The StreetMap Premium dataset contains a ready-to-use network dataset and is the same network, whether in file geodatabase (.gdb) format or mobile map package (.mmpk) format. The geographic extent of the network dataset may vary based on the geography that you license or the mobile map package that you download. The network dataset in the StreetMap Premium .gdb is named Routing_ND. Routing_ND can be added to ArcGIS Pro with the Add Data button and is available for network analysis as long as you have the ArcGIS Network Analyst extension and the appropriate StreetMap Premium (*.sdlic) license file installed. If you are importing the StreetMap Premium mobile map package format into ArcGIS Pro, the imported map (StreetMap Day) already contains the Routing_ND network dataset at the bottom of the Contents pane. This network dataset is available for routing in ArcGIS Pro as long as you are licensed for the ArcGIS Network Analyst extension and the proper regional StreetMap Premium extension.
For more information about using routing services in ArcGIS Pro, see Network analysis layers.
Routing services
With the Routing_ND network dataset included in StreetMap Premium, you can create routes in ArcGIS Pro using the ArcGIS Network Analyst extension.
For more details about routing levels, trucking restrictions, and historical and live traffic information for each country, see StreetMap Premium product coverage on the ArcGIS website.
The following routing capabilities are defined below: historical traffic data, live traffic data, impedance options, restrictions, and travel modes.
Historical traffic data
You can use historical traffic data by specifying start times when creating routes using the Network Analyst extension. Using historical traffic data results in more accurate travel times, as the data stores traffic flow information by day of the week and time of day. For example, routing through the city at 7:30 a.m. on a weekday takes longer than routing through the city at midnight. Historical traffic is based on the average of observed speeds over the past two years. A few specific kinds of links are not covered in historical traffic, because they are not navigable roadways: ferry links, rail links, and any link that is not marked as accessible by emergency vehicles.
Live traffic data
In StreetMap Premium, you can access a live traffic feed through the ArcGIS Online World Traffic Service. Using a live traffic service with ArcGIS StreetMap Premium allows you access to high-quality live traffic data that can improve the results of Network Analyst functions such as routing. Live traffic as a service is available for an additional fee as part of the ArcGIS StreetMap Premium product. Esri Customer Service provides access to the ArcGIS Online World Traffic Service through your ArcGIS Online account after purchase.
See Use live traffic from the ArcGIS Online World Traffic Service with ArcGIS StreetMap Premium for information about how to configure live traffic. Live traffic may be configured for ArcGIS Desktop as well as ArcGIS Enterprise use. See the ArcGIS Enterprise help topic on Traffic Data under About utility services for details about how to configure live traffic as a utility service for your organization.
Impedance options
The available impedance options for routing are listed in the table below.
With 2020 StreetMap Premium releases and using ArcGIS Pro 2.5.2 or later, when a start time is specified, the TruckTravelTime impedance uses a combination of historic traffic information and jurisdictional truck speed limits to give more realistic travel times. If a start time is not specified, the TruckTravelTime impedance falls back to the TruckMinutes impedance logic.
Use WalkTime to model walking speed. The default speed is set to 5 kilometers/hour. Adjust the WalkTime speed in the Travel Mode > Costs > Cost Parameters section of the Layer Properties dialog box. The TimeAt1KPH impedance models traveling at a constant speed of 1 kilometer/hour. The main purpose of this attribute is to support the WalkTime impedance; it is not intended to be used on its own as walking speeds are generally not that slow.
Using the Minutes impedance, with or without specifying a start time, uses average speed values previously calculated from the historic traffic data. This results in quicker performance than when selecting the TravelTime impedance, which uses the actual historic traffic data based on time of day.
| Available impedance options | Description |
|---|---|
Kilometers | Find shortest route, distance wise (in kilometers). |
Miles | Find shortest route, distance wise (in miles). |
Minutes | Find shortest route, time wise, using average speed values previously calculated from the historical traffic data, which results in quicker performance. |
TimeAt1KPH | Find shortest route, time wise, using constant speed (1 kilometer/hour). |
TravelTime | Find shortest route, time wise, using automobile speed values from historical traffic data for a specific time of day. |
TruckMinutes | Find shortest route, time wise, using the smaller speed value: truck speed limit or average speed calculated from historical traffic data. |
TruckTravelTime | Find shortest route, time wise, using a combination of truck speed limits and speed values from historical traffic data for a specific time of day. |
WalkTime | Find shortest route, time wise, using adjustable walking speed. |

Travel modes
A travel mode is a preselected set of restrictions. The available travel modes for routing are listed in the following table:
| Travel mode | Description |
|---|---|
Driving Time | Models the movement of cars and other similar small automobiles, such as pickup trucks, and finds solutions that optimize travel time. Travel obeys one-way roads, avoids illegal turns, and follows other rules that are specific to cars. When you specify a start time, dynamic travel speeds based on traffic are used where it is available. |
Driving Distance | Models the movement of cars and other similar small automobiles, such as pickup trucks, and finds solutions that optimize travel distance. Travel obeys one-way roads, avoids illegal turns, and follows other rules that are specific to cars. |
Rural Driving Time | Models the movement of cars and other similar small automobiles, such as pickup trucks, and finds solutions that optimize travel time. Travel obeys one-way roads, avoids illegal turns, and follows other rules that are specific to cars but does not discourage travel on unpaved roads. When you specify a start time, dynamic travel speeds based on traffic are used where it is available. |
Rural Driving Distance | Models the movement of cars and other similar small automobiles, such as pickup trucks, and finds solutions that optimize travel distance. Travel obeys one-way roads, avoids illegal turns, and follows other rules that are specific to cars but does not discourage travel on unpaved roads. |
Trucking Time | Models basic truck travel by preferring designated truck routes and finds solutions that optimize travel time. Routes must obey one-way roads, avoid illegal turns, and so on. When you specify a start time, dynamic travel speeds based on traffic are used where it is available, up to the legal truck speed limit. |
