The original study uses network analysis and the ratio of potential patients to hospital services to calculate the accessibility of hospitals during the Covid-19 pandemic for Chicago and the state of Illinois as a whole. The four datasets used as inputs are: OpenStreetMap road geometries and speed limits, hospital locations with the number of ICU beds and ventilators, the number of Covid-19 cases in each zip code (where data is assigned to the centroid of the zip code), and the population over the age of 50 in each census tract (where data is assigned to the centroid of the tract). Each hospital gets a catchment area with distances 10, 20, and 30 minutes away from the hospital based on speed limits. The access ratio for hexagonal subunits was calculated by weighting the service ratio (number of available services to population wanting to use that service) by the travel distance and finally normalizing these scores on a range from 0-1 where 0 is not accessible and 1 is highly accessible.
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.

Cleans the OSMNX network to work better with drive-time analysis.
First, we remove all nodes with 0 outdegree because any hospital assigned to such a node would be unreachable from everywhere. Next, we remove small (under 10 node) strongly connected components to reduce erroneously small ego-centric networks. Lastly, we ensure that the max speed is set and in the correct units before calculating time.

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.

To assess the results of our changes to the speed limits, we compare the final accessibility score maps for the four combinations of input variables to the maps from the first reproduction. This comparison isolates the impact of modifying the speed limits due to the inclusion of a buffer in the reproduction that would also change results from the original study.
The speed limit modification changes all four of the maps. The maps for both Covid-19 cases only change by a few pixels from the original reproduction, whereas the population at risk cases change much more from the first reproduction. For the population at risk/ICU bed map, the modified speed limit map has a smaller zone of highest accessibility and the zones don’t extend as far to the north(west). For the modified maps for both population types, there minute changes between ICU beds and ventilators, which confirms our hypothesis that these amounts are correlated (i.e. approximately one ventilator per one hospital bed) and won’t change the analysis very much.
There are several geographic threats to validity (as established by Schmitt 1978) in the original study, including some that were resolved through changes implemented in the reproductions and some that may not be resolvable with the available data.
Boundary distortions are present on both the city and state level scales in the original study. Ignoring hospitals or roads outside of these boundaries ignores the reality that there may be closer hospitals outside of these boundaries that a person would more likely go to than a hospital within this boundary. This distortion is rectified on the city-scale by including a buffer around the city limits to include hospitals and roads whose catchment areas overlap with the city. Boundary distortion for the state of Illinois may not be resolvable due to the inconsistency of Covid data collection between states, so introducing a buffer only introduces more uncertainty. It may be possible to look at accessibility for the population at risk for Illinois using a buffer because this value comes from Census data, which should be more consistent across state borders.
Partition distortion is another major geographic threat to the validity of this study. Using centroids for the population at risk and the Covid-19 population is an oversimplification of the spatial distribution of these populations. Furthermore, a hospital catchment area has to overlap by more than 50% a population polygon to consider that polygon in the catchment area. Although this threat is not resolved in this reproduction, other students implemented an area weighted reaggregation to include more spatial complexity in this calculation.
Modifying the speed limits was an effort to decrease the impact of space-time interaction threats to the validity of the study. However, this study still only considers personal vehicles in the model and not other forms of transportation (public transportation, bike, and walking). Including multimodal networks would significantly increase the computing time of the study and may not be feasible for many researchers. Furthermore, traffic congestion, which changes spatial accessibility throughout the day, is not factored into the model. Even though the accessibility is normalized on a 0 to 1 scale, congestion may change spatial distributions. During the beginning stages of the pandemic, traffic congestion was minimal, so this was not a priority to address in this specific reproduction.
For the population at risk and ICU bed map, the modified speed limit map has a smaller zone of highest accessibility and the zones don’t extend as far to the north(west). When modifying the speed limits, the average speed limit generally decreased. We hypothesize that because the majority of roads are residential, the majority of roads should have speed limits under 25mph. However, due to the default speed limit of 30mph (in the reproduction, 35mph in the original), the original reproduction study has the most common speed limit of 30-35mph. Overall, modifying the speed limits lowered the catchment areas from the hospitals, so the accessibility zones contracted as well.
The connection between the population type and the speed limits remains unclear. The population at risk is higher than the population with Covid-19, so the service to population ratio will be smaller. Perhaps this is why the accessibility zones on the modified speed limit map got smaller, but we would expect the ratio for Covid-19 to still change as well.

Comparing the reproduced accessibility maps to the original maps, the accessibility zones are in the same general areas (north central Chicago being the most accessible and south Chicago being the least). However, buffering the city and correcting the speed limits changes the scores of individual census tracts. The original study results can be interpreted for general regional trends but not for specific cores at the tract level.
