Output from Generate Service Areas

Upon successful execution, the service returns the service areas around the facilities, the output facilities, and the status indicating the analysis was successful using the following output parameters:

service_areas

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.

The Geometry at Overlaps, Geometry at Cutoff, Polygon Detail, Polygon Trim Distance, and Polygon Simplification Tolerance parameters influence the shape of the output service areas.

The following table lists the fields that are returned for output service areas. In addition to these fields, the parameter also includes all the fields from the input feature class used as facilities for the analysis when generating overlapping or nonoverlapping polygons.

FieldDescription

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 Geometry at Overlaps parameter is set to Merge by Break Value.

FacilityID

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

Multiple facilities may be associated with one service area when the Geometry at Overlaps parameter is set to Merge by Break Value; therefore, FacilityID field values are set to null when service areas are merged.

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 may be associated with one service area when the Geometry at Overlaps parameter is set to Merge by Break Value; therefore, FacilityOID field values are set to null when service areas are merged.

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.

The value is in the units specified by the Break Units parameter.

ToBreak

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

Breaks

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

AdditionalTime

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

AdditionalDistance

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

AdditionalCost

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

output_facilities

This provides access to the attributes of the facilities that are used in the service area analysis. You can use the attributes from this data type, such as the Status field, to determine why a facility was not used in the analysis.

The parameter supports the following fields. In addition to these fields, the data type also includes all the fields from the input facilities used for the analysis.

FieldDescription

Name

The name of the facility. The values for this field are copied from the Name field on the input facilities.

FacilityOID

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

Breaks

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

AdditionalTime

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

AdditionalDistance

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

AdditionalCost

The values for this field are copied from the AdditionalCost field on the input facilities. This field is included only when the travel mode used for the analysis has an impedance attribute that is neither time based nor distance based.

SourceID

The numeric identifier of the network dataset source feature class on which the input point is located.

SourceOID

The ObjectID of the feature in the source on which the input point is located.

PosAlong

The position along the digitized direction of the source line feature. This value is stored as a ratio. This field is null if the network location references a junction.

SideOfEdge

The side of the edge in relation to the digitized direction of the line feature. This field is limited to a domain of two values: Right Side (1) and Left Side (2).

CurbApproach

The direction a vehicle may arrive at and depart from the facility. The values for this field are copied from the CurbApproach field on the input facilities.

Status

Indicates how the facility was evaluated in the analysis. The possible values are the following:

  • 0 (OK)—The facility was successfully located on the transportation network and analyzed.
  • 1 (Not Located)—The facility was not included in the analysis since a traversable road was not found within the maximum search distance from the facility.
  • 3 (Elements not traversable)—The network element that the facility is on is not traversable. This can occur when the network element is restricted by a restriction attribute.
  • 4 (Invalid Field Values)—Field values fall outside a range or coded-value domain. For example, a negative number may exist where positive numbers are required.
  • 5 (Not Reached)—The facility couldn't be reached due to constraints; for example, a curb approach is set so that a vehicle must travel in the wrong direction on a one-way street to reach the facility.
  • 7 (Not located on closest)—The closest network location to the facility is not traversable because of a restriction or barrier, so the facility has been located on the closest traversable network feature instead.

SnapX

The x-coordinate of the position on the network dataset where the point was located, in the coordinate system of the network dataset.

SnapY

The y-coordinate of the position on the network dataset where the point was located, in the coordinate system of the network dataset.

SnapZ

The z-coordinate of the position on the network dataset where the point was located, in the coordinate system of the network dataset. The SnapZ field is 0 if the network is two dimensional.

DistanceToNetworkInMeters

The distance in meters between the point's geographic location and the position where it was located on the network.

Bearing

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

BearingTol

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

NavLatency

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

solve_succeeded

Use this parameter to determine if the analysis was successful.

output_result_file

Use this parameter to access the results from the analysis as a .zip file containing one or more files for each output. The format of the individual file is specified by the Output Format parameter. The parameter value is not populated when the Output Format parameter is set to Feature Set.

When a file-based output format—such as JSON File or GeoJSON File—is specified, no outputs are added to the display, since the application (such as ArcMap or ArcGIS Pro) does not draw the contents of the result file. Instead, the result file is downloaded to a temporary directory on your machine. In ArcGIS Pro, the location of the downloaded file can be determined by viewing the Output Result File parameter value in the entry corresponding to the tool execution in the geoprocessing history of your project. In ArcMap, the location of the file can be determined by accessing the Copy Location option in the shortcut menu on the Output Result File parameter in the entry corresponding to the tool execution in the Geoprocessing Results window.

output_network_analysis_layer

Use this parameter to access the network analysis layer file that stores the analysis settings and the inputs and outputs used for the analysis. The parameter value is populated only when the Save Output Network Analysis Layer parameter is set to True.

The file is downloaded to a temporary directory on your machine. In ArcGIS Pro, the location of the downloaded file can be determined by viewing the Output Network Analysis Layer parameter value in the entry corresponding to the tool execution in the geoprocessing history of your project. In ArcMap, the location of the file can be determined by accessing the Copy Location option in the shortcut menu on the Output Network Analysis Layer parameter in the entry corresponding to the tool execution in the Geoprocessing Results window.

Note:

You cannot work directly with this file even when you open the file in an ArcGIS Desktop application such as ArcMap since its data source will not be valid. The file is meant to be sent to Esri Technical Support to diagnose the quality of results returned from the tool.
