ServiceArea output data types

Upon successful execution, the tool returns the service areas around the facilities and the status indicating the analysis was successful.

The output data types containing the results from a service area analysis are described below.

Polygons

It provides access to polygon features that represent areas that can be reached from the input locations with a given travel time, travel distance, or travel cost.

This data type supports the fields described below. In addition to these fields, the data type also includes all the fields from the input feature class used as facilities for the analysis when generating overlapping or nonoverlapping polygons.

FieldDescriptionData type

Name

The name of the service area. It is based on the name of the associated facility and the cutoffs; for example, Store1: 0.0 – 5.0 represents a service area that covers all traversable streets within five minutes of a facility named Store1.

The break values are returned without the name of the facility, for example, 0.0 – 5.0, when the geometryAtOverlap property of the analysis object is set to ServiceAreaOverlapGeometry.Dissolve.

Text

FacilityID

The unique identifier of the associated facility that is automatically generated by the analysis.

Multiple facilities can be associated with one service area when the geometryAtOverlap property of the analysis object is set to ServiceAreaOverlapGeometry.Dissolve; therefore, FacilityID field values are set to null when service areas are merged.

Long

FacilityOID

The ObjectID value of the input facility feature used to generate the service area polygon. This field is often used to join information from the input facilities.

Multiple facilities can be associated with one service area when the geometryAtOverlap property of the analysis object is set to ServiceAreaOverlapGeometry.Dissolve; therefore, FacilityOID field values are set to null when service areas are merged.

Long

FromBreak

The lower bound of the service area's impedance cutoff range. The unit for this field is based on the unit of the impedance attribute set for the analysis.

If the impedance attribute is time based, the value is in the units specified by the timeUnits property. If the impedance attribute is distance based, the value is in the units specified by the distanceUnits property. The value is in unknown units if the impedance attribute is neither time based nor distance based.

Double

ToBreak

The upper bound of the service area's impedance cutoff range. The value is in the same units as the FromBreak field values.

Double

Breaks

The values for this field are copied from the Breaks field on the input facilities.

Text

AdditionalTime

The values for this field are copied from the AdditionalTime field on the input facilities.

Double

AdditionalDistance

The values for this field are copied from the AdditionalDistance field on the input facilities.

Double

AdditionalCost

The values for this field are copied from the AdditionalCost field on the input facilities.

Double

Lines

This stores the resultant service areas as linear features and covers the streets, or network edges, that can be reached within the given time, distance, or other travel-cost cutoff. Lines are a truer representation of a service area than polygons since service area analyses are based on measurements along the network lines.

This data type supports the following fields:

FieldDescriptionData type

FacilityOID

The ObjectID value of the input facility feature used to generate the service area lines. This field is often used to join information from the input facilities.

Long

SourceName

Text

SourceOID

The ObjectID of the traversed street feature. Summarizing the values for this field can provide useful information such as the number of times a particular street feature is included from the facilities.

Long

FromPosition

Specifies where along the underlying source feature the service area line begins.

  • A value of 0 (zero) indicates that the service area line begins at the from point of the underlying source feature.
  • A value of 1 indicates that the service area line begins at the to point of the source feature.
  • A value between 0 and 1 indicates that the line begins at a point along the underlying source feature; for example, a value of 0.25 means the line begins 25 percent along the digitized direction of the underlying source feature.

Double

ToPosition

Specifies where along the underlying source feature the service area line ends.

  • A value of 0 (zero) indicates that the service area line ends at the from point of the underlying source feature.
  • A value of 1 indicates that the service area line ends at the to point of the source feature.
  • A value between 0 and 1 indicates that the line ends at a point along the underlying source feature; for example, a value of 0.25 means the line ends 25 percent along the digitized direction of the underlying source feature.
