GET  https://route-api.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World/OriginDestinationCostMatrix/NAServer/OriginDestinationCostMatrix_World/solveODCostMatrix

The /solveODCostMatrix direct request can be used to create an origin-destination (OD) cost matrix from multiple origins to multiple destinations. A travel cost matrix is a table that contains the cost, such as the travel time or travel distance, from every origin to every destination. It also ranks the destinations that each origin connects to in ascending order based on the minimum cost required to travel from that origin to each destination. When generating a travel cost matrix, you can specify the maximum number of destinations to find for each origin and the maximum time or distance to travel when searching for destinations.

origins

Specify the locations that function as starting points in generating the paths to destinations.

When specifying the origins, you can set attributes for each as follows:

Show attributes for origins

Attributes for origins

  • Namestring (length: 500)nullable

    The name of the origin. The name can be a unique identifier for the origin.

    If outputType is esriNAODOutputStraightLines or esriNAODOutputNoLines, the name is included in the output lines Name field (the output lines name will be origin name – destination name). The name is also included in the output origins as the Name field.

    If the name is not specified, a unique name prefixed with Location is automatically generated.

  • ObjectIDinteger (non-negative)nullable

    The object ID of the origin.

    ObjectID is a unique identifier for the origin. If the outputType value is esriNAODOutputStraightLines or esriNAODOutputNoLines, the ObjectID value is included in the output lines (as the OriginID field). If outputType is esriNAODOutputSparseMatrix, the ObjectID value is included in the output matrix. The ObjectID value is also included in the output origins (as the ObjectID field) and can be used to join additional information from analysis outputs to the attribute of the origins. If the ObjectID value is not specified, a unique ID is automatically generated in the output.

  • TargetDestinationCountinteger

    The maximum number of destinations to find for the origin.

    If a value is not specified, the value from the defaultTargetDestinationCount parameter is used.

    This field allows you to specify a different number of destinations to find for each origin. For example, using this field, you can find the three closest destinations from one origin and the two closest destinations from another origin.

  • Cutoff_[Impedance]number (non-negative)

    If you want to stop searching for destinations once the search has exceeded a certain impedance value, specify a Cutoff_[Impedance] field value for your origin.

    This is the impedance attribute name in the analysis, or the impedance name of the travel mode if you specify a travel mode. This attribute allows you to specify a different cutoff value for each destination.

    For example, using this attribute, you can specify to search for destinations within five minutes of travel time from one origin and to search for destinations within eight minutes of travel time from another origin.

    The units of the cutoff are the same as the units of the impedance attribute. If a value is not specified, the defaultCutoff parameter value is used.

  • CurbApproachint enumdefault:0

    Allowed values: 0, 1, 2, 3

    Specify the direction a vehicle can depart from the origin. The field value is specified as one of the following integers:

    • 0: Either side of vehicle. The vehicle can depart the origin in either direction. U-turns are allowed. You should choose this setting if your vehicle can make a U-turn at the origin or if it can pull into a driveway or parking lot and turn around.
    • 1: Right side of vehicle. When the vehicle departs the origin, the curb must be on the right side of the vehicle. A U-turn is prohibited.
    • 2: Left side of vehicle. When the vehicle departs the origin, the curb must be on the left side of the vehicle. A U-turn is prohibited.
    • 3: No U-turn. When the vehicle departs the origin, 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
    SettingCoded valueDescription

    Either side of vehicle

    0

    The vehicle can depart the origin in either direction, so a U-turn is allowed at the origin. This setting can be chosen if it is possible and desirable for a vehicle to turn around at the origin. 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.

    Either side of vehicle

    All arrival and departure combinations are allowed with the Either side of vehicle curb approach.

    Right side of vehicle

    1

    When the vehicle departs the origin, the origin 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.

    Right side of vehicle

    The allowed arrival and departure combination for the Right side of vehicle curb approach is shown.

    Left side of vehicle

    2

    When the vehicle departs the origin, the origin 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.

    Left side of vehicle

    The allowed arrival and departure combination for the Left side of vehicle curb approach is shown.

    No U-Turn

    3

    When the vehicle departs the origin, the origin 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.

    No U-turns

    The allowed arrival and departure combinations for the No U-Turn curb approach are shown.

