A TravelMode is a set of characteristics that define how an object like a vehicle, bicycle, or pedestrian moves along a street network. Those characteristics are considered when finding directions to determine how the vehicle or pedestrian travels, and where they can go. To get a list of supported travel modes, find the default travel mode, and to find and use a specific travel mode, you can use the fetchServiceDescription() method:

// 1. Get the default and supported travel modes of a route service
const apiKey = "<your api key>";
const url = "https://route-api.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World/Route/NAServer/Route_World";
const serviceDescription = await fetchServiceDescription(url, apiKey);
const { defaultTravelMode, supportedTravelModes } = serviceDescription;
console.log(`The name of the default travel mode is: ${defaultTravelMode.name}.`);
console.log(`This service has ${supportedTravelModes.length} preset travel modes`);
// 2. Find and use the "Driving Time" travel mode
const apiKey = "<your api key>";
const url = "https://route-api.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World/Route/NAServer/Route_World";
const serviceDescription = await fetchServiceDescription(url, apiKey);
const { supportedTravelModes } = serviceDescription;
const driveTimeTravelMode = supportedTravelModes.find(({ name }) => name === "Driving Time");
// Solve a route using the "Driving Time" travel mode
const routeParameters = {
stops: stopsFeatureSet, // route stops
travelMode: driveTimeTravelMode
};
const result = await solve(url, routeParameters);

For ArcGIS Enterprise services, the default value for a travel mode is based on the layer setting when the map service is published with the network analysis capabilities. Open the service description page to see the default values for the parameters.

fromJSON

inheritedstatic Method
Signature
fromJSON (json: any): any
Inherited from: JSONSupportMixin

Creates a new instance of this class and initializes it with values from a JSON object generated from an ArcGIS product. The object passed into the input json parameter often comes from a response to a query operation in the REST API or a toJSON() method from another ArcGIS product. See the Using fromJSON() topic in the Guide for details and examples of when and how to use this function.

Parameters
ParameterTypeDescriptionRequired
json
any

A JSON representation of the instance in the ArcGIS format. See the ArcGIS REST API documentation for examples of the structure of various input JSON objects.

Returns
any

Returns a new instance of this class.

clone

inherited Method
Signature
clone (): this
Inherited from: ClonableMixin

Creates a deep clone of this object. Any properties that store values by reference will be assigned copies of the referenced values on the cloned instance.

Returns
this

A deep clone of the class instance that invoked this method.

toJSON

inherited Method
Signature
toJSON (): any
Inherited from: JSONSupportMixin

Converts an instance of this class to its ArcGIS portal JSON representation. See the Using fromJSON() guide topic for more information.

Returns
any

The ArcGIS portal JSON representation of an instance of this class.
