Abstract
With digitally stored geographical maps, programmed algorithms can calculate a plurality of territories within a map, the territories being balanced with respect to metric data that is associated with units of the map, using channel flow-based principles of the Constructal Law. One field of application is balanced territories for sales representatives in which units of a map are associated with different customers or entities having different sales volume, unit volume, or other workload associated with the units. As the magnitude of workload metrics changes, territories can be rapidly and efficiently rebalanced.
