Travel obeys one-way roads, avoids illegal turns, and follows other rules that are specific to cars but does not discourage travel on unpaved roads. Models the movement of cars and other similar small automobiles, such as pickup trucks, and finds solutions that optimize travel distance. If generating holes or reachable streets in the output, the duration cannot exceed 5 hours.

A duration of up to 9 hours can be used as input. The walking speed can be configured by the administrator of your organization.ĭurations can be in Seconds, Minutes, or Hours. Walking speed is set at 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) per hour. The walking speed is set to 5 kilometers per hour. The default distance measure will be in Miles or Kilometers, depending on the Units setting in your profile.įollows paths and roads that allow pedestrian traffic and finds solutions that optimize travel time. The administrator can also add new travel modes or remove travel modes that are not necessary for your organization. Travel modes can be configured by the administrator of your organization. Times for typical conditions can be set by 15-minute intervals for the entire day and night. Live traffic conditions can be offset up to 4 hours from the current time.

When traffic conditions are used, they may be based on live conditions or typical conditions for a specified day of the week and time. Some travel modes have an option for using traffic conditions. You can create multiple output areas by inputting each time or distance, separated by a space. The drive-time area can be based on several different travel modes using time or distance as the measure. The input is a single layer of points containing up to 1,000 features. See the Locating a new retirement community case study for the complete workflow. The target demographics for the new retirement community will be based on the demographics within a 5-mile driving distance of the best performing community. See the Investigating response times case study for the complete workflow.Ī development company is planning to build a new retirement community and wants to learn more about the demographics in the area surrounding existing communities.

She also wants to determine what the response time would be in the furthest-to-reach parts of the city. She wants to determine how much of the city is within a four-minute drive time of the city's fire stations in heavy and light traffic. The Create Drive-Time Areas tool uses Esri Service Areas to calculate the area that can be reached within a specified travel time or travel distance along a street network based on travel mode.Ī local reporter is working on a story about response times to fires in her city. To learn more, see Generate Travel Areas. This tool is now available in Map Viewer, the modern map-making tool in ArcGIS Online.
