NetworkDataset

Zusammenfassung

Provides access to the properties of a network dataset. You can use this class to retrieve the properties and attribute values for network dataset edges, junctions, and turns, as well as other properties of the network dataset.

Syntax

NetworkDataset (in_network)
ParameterErläuterungDatentyp
in_network

The network dataset whose properties you want to retrieve. The argument can be specified using the catalog path to the network dataset, a network dataset layer object, or the string name of the network dataset layer.

String

Eigenschaften

EigenschaftErläuterungDatentyp
buildTimestamp
(Schreibgeschützt)

The date and time the network dataset was most recently built.

DateTime
customEvaluators
(Lesen und schreiben)

A list of Python classes that customize the network attribute values for edges, junctions, and turns during a solve operation. The property must be specified as a list of instances of user-defined classes inheriting from the arcpy.nax.AttributeEvaluator class.

Custom evaluator classes cannot be permanently associated with the network dataset using this property. The association is temporary and applies only to solve operations within the same script where this property is set. To permanently persist an association with a custom evaluator class, use the updateNetworkDatasetSchema method.

Object
directionsCustomizer
(Lesen und schreiben)

A Python class that customizes the directions maneuver text returned when the network dataset is used in a solve operation. The property must be specified as an instance of a user-defined class inheriting from the arcpy.nax.DirectionsCustomizer class.

Custom directions classes cannot be permanently associated with the network dataset using this property. The association is temporary and applies only to solve operations within the same script where this property is set. To permanently persist an association with a custom directions class, use the updateNetworkDatasetSchema method.

Object
edgeCount
(Schreibgeschützt)

The number of edges in the network.

Boolean
junctionCount
(Schreibgeschützt)

The number of junctions in the network.

Integer
travelModes
(Schreibgeschützt)

Returns a dictionary of travel mode objects that are available on the network dataset. The dictionary keys are the names of the travel modes, and the dictionary values are the travel mode objects. This property returns the same output as the GetTravelModes function.

Methodenübersicht

MethodeErläuterung
checkIntersectingFeatures (feature_layer, cutoff)

Returns a Boolean value indicating whether the number of edge source features from the specified network dataset that are intersected by the features within the specified feature layer is less than or equal to the specified cutoff. This is useful for restricting the number of features that can be loaded as line or polygon barriers into a network analysis problem.

This method is similar to the CheckIntersectingFeatures function.

describe ()

Returns a Describe object that contains additional properties of the network dataset. This is equivalent to using arcpy.Describe on the network dataset.

edges ({edge_properties}, {attribute_names}, {time_of_day}, {eids}, {travel_mode}, {area_of_interest})

Returns an iterator of network dataset edge elements you can use to access the value of specific edge properties and network attributes at the time of day specified.

getDataSourceFromSourceID (source_id)

Returns the catalog path of the network dataset source feature class identified by the given source ID.

Tipp:

This method is effectively instantaneous because it reads a cached value. Your code can call this method repeatedly with minimal performance impact.

junctions ({junction_properties}, {attribute_names}, {time_of_day}, {eids}, {travel_mode}, {area_of_interest})

Returns an iterator of network dataset junction elements that you can use to access the value of specific junction properties and network attributes at the time of day specified.

turns ({turn_properties}, {attribute_names}, {eids}, {travel_mode}, {area_of_interest})

Returns an iterator of network dataset turn elements you can use to access the value of specific turn properties and network attributes.

updateNetworkDatasetSchema ({custom_evaluators}, {custom_directions})

Updates the network dataset to associate a custom evaluator or directions Python class with the network.

ParameterErläuterungDatentyp
edge_properties
[edge_properties,...]

A list of strings representing the network edge properties to retrieve. For a single property, you can use a string instead of a list of strings. The available properties include the following:

  • EIDThe ID of the edge.
  • SOURCEID The ID of the source feature class of the edge.
  • SOURCEOID The ObjectID of the feature within the source feature class from which this network edge is derived.
  • FROMPOSITION The distance along the source feature where this network edge starts. A network edge can represent a partial feature in the source feature class.
  • TOPOSITION The distance along the source feature where this network edge ends.
  • DIRECTION A Boolean value indicating whether the edge's direction is along the direction of digitization of the source feature. A value of True means that the edge's direction is along the direction of digitization, and a value of False means that the edge's direction is against the direction of digitization.
  • FROMJUNCTION The EID of the junction feature at the beginning of the edge.
  • TOJUNCTION The EID of the junction feature at the end of the edge.
  • ISRESTRICTEDA Boolean value indicating whether the edge is restricted for the specified travel mode.
  • COSTThe cost to traverse the edge for the specified travel mode.
  • TIMEThe time cost to traverse the edge for the specified travel mode.

updateNetworkDatasetSchema ({custom_evaluators}, {custom_directions})
ParameterErläuterungDatentyp
custom_evaluators

A dictionary that describes the custom evaluators that will be associated with the network dataset.

Learn more about custom evaluators

The dictionary keys are the network attribute names that the custom evaluator will be applied to. The values are a dictionary with a class key and an optional sourceNames key. The class key value describes how to import the custom evaluator class from the active ArcGIS Pro Python environment's site-packages directory using a dot notation to specify the package, module, and class. The sourceNames key value is a list of network source names specifying the sources the custom evaluator applies to. If this key is not included in the dictionary, the custom evaluator will apply to all sources.

This code snippet shows a dictionary with the correct structure to update the network dataset's Minutes attribute with a custom evaluator whose code is defined in a class named CostCustomizer in a Python file named custom_eval.py in a folder Python na_customization in the Python environment's site-packages directory.

ce_description = {
    "Minutes": {
        "class": "na_customization.custom_eval.CostCustomizer",
        "sourceNames": ["Streets"]
    }
}
nd.updateNetworkDatasetSchema(custom_evaluators=ce_description)

Only include a given network attribute in the dictionary once. You can only associate one custom evaluator with a given attribute.

To remove a reference to existing custom evaluators from the network dataset schema, use a value of None when calling this method.

nd.updateNetworkDatasetSchema(custom_evaluators=None)

Vorsicht:

Positional arguments are not supported with this method. To associate a custom evaluator with the network, you must use the named argument custom_evaluators when calling this method.

Dictionary
custom_directions

A dictionary that describes the directions customization classes that will be associated with the network dataset.

Learn more about custom directions

The dictionary must have a key named class. The value describes how to import the custom evaluator class from the active ArcGIS Pro Python environment's site-packages directory using a dot notation to specify the package, module, and class.

This code snippet shows a dictionary with the correct structure to update the network dataset schema with a custom directions class named DirectionsCustomizer in a Python file named custom_directions.py in a folder named na_customization in the Python environment's site-packages directory.

cd_description = {"class": "na_customization.custom_directions.DirectionsCustomizer"}
nd.updateNetworkDatasetSchema(custom_directions=cd_description)

To remove a reference to existing custom directions classes from the network dataset schema, use a value of None when calling this method.

nd.updateNetworkDatasetSchema(custom_directions=None)

Vorsicht:

Positional arguments are not supported with this method. To associate a custom directions class with the network, you must use the named argument custom_directions when calling this method.
