The /
job request finds one or more nearby facilities from incidents based on travel time or travel distance.
Finding the closest hospital to an accident, the closest police cars to a crime scene, and the closest store to a customer's address are examples of problems that can be solved using the Closest facility service. When finding the closest facilities, you can specify how many to find and whether the direction of travel is toward or away from them. Once you've found the closest facilities, you can display the best route to or from them and include the travel time, travel distance, and driving directions to each facility.
The service can use current traffic conditions when determining the best routes. You can also specify an impedance cutoff beyond which the service will not search for a facility. For instance, you can set up a Closest facility service to search for hospitals within a 15-minute drive time of the site of an accident. Any hospitals that take longer than 15 minutes to reach will not be included in the results. The hospitals are referred to as facilities, and the accident is referred to as an incident. The service allows you to perform multiple closest facility analyses simultaneously. This means you can have multiple incidents and find the closest facility or facilities to each incident.

Specify one or more locations from which the service searches for the nearby locations. These locations are referred to as incidents.
When specifying the stops, you can set attributes for each as follows:
Show attributes for incidents
Attributes for incidents
-
Namestring (length: 500)nullable
The name of the incident. The name is used in the driving directions. If the name is not specified, a unique name prefixed with Location is automatically generated in the output routes and directions.
-
IDnumber (non-negative)
A unique identifier for the incident. The identifier is included in the output routes (as the
Incident
field) and can help join additional information from the output routes, such as the total travel time or total distance, to attributes from your incidents or vice versa. If theID ID
isn't specified, the service automatically generates a unique identifier for each incident. -
AdditionalTimenumber (non-negative)default:0
The amount of time spent at the incident, which is added to the total time of the route.
The units for this attribute value are specified by the
measurement
parameter. The attribute value is included in the analysis only when the measurement units are time-based._units If you are finding the closest fire stations to fire incidents to estimate response times, for example, the
Additional
attribute can store the amount of time it takes firefighters to hook up their equipment at the location of the incident before they can begin fighting the fire.Time -
AdditionalDistancenumber (non-negative)default:0
The extra distance traveled at the incident, which is added to the total distance of the route.
The units for this attribute value are specified by the
measurement
parameter. The attribute value is included in the analysis only when the measurement units are distance-based._units Generally, the location of an incident, such as a home, isn't exactly on the street; it is set back somewhat from the road. This attribute value can be used to model the distance between the incident location and its location on the street if it is important to include that distance in the total travel distance.
-
AdditionalCostnumber (non-negative)default:0
The extra cost spent at the incident, which is added to the total cost of the route.
This attribute value should be used when the travel mode for the analysis uses an impedance attribute that is neither time-based nor distance-based The units for the attribute values are interpreted to be in unknown units.
-
Cutoffnumber (non-negative)default:0
The impedance value at which to stop searching for facilities from a given incident. This attribute allows you to specify a different cutoff value for each incident. For example, using this attribute you can search for facilities within five minutes travel time from one incident and search for facilities within eight minutes travel time from another incident.
-
TargetFacilityCountintegerdefault:null
Specify the number of facilities that need to be found for the given incident.
This field allows you to specify a different number of facilities to find for each incident. For example, using this field you can find the three closest facilities from one incident and the two closest facilities from another incident.
-

