcare resources throughout Illinois.
For the reanalysis/reproduction of the Kang et al. study, we will be adjusting and improving the speed limit information and the translation from hospital catchments into hexagons. Using the osmnx.speed function, we will improve the speed limit information by assigning road segments without speed limits with the appropriate speed limits for the highway segment type. These improvements can bolster the study's construct validity by representing a more accurate depiction of the research questions. To visualize the results, we will make figures (such as the accessibility map and the classified accessibility output) to compare the original figures to the results of the reproduction with improvements.
To perform the ESFCA method, three types of data are required, as follows: (1) road network, (2) population, and (3) hospital information. The road network can be obtained from the OpenStreetMap Python Library, called OSMNX. The population data is available on the American Community Survey. Lastly, hospital information is also publically available on the Homelanad Infrastructure Foundation-Level Data.

Function written by Joe Holler + Derrick Burt. It is a more efficient way to calculate distance-weighted catchment areas for each hospital. The algorithm runs quicker than the original one ("calculate_catchment_area"). It first creates a dictionary (with a node and its corresponding drive time from the hospital) of all nodes within a 30 minute drive time (using single_cource_dijkstra_path_length function). From here, two more dictionaries are constructed by querying the original one. From this dictionaries, single part convex hulls are created for each drive time interval and appended into a single list (one list with 3 polygon geometries). Within the list, the polygons are differenced from each other to produce three catchment areas.

Imports all files we need to run our code and pulls the Illinois network from OSMNX if it is not present (will take a while).
NOTE: even if we calculate accessibility for just Chicago, we want to use the Illinois network (or at least we should not use the Chicago network) because using the Chicago network will result in hospitals near but outside of Chicago having an infinite distance (unreachable because roads do not extend past Chicago).

This reanalysis/reproduction of the Kang et al. (2020) study implements 'djikstra_cca_polygons,' a function written by Professor Joseph Holler and Derrick Burt. This function is a modification of the 'calculate_catchment_area' from the original study. In order for the following code to work, we also adjusted the function 'hospital_measure_acc" (which measures the effect of a single hospital on the surrounding area) to use the djikstra_cca_polygons. With these revisions and modifications, the reanalysis/reproduction is more efficient compared to the original Kang et al. study method of calculating catchment area.
In the original Kang et al. study, edges without assigned speed limits were grouped and included with 35 mph edges. Since there were over 366,000 edges without assigned speed limits, a majority of the edges were automatically assigned 35 mph speed limits. As the area we are observing (Chicago metro) is made up of both highways, residential areas, and other road types, this assumption could effect the validity and accuracy of the study.
In order to improve the speed limits, we implemented speed limits based upon 'highway type' which includes residential, secondary, tertiary, primary, motorway, etc. By assigning speed limits based on highway type, we have a more accurate sense of speed limits compared to the overall assumption of 35 mph. This improves the accuracy of the study.
Lastly, we replicated the original study's figures: the accessibility map and the classified accessibility output. For our replicated figures, we ran the model under the following conditions (processor: 4, population: population at risk, resource: ICU beds). These replications showcase how our implemented revisions affect the analysis of hospital accessiblity. Compared to figures from the original study (code from '02-COVID-19Acc-Original.ipynb), we found that the zone with higher accessibility shrank with the new modifications (the green featured in the accessibility map and the dark blue in the classified output map). This suggests that the overall assumption of 35 mph might be higher than the average of speed limit of specific regions (particularly residential areas).
This reanalysis/reproduction of the Kang et al. (2020) study focused on improving the code and method efficiency with the implementation of the djikstra_cca_polygons) as well as the accuracy of the study (with the speed limit modifications). Compared to the original Kang et al. (2020) study, the improvements showcased a shrunken area for the highest levels of accessibility, indicating that the original study may be overestimating the accessibility of certain regions throughout the Chicago metropolitan area. These results suggests the original study may require revisions to its methods for greater accuracy and validity.
