Network Analyst Layer properties

Synthèse

The Describe function returns the following properties for Network Analyst layers.

For a Network Analyst layer, the Describe dataType property returns a value of "NALayer".

A Network Analyst layer contains information about the inputs and parameters used in the analysis of a network problem using the Network Analyst extension.

Propriétés

PropriétéExplicationType de données
network
(Lecture seule)

The Network Dataset object.

This object can be used to get all the properties, such as catalogPath, of the underlying network dataset used by the analysis layer.

Object
nameString
(Lecture seule)

The name of the Network Analyst layer.

String
solverName
(Lecture seule)

The Network Analyst solver being referenced by the layer. Each layer can reference only one solver. This property returns the following keywords:

  • Route Solver
  • Closest Facility Solver
  • Service Area Solver
  • OD Cost Matrix Solver
  • Vehicle Routing Problem Solver
  • Location-Allocation Solver

String
impedance
(Lecture seule)

The network cost attribute used as the impedance during the analysis.

String
accumulators
(Lecture seule)

A semicolon-separated list of network cost attributes that are accumulated as part of the analysis.

String
restrictions
(Lecture seule)

A semicolon-separated list of restriction attributes that are applied for the analysis.

String
ignoreInvalidLocations
(Lecture seule)

A Boolean expression indicating the way in which the solver considers invalid network locations within the Network Analyst classes.

A value of True indicates that the invalid locations are ignored by the solver. A value of False indicates that the invalid locations are not ignored by the solver.

Boolean
uTurns
(Lecture seule)

Indicates how the U-turns at junctions, which could occur during network traversal between stops, are being handled by the solver. This property returns the following keywords:

  • ALLOW_UTURNS
  • NO_UTURNS
  • ALLOW_DEAD_ENDS_ONLY
  • ALLOW_DEAD_ENDS_AND_INTERSECTIONS_ONLY

String
useHierarchy
(Lecture seule)

Indicates whether the Network Analyst Layer is using Hierarchy. This property returns the following keywords:

  • USE_HIERARCHY
  • NO_HIERARCHY

String
hierarchyAttribute
(Lecture seule)

The name of the hierarchy attribute.

String
hierarchyLevelCount
(Lecture seule)

The number of hierarchy ranges used to define the hierarchy attribute. The maximum value is 3.

Integer
maxValueForHierarchyX
(Lecture seule)

A given hierarchy attribute can have values that define the hierarchy ranges. The maximum values for each range can be obtained from the maxValueForHierarchyX property, where X indicates the hierarchy level. For example, the maximum value for the first hierarchy range (used to define the primary roads) can be obtained from the maxValueForHierarchy1 property.

Use the hierarchyLevelCount property to determine the possible number of maxValueForHierarchy properties for a given hierarchy attribute. For example, if the hierarchyLevelCount property returns 3, the Describe object will support the MaxValueForHierarchy1 and MaxValueForHierarchy2 properties.

Integer
locatorCount
(Lecture seule)

The total number of classes that are used to search through for determining a network location.

Integer
locators
(Lecture seule)

The Network Analyst Locator object. This object can be used to obtain name, snap type, and the search query information for the classes that are used for finding network locations.

Object
findClosest
(Lecture seule)

Indicates how the network source features are searched when locating network analysis objects. This property returns the following keywords:

  • MATCH_TO_CLOSEST
  • PRIORITY

String
searchTolerance
(Lecture seule)

A space-separated string indicating the search tolerance and the units used when finding the network locations.

String
excludeRestrictedElements
(Lecture seule)

Indicates whether the network analysis objects can be located only on traversable portions of network sources This property returns the following keywords:

  • INCLUDE
  • EXCLUDE

String
solverProperties
(Lecture seule)

The Network Analyst Solver object. This object can be used to determine the solver-specific properties in a Network Analyst layer.

Object
children
(Lecture seule)

Returns a list of Describe objects that reference individual network analysis classes (such as stops and routes) as layers.

This property cannot be used with the network analysis layer stored on disk as a layer file.

List
parameterCount
(Lecture seule)

The total number of attribute parameters defined for all the network attributes of the underlying network dataset used by the Network Analyst layer.

Integer
parameters
(Lecture seule)

The Network Attribute Parameter object. This object can be used to determine the attribute parameters used for the network analysis.