Specifies the direction a vehicle may arrive at and depart from the incident. The field value is specified as one of the following integers:
0
: Either side of vehicle. The vehicle can approach and depart the incident in either direction. U-turns are allowed. You should choose this setting if your vehicle can make a U-turn at the order or if it can pull into a driveway or parking lot and turn around.1
: Right side of vehicle. When the vehicle approaches and departs the incident, the curb must be on the right side of the vehicle. A U-turn is prohibited.2
: Left side of vehicle. When the vehicle approaches and departs the incident, the curb must be on the left side of the vehicle. A U-turn is prohibited.3
: No U-turn. When the vehicle approaches the incident, the curb can be on either side of the vehicle; however, the vehicle must depart without turning around. Learn more about U-turn policies
Show illustration
Setting Coded value Description Either side of vehicle
0
The vehicle can approach and depart the incident in either direction, so a U-turn is allowed at the incident. This setting can be chosen if it is possible and desirable for a vehicle to turn around at the incident. This decision may depend on the width of the road and the amount of traffic or whether the location has a parking lot where vehicles can pull in and turn around.
All arrival and departure combinations are allowed with the Either side of vehicle curb approach.
Right side of vehicle
1
When the vehicle approaches and departs the incident, the incident must be on the right side of the vehicle. A U-turn is prohibited. This is typically used for vehicles such as buses that must arrive with the bus stop on the right side.
The allowed arrival and departure combination for the Right side of vehicle curb approach is shown.
Left side of vehicle
2
When the vehicle approaches and departs the incident, the incident must be on the left side of the vehicle. A U-turn is prohibited. This is typically used for vehicles such as buses that must arrive with the bus stop on the left side.
The allowed arrival and departure combination for the Left side of vehicle curb approach is shown.
No U-Turn
3
When the vehicle approaches the incident, the incident can be on either side of the vehicle; however, when it departs, the vehicle must continue in the same direction it arrived. A U-turn is prohibited.
The allowed arrival and departure combinations for the No U-Turn curb approach are shown.
The
Curb
attribute is designed to work with both types of national driving standards: right-hand traffic (United States) and left-hand traffic (United Kingdom). First, consider an incident on the left side of a vehicle. It is always on the left side regardless of whether the vehicle travels on the left or right half of the road. What may change with national driving standards is your decision to approach an incident from one of two directions, that is, so it ends up on the right or left side of the vehicle. For example, if you want to arrive at an incident and not have a lane of traffic between the vehicle and the incident, choose 1 (Right side of vehicle) in the United States and 2 (Left side of vehicle) in the United Kingdom.Approach With right-hand traffic, the curb approach that leaves the vehicle closest to the incident is Right side of vehicle.
With left-hand traffic, the curb approach that leaves the vehicle closest to the incident is Left side of vehicle.
-
Bearingnumber (non-negative)nullable
The direction in which a point is moving. The units are degrees and are measured clockwise from true north.
This attribute is used in conjunction with the
Bearing
attribute. Bearing data is usually sent automatically from a mobile device equipped with a GPS receiver. Try to include bearing data if you are loading an input location that is moving, such as a pedestrian or a vehicle. Using this attribute tends to prevent adding locations to the wrong edges, which can occur when a vehicle is near an intersection or an overpass, for example. Bearing also helps the solver determine the side of the street that the point is on.Tol -
BearingTolnumber (range: 0 - 180)default:30nullable
The bearing tolerance value creates a range of acceptable bearing values when locating moving points on an edge using the
Bearing
attribute.If the
Bearing
attribute value is within the range of acceptable values that are generated from the bearing tolerance on an edge, the point can be added as a network location there; otherwise, the closest point on the next-nearest edge is evaluated. The units are in degrees. A value of 30 means that when Network Analyst attempts to add a network location on an edge, a range of acceptable bearing values is generated 15 degrees to either side of the edge (left and right) and in both digitized directions of the edge. -
NavLatencynumber (non-negative)nullable
Indicates how much cost is expected to elapse from the moment GPS information is sent from a moving vehicle to a server and the moment the processed route is received by the vehicle's navigation device.
This attribute is only used in the solve process if the
Bearing
andBearing
fields also have values; however, providing aTol Nav
attribute value is optional, even when values are present in theLatency Bearing

locate_Settings
Specify settings that affect how inputs are located, such as the maximum search distance to use when locating the inputs on the network or the network sources being used for locating.
The default value is as follows:
{
"default": {
"tolerance": 20000,
"toleranceUnits": "esriMeters",
"allowAutoRelocate": true,
"sources": [
{
"name": "main.Routing_Streets"
}

