• Title: Data-Driven Optimization for Police Zone Design
• Authors: Shixiang Zhu, He Wang, Yao Xie
• Abstract summary: We present a data-driven framework for redesigning police patrol zones in an urban environment. The objectives are to rebalance police workload among geographical areas and to reduce response time to emergency calls. By analyzing data before and after the zone redesign, we show that the new design has reduced the response time to high priority 911 calls by 5.8%.

• Abstract: We present a data-driven optimization framework for redesigning police patrol zones in an urban environment. The objectives are to rebalance police workload among geographical areas and to reduce response time to emergency calls. We develop a stochastic model for police emergency response by integrating multiple data sources, including police incidents reports, demographic surveys, and traffic data. Using this stochastic model, we optimize zone redesign plans using mixed-integer linear programming. Our proposed design was implemented by the Atlanta Police Department in March 2019. By analyzing data before and after the zone redesign, we show that the new design has reduced the response time to high priority 911 calls by 5.8\% and the imbalance of police workload among different zones by 43\%.

  We seek to do the same by applying data-driven learning at scale to the problem of motion planning. Our approach builds a large number of complex scenes in simulation, collects expert data from a motion planner, then distills it into a reactive generalist policy. We perform a thorough evaluation of our method on 64 motion planning tasks across four diverse environments.

  Long-term urban mobility predictions play a crucial role in the effective management of urban facilities and services. Traditionally, urban mobility data has been structured as videos, treating longitude and latitude as fundamental pixels. In our research, we introduce a fresh perspective on urban mobility prediction. Instead of oversimplifying urban mobility data as traditional video data, we regard it as a complex time series.

  We propose Spatial Planning Transformers (SPT), which given an obstacle map learns to generate actions by planning over long-range spatial dependencies. In the setting where the ground truth map is not known to the agent, we leverage pre-trained SPTs in an end-to-end framework. SPTs outperform prior state-of-the-art differentiable planners across all the setups for both manipulation and navigation tasks.

Our results suggest that differential crime reporting rates can lead to a displacement of predicted hotspots from high crime but low reporting areas to high or medium crime and high reporting areas.