    The CurbApproach 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 origin 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 depart an origin 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 depart at an origin and not have a lane of traffic between the vehicle and the facility, choose 1 (Right side of vehicle) in the United States and 2 (Left side of vehicle) in the United Kingdom.

     Right side of vehicle with right-hand traffic

    With right-hand traffic, the curb approach that leaves the vehicle closest to the origin is Right side of vehicle.

     Left side of vehicle with left-hand traffic

    With left-hand traffic, the curb approach that leaves the vehicle closest to the origin 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 BearingTol 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.

    Learn more about bearing and bearing tolerance

  • 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.

    Learn more about bearing and bearing tolerance

  • 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 and BearingTol fields also have values; however, providing a NavLatency attribute value is optional, even when values are present in the Bearing and BearingTol.

destinations

Specify the locations that function as ending points in generating the paths from origins.

When specifying the destinations, you can set attributes for each as follows:

Attributes for destinations

  • Namestring (length: 500)nullable

    The name of the destination. The name can be a unique identifier for the destination.

    If outputType is esriNAODOutputStraightLines or esriNAODOutputNoLines, the name is included in the output lines Name field (the output lines name will be origin name – destination name). The name is also included in the output destinations as the Name field.

    If the name is not specified, a unique name prefixed with Location is automatically generated.

  • ObjectIDinteger (non-negative)nullable

    The object ID of the destination.

    ObjectID is a unique identifier for the destination. If the outputType value is esriNAODOutputStraightLines or esriNAODOutputNoLines, the ObjectID value is included in the output lines (as the DestinationID field). If outputType is esriNAODOutputSparseMatrix, the ObjectID value is included in the output matrix. The ObjectID value is also included in the output destinations (as the ObjectID field) and can be used to join additional information from analysis outputs to the attribute of the destinations. If the ObjectID value is not specified, a unique ID is automatically generated in the output.

defaultTargetDestinationCount

Specify the maximum number of destinations to find per origin. If a value for this parameter is not specified, the output matrix includes travel costs from each origin to every destination.

The value for the defaultTargetDestinationCount parameter can be overridden by specifying a value for the TargetDestinationCount attribute when specifying the origins parameter.

defaultCutoff

Specify the travel time or travel distance value at which to stop searching for destinations from a given origin.

The unit for this parameter is based on the unit of the impedance attribute specified using the impedanceAttributeName parameter or the impedanceAttributeName value of the travel mode if a travel mode is specified. If the impedanceAttributeName parameter is TravelTime, the defaultCutoff value is specified in minutes. Otherwise, the value is specified in miles or kilometers based on whether the impedanceAttributeName parameter is set to Miles or Kilometers, respectively.

outputType

Allowed values: esriNAODOutputSparseMatrix, esriNAODOutputStraightLines, esriNAODOutputNoLines

Specify the type of route features that are output by the service. The outputTypeparameter can have one of the following values:

  • esriNAODOutputSparseMatrix—Return the cost between origin and destination using a sparse matrix format.
  • esriNAODOutputStraightLines—Return a straight line between the origin and the destination.
  • esriNAODOutputNoLines—Do not return any shapes for the result.

timeOfDay

Specify the time and date to depart from the origins. You can also specify a value of now to set the depart time from origins to the current time.

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, set impedanceAttributeName to TravelTime, and assign a timeOfDay value.

The timeOfDay value represents the time at which the travel begins from the input origins. The time is specified as Unix time (milliseconds since midnight, January 1, 1970).

If a value of now is passed to the timeOfDay parameter, the travel begins at the current time. This will also override the timeOfDayIsUTC parameter value to be true. When timeOfDay is now and timeOfDayIsUTC is true, the travel will begin or end at input locations at the current time regardless of the time zone of the input locations.

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 timeOfDay 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 timeOfDay 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.

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.

{ "timeOfDay": 631458180000 }

timeOfDayIsUTC

Specify the time zone or zones of the timeOfDay parameter.

  • false—The timeOfDay value refers to the time zone or zones in which the input points are located. This option causes the analysis to have rolling start times across time zones.

    Illustration of setting the value to false (use geographically Local time zone)

    Setting timeOfDay to 9:00 a.m., January 4, 1990 (631443600000 milliseconds); timeOfDayIsUTC to false; and submitting a valid request causes the drive times for points in the eastern time zone to start at 9:00 a.m. eastern Time and 9:00 a.m. central time for points in the central time zone. (The start times are offset by an hour in real or UTC time.)