}
}
You can specify locate settings and can override locate settings for individual features such as, incidents, facilities, point_barriers, line_barriers, and polygon_barriers through locator JSON object.
Show examples
Example for locate_settings
Example 1: Specify locate settings using a JSON structure
This example shows how to specify locate settings so inputs are only located within 500 meters of the specified location. A small search tolerance like this can be helpful if you are solving using a walking travel mode and don't want inputs to be located farther than 500 meters from the original point location.
{
"default": {
"tolerance": 500,
"toleranceUnits": "esriMeters",
"allowAutoRelocate": true,
"sources": [
{
"name": "Routing_Streets"
}
]
}
}
number_of_facilities_to_find
Specify the number of closest facilities to find per incident.
This is useful in situations in which multiple fire engines may be required from different fire stations, such as a fire. You can specify, for example, to find the three nearest fire stations to a fire. The value for this parameter can be overridden on a per-incident basis by specifying a value for the Target
attribute when specifying the incidents
parameter.
cutoff
Specify the travel time or travel distance value at which to stop searching for facilities for a given incident.
For example, while finding the closest hospitals from the site of an accident, a cutoff value of 15 minutes means that the tool will search for the closest hospital within 15 minutes from the incident. If the closest hospital is 17 minutes away, no routes will be returned in the output routes. A cutoff value is especially useful when searching for multiple facilities.
When the travel
parameter is set to Facility to Incident
, the cutoff can be overridden on a per-facility basis using the Cutoff
field in the input facilities. When the travel
parameter is set to Incident to Facility
, the cutoff can be overridden on a per-incident basis using the Cutoff
field in the input incidents.
The units for this parameter are specified by the measurement
parameter. The default value for this parameter is null
, which indicates not to use any cutoff.
travel_direction
Allowed values: Facility to Incident
, Incident to Facility
Specify how the travel direction for the closest facility search will be measured.
This parameter can be specified using the following values:
Facility to Incident
—Direction of travel is from facilities to incidents.Incident to Facility
—Direction of travel is from incidents to facilities.
Using one of the parameter values can find different facilities because the travel time along some streets may vary based on traffic and one-way restrictions. For instance, a facility may be a 10-minute drive from the incident while traveling from the incident to the facility, but while traveling from the facility to the incident, it may be a 15-minute journey because traffic is slower in that direction. If you're setting a value for time
, traffic may also cause the Facility to Incident
and Incident to Facility
options to return different results.
Fire departments commonly use the Facility to Incident
value for the parameter since they're concerned with the time it takes to travel from the fire station (facility) to the location of the emergency (incident). A retail store (facility) is more concerned with the time it takes the shoppers (incidents) to reach the store; therefore, stores commonly use the Incident to Facility
parameter value.
measurement_units
Allowed values: Meters
, Kilometers
, Feet
, Yards
, Nautical
, Seconds
, Minutes
, Hours
, Days
Specify the units that should be used to report the total travel time or travel distance for the output routes.
The service finds the closest facility based on the travel time or the travel distance along the streets, depending on whether the units you specify as the value for this parameter are time- or distance-based.
analysis_region
Allowed values: Europe
, Japan
, Korea
, Middle
, North
, South
, South
, Thailand
Specify the region in which to perform the analysis. If a value is not specified for this parameter, the service will automatically calculate the region name based on the location of the input points. Setting the name of the region is recommended to speed up the analysis.
The data coverage page lists the countries that are grouped into each of these regions.
time_of_day
Specify the time and date to depart from or arrive at incidents or facilities.
Specifying a time of day results in more accurate estimations of travel times because the travel times account for the traffic conditions that are applicable for that date and time.
To use traffic in the analysis, choose a time-based unit for impedance
and assign a value to time
.
The time
value represents the target start time or arrive time of the routes in the analysis. If time
is set to End Time
, the value represents when the routes should arrive at their nearby locations. The time is specified as Unix time (milliseconds since midnight, January 1, 1970).
If a time of day is not passed in, the service uses static road speeds based on average historical speeds or posted speed limits. It uses posted speeds in areas where historical traffic information isn't available.
If the time
specified is within 4 hours of the current time, live traffic will be used where available. Live traffic retrieves speeds based on phone probe records, sensors, and other data sources and reflects the current travel speeds and predicts speeds for the near future. If the time
specified is earlier than 4 hours or later than 4 hours from the current time, or the road does not have live traffic, typical traffic speeds will be used. Typical speeds are based on historical traffic patterns. The travel time data is aggregated in 15 minute intervals per day of week based on multiple years worth of data. So a road may have a different travel time at Monday at 8 am, Monday at 8:15 am, or Tuesday at 8 am. Since the variance is just at the day of week and time of day, the travel time is the same on a road for any Monday at 8 am, regardless of the month or year.
If your goal is to model typical travel conditions and avoid large variances from the average due to live traffic, it is recommended to use a date from the past to ensure it doesn't coincide with the 4 hour window from the current time. As an extreme example, you can even use dates from 1990.
The Data Coverage page shows the countries Esri currently provides traffic data for.
The service support two kinds of traffic: live and typical.
Typical traffic
To ensure the task uses typical traffic in locations where it is available, choose a time and day of the week, and then convert the day of the week to one of the following dates from 1990:
- Monday—1/1/1990
- Tuesday—1/2/1990
- Wednesday—1/3/1990
- Thursday—1/4/1990
- Friday—1/5/1990
- Saturday—1/6/1990
- Sunday—1/7/1990
Set the time and date as Unix time in milliseconds. For example, to solve for 1:03 p.m. on Thursdays, set the time and date to 1:03 p.m., January 4, 1990; and convert to milliseconds (631458180000
). Although the dates representing days of the week are from 1990, typical traffic is calculated from recent traffic trends—usually over the last two years worth of data.
All facilities and incidents must be in the same time zone when you are doing any of the following:
- Specifying a start time and traveling from incident to facility
- Specifying an end time and traveling from facility to incident
- Specifying a start time and traveling from facility to incident
- Specifying an end time and traveling from incident to facility
Live traffic
To use live traffic when and where it is available, choose a time and date and convert to Unix time.
Esri saves live traffic data for 4 hours and references predictive data extending 4 hours into the future. If the time and date you specify for this parameter is outside the 8-hour time window, or the travel time in the analysis continues past the predictive data window, the task falls back to typical traffic speeds.

