Facility Coverage

The concept

Coverage models open the fewest sites that serve demand within a distance or time radius.

How it works

Each candidate covers the points inside its radius; optimisation picks the best subset.

Winning strategy

A slightly larger radius often removes an entire facility - test the threshold.
