Generate Approximate Drive Times (Business Analyst)

获得 Business Analyst 许可后可用。

摘要

Creates trade areas that approximate the size, shape, and area of existing polygons using available routes from the selected distance type.

使用情况

  • The Output Feature Class attribute table contains a field that lists the distance or travel time of each polygon from centroid to boundary.

  • If the Store Layer parameter is specified, its locations will be used as the starting point for creating network service areas, instead of the input centroids.

  • The Iterations Limit parameter allows you to reduce credit consumption for online data by restricting the number of times networks can be traversed. A low Iterations Limit value may impact how closely the drive time trade areas align with the input polygons.

  • The Store Layer parameter locations must be inside the Input Features parameter value to produce valid drive time polygons.

  • The Store Layer parameter locations that are near the Input Features parameter value border can result in large drive time polygons outside of the Input Features parameter value area. As a result, there may be a substantial difference between the input area and resulting drive time.

参数

The method of travel used to create the output polygons.

String
Distance Units
(可选)

The distance units to be used with the threshold values.

String
Store Layer
(可选)

A point layer that will be used as the starting point for creating network service areas.

Feature Layer
Store ID Field
(可选)

The ID that uniquely identifies each Store Layer point.

Field
Associated Store ID Field
(可选)

The ID that uniquely identifies each Input Features point.

Field
Iterations Limit
(可选)

The maximum number of drive times that can be used to find the optimal threshold limit.

Long
Minimum Step
(可选)

The minimum increment distance or time—for example, 1 mile or 1 min—that will be used between iterations to expand until the threshold is reached.

Double
Threshold Percent Difference
(可选)

Double
Travel Direction
(可选)

Specifies the direction of travel for output polygon creation.

Specifies the time zone that will be used for the Time of Day parameter.

  • Time Zone at LocationThe time zone in which the territories are located will be used. This is the default.
  • UTCCoordinated universal time (UTC) will be used.
String
Search Tolerance
(可选)

The maximum distance that input points can be from the network.

The default value is 5000 meters.

Linear Unit
Polygon Detail
(可选)

Specifies the level of detail that will be used for the output drive time polygons.

  • StandardPolygons with a standard level of detail will be created. This is the default.
  • GeneralizedGeneralized polygons will be created using the hierarchy present in the network data source to produce results quickly.
  • HighPolygons with a high level of detail will be created for applications in which precise results are important.