Specify whether to restrict or permit the route from making U-turns at junctions.
To understand the available parameter values, a junction is a point where only two streets intersect each other. If three or more streets intersect at a point, it is called as an intersection. A cul-de-sac is a dead-end.

point_barriers
Specify one or more points that will act as temporary restrictions or represent additional time or distance that may be required to travel on the underlying streets. For example, a point barrier can be used to represent a fallen tree along a street or a time delay spent at a railroad crossing.
When specifying point barriers, you can set properties for each, such as its name or barrier type.

Specify the direction of traffic that is affected by the barrier. The field value is specified as one of the following integers:
0
: Either side of vehicle. The barrier affects travel over the edge in both directions.1
: Right side of vehicle. Vehicles are only affected if the barrier is on their right side during the approach. Vehicles that traverse the same edge but approach the barrier on their left side are not affected by the barrier.2
: Vehicles are only affected if the barrier is on their left side during the approach. Vehicles that traverse the same edge but approach the barrier on their right side are not affected by the barrier.
Because junctions are points and don't have a side, barriers on junctions affect all vehicles regardless of the curb approach.

BarrierTypeint enumdefault:0
Allowed values:
0
,2
Specify whether the point barrier restricts travel completely or adds time or distance when it is crossed.
The value for this attribute is specified as one of the following integers:
-
0
: Restriction. Prohibits travel through the barrier. The barrier is referred to as a restriction point barrier since it acts as a restriction.The first map shows the shortest path between two stops without any restriction point barriers. The second map has a road that is blocked by a fallen tree, so the shortest path between the same points is longer.
2
: Added Cost. Traveling through the barrier increases the travel time or distance by the amount specified in theAdditional
,_Time Additional
, or_Distance Additional
attribute. This barrier type is referred to as an added cost point barrier.Cost
The map on the left shows the shortest path between two stops without any added cost point barrier. For the map on the right, the travel time from stop one to stop two would be the same whether going around the north end of the block or the south end; however, since crossing railroad tracks incurs a time penalty (modeled with added cost point barriers), the route with only one railroad crossing is chosen. The cost of crossing the barrier is added to the accumulated travel time of the resulting route.

