arcgis.network module

The arcgis.network module contains classes and functions for network analysis. Network layers and analysis can be used for operations such as finding the closest facility, the best route for a vehicle, the best routes for a fleet of vehicles, locating facilities using location allocation, calculating an OD cost matrix, and generating service areas.

NetworkLayer

class arcgis.network.NetworkLayer(url, gis=None)

NetworkLayer represents a single network layer. It provides basic information about the network layer such as its name, type, and network classes. Additionally, depending on the layer type, it provides different pieces of information.

It is a base class for RouteLayer, ServiceAreaLayer, and ClosestFacilityLayer.
