Zusammenfassung:A method is disclosed for allocating resources in a geographic area. The method comprises: subdividing the area into a number of pixels; selecting an observation period and subdividing the observation period in a number of time sub-intervals; acquiring a data set associated with the pixels during the observation period; on the basis of a sub-set of data of the data set, the sub-set of data being associated with the identified one or more typical time-subintervals of the observation period, applying a clustering algorithm to partition the pixels into a number of clusters, each cluster comprising a respective group of pixels associated with similar trends in the resource consumption and/or in the presence indicator; and allocating resources to a cluster of the number of clusters on the basis of the trends.