AdditionalCostnumber (non-negative)default:0
The added cost when the barrier is traversed. This attribute is applicable only for added-cost barriers. The attribute value must be greater than or equal to zero.
-
Bearingnumber (non-negative)nullable
The direction in which a point is moving. The units are degrees and are measured clockwise from true north.
This attribute is used in conjunction with the
Bearing
attribute. Bearing data is usually sent automatically from a mobile device equipped with a GPS receiver. Try to include bearing data if you are loading an input location that is moving, such as a pedestrian or a vehicle. Using this attribute tends to prevent adding locations to the wrong edges, which can occur when a vehicle is near an intersection or an overpass, for example. Bearing also helps the solver determine the side of the street that the point is on.Tol -
BearingTolnumber (range: 0 - 180)default:30nullable
The bearing tolerance value creates a range of acceptable bearing values when locating moving points on an edge using the
Bearing
attribute.If the
Bearing
attribute value is within the range of acceptable values that are generated from the bearing tolerance on an edge, the point can be added as a network location there; otherwise, the closest point on the next-nearest edge is evaluated. The units are in degrees. A value of 30 means that when Network Analyst attempts to add a network location on an edge, a range of acceptable bearing values is generated 15 degrees to either side of the edge (left and right) and in both digitized directions of the edge. -
NavLatencynumber (non-negative)nullable
Indicates how much cost is expected to elapse from the moment GPS information is sent from a moving vehicle to a server and the moment the processed route is received by the vehicle's navigation device.
This attribute is only used in the solve process if the

fields also have values; however, providing aTol Nav
attribute value is optional, even when values are present in theLatency Bearing

line_barriers
Specify one or more lines that prohibit travel anywhere the lines intersect the streets. For example, a parade or protest that blocks traffic across several street segments can be modeled with a line barrier. A line barrier can also quickly fence off several roads from being traversed, thereby channeling possible routes away from undesirable parts of the street network.

The first map displays the shortest path between two stops. The second map shows the shortest path when several streets are blocked by a polyline barrier.

Allowed values:

,1
Specify polygons that either completely restrict travel or proportionately scale the time or distance required to travel on the streets intersected by the polygons.
The value for this attribute can be specified as one of the following integers:
-
0
: Restriction. Prohibits traveling through any part of the barrier. The barrier is referred to as a restriction polygon barrier since it prohibits traveling on streets intersected by the barrier. One use of this type of barrier is to model floods covering areas of the street that make traveling on those streets impossible.The first map depicts the shortest path between two stops. The second map shows a polygon barrier blocking flooded streets, so the shortest path between the same two stops is different.
-
1
: Scaled Cost. Scales the cost (such as travel time or distance) required to travel the underlying streets by a factor specified using theScaled
orTime Factor Scaled
attribute.Distance Factor If the streets are partially covered by the barrier, the travel time or distance is apportioned and then scaled. For example, a factor of 0.25 means that travel on underlying streets is expected to be four times faster than normal. A factor of 3.0 means it is expected to take three times longer than normal to travel on underlying streets. This barrier type is referred to as a scaled-cost polygon barrier. It can be used to model storms that reduce travel speeds in specific regions, for example.
The first map shows a route that goes through inclement weather without regard for the effect that poor road conditions have on travel time. The second map shows a scaled polygon barrier that doubles the travel time of the roads covered by the storm. The route still passes through the southern tip of the storm since it is quicker to spend more time driving slowly through a small part of the storm rather than driving completely around it. The service uses the modified travel time in calculating the best route, and the modified travel time is reported as the total travel time in the response.