    Time zone for time of day parameter is set to geographically local
    Input: startTime is 9:00 a.m., January 4, 1990 (631443600000 milliseconds), and startTimeIsUTC is set to false
  • true—The timeOfDay value refers to coordinated universal time (UTC). The start times for all points are simultaneous, regardless of time zones.

    Illustration of setting the value to true (use UTC)

    Setting timeOfDay to 9:00 a.m., January 4, 1990 (631443600000 milliseconds); timeOfDayIsUTC to true, the start times for points in the eastern time zone is 4:00 a.m. eastern Time and 3:00 a.m. central time for those in the central time zone.

    Time zone for time of day parameter is set to UTC
    Input: startTime is 9:00 a.m., January 4, 1990 (631443600000 milliseconds), and startTimeIsUTC is set to true

useHierarchy

Specify whether hierarchy will be used when finding the destinations.

  • true—Use hierarchy when travelling from origins to destinations. 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 from origins to destinations. If hierarchy is not used, the service considers all the streets and doesn't prefer higher-order streets. This is often used when solving problems in a small area with a lot of destination but are specifying a cutoff based on a subset of them.

restrictUTurns

Allowed values: esriNFSBAllowBacktrack, esriNFSBAtDeadEndsAndIntersections, esriNFSBAtDeadEndsOnly, esriNFSBNoBacktrack

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.

Expand to learn more about the available parameter values

This parameter can have the following values:

Parameter ValueDescription

esriNFSBAllowBacktrack

U-turns are permitted everywhere. Permitting U-turns implies that the vehicle can turn around at a junction and double back on the same street.

U-turns permitted

U-turns are permitted at junctions with any number of adjacent streets.

esriNFSBAtDeadEndsAndIntersections

U-turns are prohibited at junctions where exactly two adjacent streets meet.

U-turns permitted only at intersections and dead-ends

U-turns are permitted only at intersections or dead ends.

esriNFSBAtDeadEndsOnly

U-turns are prohibited at all junctions and intersections and are permitted only at dead ends.

U-turns permitted only at dead-ends

U-turns are permitted only at dead ends.

esriNFSBNoBacktrack

U-turns are prohibited at all junctions, intersections, and dead-ends. Even when this parameter value is chosen, a route can still make U-turns at stops. To prohibit U-turns at a stop, you can set its CurbApproach property to the appropriate value (3).

impedanceAttributeName

Allowed values: TravelTime, Minutes, TruckTravelTime, TruckMinutes, WalkTime, 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:

  • TravelTime—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 using TravelTime, 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.
  • Minutes—Live traffic data is not used, but historical average speeds for automobiles data is used.
  • TruckTravelTime—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 using TruckTravelTime, 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.
  • TruckMinutes—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.
  • WalkTime—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.
  • 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.

accumulateAttributeNames

Specify whether the service will accumulate values other than the value specified for impedanceAttributeName.

For example, if impedanceAttributeName is set to TravelTime, the total travel time for the route will be calculated by the service. However, if you also want to calculate the total distance of the route in miles, you can specify Miles as the value for the accumulateAttributeNames parameter.

The parameter value is specified as a comma-separated list of names. The parameter values are the same as the impedanceAttributeName parameter. For example, accumulateAttributeNames=Miles,Kilometers indicates that the total cost of the route will also be calculated in miles and kilometers.

restrictionAttributeNames

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.

This 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 travelMode is set to null.

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.

Show attributes for barriers

Attributes for barriers

  • Namestringnullable

    The name of the barrier.

  • ObjectIDinteger (non-negative)nullable

    The object ID of the barrier. ObjectID is a unique identifier for the barrier. If you want to maintain a relationship between the input and output, set preserveObjectID to true . The ObjectID value of the input barrier is included in the output barrier (as the ObjectID field) and can be used to join additional information from analysis outputs to the attribute of the barriers. If the ObjectID value is not specified, a unique ID is automatically generated in the output.

  • 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.

      Two maps demonstrate how a restriction point barrier affects a route analysis.

      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 the Attr_[Cost] attributes. This barrier type is referred to as an added cost point barrier.
    Two maps demonstrate how added cost point barriers affect a route analysis.

