Hotspot Detection, Prioritization, and Security

  • Reference work entry
Encyclopedia of GIS

Synonyms

Geoinformatic surveillance; Hotspot detection and prioritization; Early warning; Crime mapping; Mapping and analysis for public safety

Definition

Building on important developments in spatial analysis and fundamental advances in statistical research, and catalyzed by the broad outreach of the Penn State Center for Statistical Ecology and Environmental Statistics, a diverse partnership has gathered to develop cross-cutting solutions that address issues common to multiple national applications. The focal point is a toolkit for geoinformatic hotspot detection and prioritization that provides a new way to rigorously use the geospatial and spatiotemporal information that is available in a variety of national data products on geographic regions and infrastructure networks. The major information flows may be represented schematically as in Fig. 1.