ScaledTimeFactornumber (non-negative)default:1
This is the factor by which the travel time of the streets intersected by the barrier is multiplied. The field value must be greater than zero.

parameter is time-based._units -
ScaledDistanceFactornumber (non-negative)default:1
This is the factor by which the distance of the streets intersected by the barrier is multiplied. The field value must be greater than zero.
This field is applicable only for scaled-cost barriers and when the

parameter is distance-based._units -
ScaledCostFactornumber (non-negative)default:1
The scaled cost when the barrier is traversed. This attribute is applicable only for scaled-cost barriers. The attribute value must be greater than or equal to zero.
This field is applicable only for scaled-cost barriers when the impedance is neither time-based nor distance-based.
Show example
This example shows how to add two polygons as barriers. The first polygon, Flood zone, is a restriction polygon barrier that prohibits travel on the underlying streets. The polygon is a single-part polygon feature composed of four points. The second polygon, Severe weather zone, is a scaled-cost polygon barrier that reduces the travel time on underlying streets to one-third of the original value. The polygon is a two-part polygon feature. Both parts are composed of four points.

use_hierarchy
Specify whether hierarchy will be used when finding the shortest paths.
true
—Use hierarchy when travelling between stops. When hierarchy is used, the service prefers higher-order streets (such as freeways) to lower-order streets (such as local roads) and can be used to simulate the driver preference of traveling on freeways instead of local roads even if that means a longer trip. This is especially true when finding routes to faraway locations, because drivers on long-distance trips tend to prefer traveling on freeways where stops, intersections, and turns can be avoided. Using hierarchy is computationally faster, especially for long-distance routes, since the service can determine the best route from a relatively smaller subset of streets.false
—Do not use hierarchy when travelling between stops. When hierarchy is not used, the service considers all the streets and doesn't prefer higher-order streets when finding the route. This is often used when finding short-distance routes within a city.
restrictions
Specify whether the restrictions will be honored by the service.
A restriction represents a driving preference or requirement. In most cases, restrictions cause roads or pathways to be prohibited, but they can also cause them to be avoided or preferred. For instance, using the Avoid Toll Roads
restriction will result in a route that will include toll roads only when it is required to travel on toll roads to visit a stop. Use Height Restriction
to route around clearances that are lower than the height of the vehicle. If the vehicle is carrying corrosive materials, you can use the Any Hazmat Prohibited
restriction to prevent hauling the materials along roads where it is marked as illegal to do so.
The parameter value is specified as a comma-separated list of restriction names. A value of null
indicates that no restrictions will be used when finding the best route, but only when travel
is set to Custom
.