    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.

  • FullEdgeint enumdefault:0

    Allowed values: 0, 1

    Specify how the restriction point barriers are applied to the edge elements during the analysis

    • 0:False—Permits travel on the edge up to the barrier but not through it.
    • 1:True—Restricts travel anywhere on the associated edge.
  • Attr_[Cost]number (non-negative)default:0

    Indicates how the cost (time or distance) is added when the barrier is traversed. This attribute is applicable only for added cost point barriers. The attribute value must be greater than or equal to zero.

polylineBarriers

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.

Two maps demonstrate how a line barrier affects finding a route between two stops.

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.

When specifying line barriers, you can set the name of each barrier using the following attribute:

Show attributes for polylineBarriers

Attributes for polylineBarriers

  • Namestring (length: 500)nullable

    The name of the barrier.

  • ObjectIDinteger (non-negative)nullable

    The object ID of the line barrier. ObjectID is a unique identifier for the line barrier. If you want to maintain a relationship between the input and output, set preserveObjectID to true. The ObjectID value of the input line barrier is included in the output line barrier (as the ObjectID field) and can be used to join additional information from analysis outputs to the attribute of the line barriers. If the ObjectID value is not specified, a unique ID is automatically generated in the output.

Show example

This example shows how to add two lines as polyline barriers to restrict travel on the streets intersected by the lines. Barrier 1 is a single-part line feature composed of two points. Barrier 2 is a two-part line feature. The first part is composed of three points, and the second part is composed of two points.

polygonBarriers

Specify polygons that either completely restrict travel or proportionately scale the time or distance required to travel on the streets intersected by the polygons.

When specifying polygon barriers, you can set properties for each, such as its name or barrier type, using the following attributes:

Show attributes for polygonBarriers

Attributes for polygonBarriers

  • Namestringnullable

    The name of the barrier.

  • ObjectIDinteger (non-negative)nullable

    The object ID of the polygon barrier. ObjectID is a unique identifier for the polygon barrier. If you want to maintain a relationship between the input and output, set preserveObjectID to true. The ObjectID value of the input polygon barrier is included in the output polygon barrier (as the ObjectID field) and can be used to join additional information from analysis outputs to the attribute of the polygon barriers. If the ObjectID value is not specified, a unique ID is automatically generated in the output.

  • BarrierTypeint enumdefault:0

    Allowed values: 0, 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.

      Two maps demonstrate how a restriction polygon barrier affects finding a route between two stops.

      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 the Attr_[Cost] attributes.

      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.

    Two maps demonstrate how a scaled cost polygon barrier affects finding a route between two stops.

    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.

  • Attr_[Cost]number (non-negative)default:0

    This is the factor by which the cost of the streets intersected by the barrier is multiplied. This attribute is applicable only for scaled cost barriers. The attribute value must be greater than zero.

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.

returnOrigins

Specify whether origins will be returned by the service.

  • true—The origins used as input will be returned as part of the origins property in the JSON response.
  • false—The origins will not be returned by the service.

returnDestinations

Specify whether destinations will be returned by the service.

  • true—The destinations used as input will be returned as part of the destinations property in the JSON response.
  • false—The destinations will not be returned by the service.

returnBarriers

Specify whether barriers will be returned by the service

  • true—The input point barriers are returned as part of the barriers property in the JSON response.
  • false—Point barriers are not returned.

For this parameter to take effect, you must also specify a value for the barriers parameter.

If you specified the barriers parameter value using a REST query request to any ArcGIS Server feature, map, or geoprocessing service that returns a JSON feature set, you can set the returnBarriers parameter to true so you can draw the point barrier locations in the application. You can also set the returnBarriers property to true to see where the barriers were located on the street network or, if they weren't located, understand what the problem was by reviewing the Status property in the JSON response.

returnPolylineBarriers

Specify whether polyline barriers will be returned by the service.

  • true—The input polyline barriers are returned as part of the polylineBarriers property in the JSON response.
  • false—Polyline barriers are not returned.

For this parameter to take effect, you must also specify a value for the polylineBarriers parameter.

If you specified the polylineBarriers parameter value using a REST query request to any ArcGIS Server feature, map, or geoprocessing service that returns a JSON feature set, you can set the returnPolylineBarriers parameter to true so you can draw the polyline barrier locations in the application.

returnPolygonBarriers

Specify whether polygon barriers will be returned by the service.

