This package takes polygons and aggregates them into a heatmap using different methods
This aggregate map can be used in area-based planning exercises for identifying where important areas exist and measuring the impact if changes in access are made.
This module is an implementation of previously published work, notably the Spatial Access Priority Mapping (SAPM) framework.