distance_impedance
Allowed values: Miles

Specify distance-based impedance.
The value represents the travel distance along road segments or on other parts of the transportation network.
Miles
—Length measurements along roads are stored in miles and can be used for performing analysis based on shortest distance.Kilometers
—Length measurements along roads are stored in kilometers and can be used for performing analysis based on shortest distance.
impedance
Allowed values: Travel
, Minutes
, Truck
, Truck
, Walk
, Miles
, Kilometers
Specify the impedance.
Impedance is a value that quantifies travel along the transportation network. Travel distance is an example of impedance; it quantifies the length of walkways and road segments. Similarly, drive time—the typical time it takes to drive a car along a road segment—is an example of impedance. Drive times may vary by type of vehicle—for instance, the time it takes for a truck to travel along a path tends to be longer than a car—so there can be many impedance values representing travel times for different vehicle types. Impedance values may also vary with time; live and typical traffic reference dynamic impedance values. Each walkway and road segment stores at least one impedance value. When performing a network analysis, the impedance values are used to calculate the best results, such as finding the shortest route—the route that minimizes impedance—between two points.
The parameter can be specified using the following values:
Travel
—Historical and live traffic data is used. This option is good for modeling the time it takes automobiles to travel along roads at a specific time of day using live traffic speed data where available. When usingTime Travel
, you can optionally set the TravelTime::Vehicle Maximum Speed (km/h) attribute parameter to specify the physical limitation of the speed the vehicle is capable of traveling.Time Minutes
—Live traffic data is not used, but historical average speeds for automobiles data is used.Truck
—Historical and live traffic data is used, but the speed is capped at the posted truck speed limit. This is good for modeling the time it takes for the trucks to travel along roads at a specific time. When usingTravel Time Truck
, you can optionally set the TruckTravelTime::Vehicle Maximum Speed (km/h) attribute parameter to specify the physical limitation of the speed the truck is capable of traveling.Travel Time Truck
—Live traffic data is not used, but the smaller of the historical average speeds for automobiles and the posted speed limits for trucks are used.Minutes Walk
—The default is a speed of 5 km/hr on all roads and paths, but this can be configured through the WalkTime::Walking Speed (km/h) attribute parameter.Time Miles
—Length measurements along roads are stored in miles and can be used for performing analysis based on shortest distance.Kilometers
—Length measurements along roads are stored in kilometers and can be used for performing analysis based on shortest distance.
If you choose a time-based impedance, such as Travel
, Truck
, Minutes
, Truck
, or Walk
, the measurement
parameter must be set to a time-based value; if you choose a distance-based impedance such as Miles
, Kilometers
, the measurement
must be distance-based.
route_shape
Allowed values: True Shape
, True Shape with Measures
, Straight Line
, None
Specify the type of route features that are output by the service. The parameter can be specified using one of the following values:
True Shape
—Return the exact shape of the resulting route that is based on the underlying streets. Since this option creates the most detailed geometry for the output routes, choosing it tends to make the process run longer and create larger output files.True Shape with Measures
—Return the exact shape of the resulting route that is based on the underlying streets. Additionally, construct measures so the shape may be used in linear referencing. The measurements increase from the first stop and record the cumulative travel time or travel distance in the units specified by themeasurement
parameter._units Straight Line
—Return a straight line between the route start and end.None
—Do not return any route shapes. This value can be useful in cases where you want to optimize performance and are only interested in determining the route's total travel time or travel distance, but not the route paths.
When the route
parameter is set to True Shape
, or True Shape with Measure
, the generalization of the route shape can be further controlled using the appropriate value for the route
parameter.
No matter which value you choose for the route
parameter, the best route is always determined by minimizing the travel time or the travel distance, never using the straight-line distance between stops. This means that only the route shapes are different, not the underlying streets that are searched when finding the route.
route_line_simplification_tolerance
Specify the simplification level for the route geometry returned by the service.
Simplification maintains critical points on a route, such as turns at intersections, to define the essential shape of the route and removes other points. The simplification distance you specify is the maximum allowable offset that the simplified line can deviate from the original line. Simplifying a line reduces the number of vertices that are part of the route geometry. This reduces the overall response size and also improves the performance for drawing the route shapes in applications.
This parameter is relevant only when route
is set to True Shape
or True Shape with Measures
because the other route
options cannot be simplified further.
The parameter is specified as a JSON structure that includes the following properties:
distance
—The simplification distance value.units
—The units for the simplification distance value. The property value should be specified as one of the following values:esri

usage_cost
This parameter returns the credits used by the analysis.
Example
The following shows an example of the usage
parameter in which the analysis generated 9 billable objects (represented by numObjects ) and 4.5 credits were used by the analysis.

"value": {
"numObjects": 9,
"credits": 4.5
}
}
solve_succeeded
Determine if the service was able to complete successfully. The error messages for the failure can be obtained by making a request to get the status of the job.
Example
The following shows an example of the solve
parameter
{
"paramName": "solve_succeeded",
"dataType": "GPBoolean",
"value": true
}
Examples
Find the closest fire stations
In this example, you will find the two fire stations that can provide the quickest response to a fire at a given address. You will also generate routes and driving directions for the firefighters.
All the fire stations in the neighborhood are specified as the facilities
parameter, and the location of the fire is specified as the incidents
parameter. To include the name of the fire station in the driving directions, specify the name as the attribute of the facilities. For facilities
and incidents
, the geometries are in the default spatial reference, WGS84. So the spatial
property is not required.
Because you want to model the fire engines traveling from the stations to the location of the fire, you specify Facility to Incident
as the value for the travel
parameter. You need to find the two closest fire stations within three minutes of the fire, so specify 2 as the value for the number
parameter and 3 as the value for the cutoff
parameter. You need to calculate the best routes that account for the current traffic conditions, so specify the current time as the time
parameter and specify Start Time
as the time
parameter.