  • true—The input polygon barriers are returned as part of the polygonBarriers property in the JSON response.
  • false—Polygon barriers are not returned.

For this parameter to take effect, you must also specify a value for the polygonBarriers parameter.

If you specified the polygonBarriers parameter value using a REST query request to any ArcGIS Server feature, map, or geoprocessing service that returns a JSON feature set, you can set the returnPolygonBarriers parameter to true so you can draw the polygon barrier locations in the application.

geometryPrecision

Specify the number of decimal places that will be used in the response geometries returned by the solve operation. This applies to x- and y-values only (not m- or z-values).

geometryPrecision = 3

ignoreInvalidLocations

Specify whether invalid input locations will be ignored.

  • true—Network locations that are unlocated will be ignored and the analysis will run using valid network locations only. The analysis will also continue if locations are on non-traversable elements or have other errors. This is useful if you know the network locations are not all correct, but you want to run the analysis with the network locations that are valid.
  • false—Invalid locations will not be ignored. Do not run the analysis if there are invalid locations. Correct the invalid locations and rerun the analysis.

context

This parameter contains additional settings that affect task operation, for example, the spatial reference of the output features.

overrides

returnEmptyResults

Specify whether the service will return empty results instead of the error property when the request fails.

  • true—The JSON response doesn't contain the error property when the request fails. All errors are returned in the messages property. The response JSON may contain an empty feature set or empty result for the properties you requested.
  • false—The JSON response only contains the error property when the request fails.

Typically when a request fails, the service will return a JSON response that contains the error property. In some cases, you might want to set returnEmptyResults to true so it always returns properties you requested instead of returning an error response to help handle the response in a more consistent way.

Even if the request fails, when you set returnEmptyResults= true and returnStops= true, you can return stops to investigate why some of them failed to locate.

Response details

The JSON response from the OD cost matrix service is based on the following syntax when outputType is esriNAODOutputSparseMatrix. The properties returned in the response are based on the request parameters. For example, the origins property is returned only if the returnOrigins parameter is set to true. If a request fails, the JSON response only contains the error property.

For a list of error codes and details, go to Direct request error codes

The examples in the subsequent section illustrate the response returned with specific request parameters.

odLines output is generated when the outputType parameter is set to esriNAODOutputNoLines or esriNAODOutputStraightLines. The odLines output include geometry for the straight line connecting each origin-destination pairs when the outputType is esriNAODOutputStraightLines .

Show attributes for od lines
  • ObjectIDintegernullable

    The system-managed ID field.

  • Namestring (length: 500)nullable

    The name of the corresponding input origin and destination feature. The origin name is first and the destination name is second, for example, Origin 1 – Destination 1. If the name is not specified for origin or destination, a unique name prefixed with Location is automatically generated for that origin or destination.

  • OriginIDintegernullable

    The ObjectID value of the corresponding input origin feature. This can be used to join additional attributes between the input origins and the origin destination lines.

  • DestinationIDintegernullable

    The ObjectID value of the corresponding input destination feature. This can be used to join additional attributes between the input destinations and the origin-destination lines.

  • DestinationRankintegernullable

    The rank of the destination among all destinations found for the associated origin. The destination that is closest to the origin has a rank of 1.

  • Total_[Cost]number (non-negative)nullable

    The travel cost along the street network from the associated origin to the associated destination. These fields are populated for the impedance attribute and any accumulated attributes.

odCostMatrix

When the outputType is esriNAODOutputSparseMatrix, the output is a JSON object that contains an array identified by costAttributeNames to know what cost attributes are in the matrix and in what index. It then has an associative array of origins (identified by their ObjectID) each of which has an associative array of destinations (identified by their ObjectID) containing an array of costs that are in the same order as the costAttributeNames array.

In the example below, TravelTime is the impedance attribute; and Miles and Kilometers are the accumulate attributes used in the analysis. In the returned matrix that contains the time and distance between origin-destination pair, each nested JSON is composed of origin ObjectID, destination ObjectID, and the costs from origin to destination in the order defined in the costAttributeNames. In the example below, travel from origin ObjectID 1 to destination ObjectID 1 takes 62.88 miles.
