Consider you leave the school parking to pickup (or drop) students from their homes and bring them to school. Assume the total travel cost is 430$ including fuel cost, driver travel time, vehicle related costs ... etc. The question is: what is the contribution of each pickup location to the total travel cost? If you want an objective way to split the travel cost between the pickup (or drop) locations to know how much it cost to pick up or drop each student, slice-of-cost is there for you.
Slice-of-Cost will split the cost between the pickup (or drop) locations. Place the Origin marker at the school location, then place stop location S1, S2, S3 at every pickup (or drop) locations, as shown on the map below, and then click split.
Slice-of-Cost will split the travel cost between your stop locations and results will be shown on the location markers. The percentage of the travel cost for location S1 is 35.38%; therefore, the contribution of the location S1 to the total travel cost is 430$ * 0.3538 = 152.1340$. Similary, the contribution to the total travel cost at S2 is 430$ * 0.3041 = 130.7630$, and at S3 is 430$ * 0.341 = 146.6300$.
