EX15 — Population Service

Tags: population demand · service cohorts · regional traffic Input: population-service.yaml · Runtime tier: standard · Recommended views: 2D, Analysis

Purpose

Turn population distribution, terminal cohorts, and local-time behavior into regional offered traffic, then evaluate how much is delivered.

Setup

Forty-eight satellites serve Europe, North Africa, and Southeast Asia through three gateways for 24 hours. Three user-equipment cohorts create spatially and temporally differentiated demand.

astraeus run astraeus-resources/examples/user/population-service.yaml

RunSpec Focus

The population block controls eligibility, cohort shares, terminal profiles, and local-time demand. It replaces a uniform per-grid-point offered load with a resolved service population.

  service:
    population:
      eligibility:
        area_ids: [europe, north-africa, southeast-asia]
      cohorts:
        presets: [consumer_indoor, consumer_outdoor, rural_offgrid]
      temporal:
        local_time_mode: solar_longitude

Results

The reference run completed successfully in 15.85 seconds. It resolved 130 eligible cells, three enabled cohorts, and 390 cohort execution points, generating 16.882 GB. Transport delivered 5.641 GB (33.42%). User-link opportunity covered 10.02% of point-time samples; complete service covered 1.22%.

Artifacts To Inspect

Artifact What it shows
mission/service_population_summary.json Population resolution, cohort counts, demand totals, and profile provenance
mission/service_kpi_population_by_area.parquet Demand, opportunity, and complete service resolved by region
mission/service_kpi_population_points.parquet Population and service KPIs at every execution point
transport/transport_summary.json End-to-end delivery, capacity, backlog, and scheduler outcomes

Interpretation

The demand model explains where and when traffic is offered; the transport model explains whether a complete path serves it. The gap between opportunity and service again makes end-to-end geometry the first constraint to investigate, while cohort and regional artifacts show who is affected.
