Description
The Route activity finds routes between two or more locations and optionally, get driving directions using ArcGIS Server network analysis services.
Usage
You may need to find directions from one place to another. You could get the user's current location using the Get Current Position activity then use the Route activity to find directions from the user's current position to another point of your choice.
Inputs
Url |
Required Type: String The URL to the ArcGIS network analysis service. For example, http://server/arcgis/rest/services/<serviceName>/NAServer/<layerName>. |
Stops |
Optional Type: esri.DataLayer (3.x, 4.x)* | esri.FeatureSet (3.x, 4.x)* The set of stops loaded as network locations during analysis. |
Accumulate Attributes |
Optional Type: String[] The list of network attribute names to be accumulated with the analysis. That is, which attributes should be returned as part of the response. |
Attribute Parameter Values |
Optional Type: esri.AttributeParameterValue (3.x, 4.x)* An object describing the parameter values. If present, an attribute name, parameter name, and value must be specified. |
Barriers |
Optional Type:esri.DataLayer (3.x, 4.x)* | esri.FeatureSet (3.x, 4.x)* The set of point barriers loaded as network locations during analysis. |
Directions Language |
Optional Type: String The language used when computing directions. |
Directions Length Units |
Optional Type: String The length unit to use when computing directions. The default is as defined in the specific routing network layer. Known values: centimeters | decimal-degrees | decimeters | feet | inches | kilometers | meters | miles | millimeters | nautical-miles | points | yards. |
Directions Output Type |
Optional Type: String Defines the amount of direction information returned. The default value is standard. Known values: complete | complete-no-events | instructions-only | standard | summary-only. |
Directions Style Name |
Optional Type: String The style to be used when returning directions. |
Directions Time Attribute |
Optional Type: String The name of network attribute to use for the drive time when computing directions. |
Do Not Locate On Restricted Elements |
Optional Type: Boolean If true, avoids network elements restricted by barriers or restrictions specified in restrictionAttributes. The default value is true. |
Find Best Sequence |
Optional Type: Boolean When the findBestSequence = true, the route solver attempts the optimal sequence to visit the stops. |
Ignore Invalid Locations |
Optional Type: Boolean When false, the solve operation will fail if at least one of the stops specified cannot be located or reached. When true, as long as there are at least two valid stops that have been connected by a route, a valid route is returned. |
Impedance Attribute |
Optional Type: String The network attribute name to be used as the impedance attribute in the analysis. |
Output Geometry Precision |
Optional Type: Number The precision of the output geometry after generalization. |
Output Geometry Precision Units |
Optional Type: String The units of the output geometry precision. Known Values: centimeters | decimal-degrees | decimeters | feet | inches | kilometers | meters | miles | millimeters | nautical-miles | points | yards. |
Output Lines |
Optional Type: String The type of output lines to be generated in the result. The default value is true-shape. Known Values: none | straight | true-shape | true-shape-with-measure. |
Out Spatial Reference |
Optional Type: Number | String | esri.SpatialReference (3.x, 4.x)* The spatial reference for the geometries returned with the analysis results. |
Polygon Barriers |
Optional Type: esri.DataLayer (3.x, 4.x)* | esri.FeatureSet (3.x, 4.x)* The set of polygon barriers loaded as network locations during analysis. |
Polyline Barriers |
Optional Type: esri.DataLayer (3.x, 4.x)* | esri.FeatureSet (3.x, 4.x)* The set of polyline barriers loaded as network locations during analysis. |
Preserve First Stop |
Optional Type: Boolean If true, keeps the first stop fixed in the sequence even when findBestSequence = true. Only applicable if findBestSequence = true. |
Preserve Last Stop |
Optional Type: Boolean If true, keeps the last stop fixed in the sequence even when findBestSequence = true. Only applicable if findBestSequence = true. |
Restriction Attributes |
Optional Type: String[] The list of network attribute names to be used as restrictions with the analysis. |
Restrict UTurns |
Optional Type: String Specifies how U-Turns should be handled. The default is as defined in the specific routing network layer. Known Values: allow-backtrack | at-dead-ends-only | no-backtrack | at-dead-ends-and-intersections. |
Return Barriers |
Optional Type: Boolean If true, barriers are returned with the RouteResult. The default value is false. |
Return Directions |
Optional Type: Boolean If true, directions are returned in the directions property of each RouteResult. The default value is false. |
Return Polygon Barriers |
Optional Type: Boolean If true, polygon barriers are returned in the RouteResult. The default value is false. |
Return Polyline Barriers |
Optional Type: Boolean If true, polyline barriers are returned in the RouteResult. The default value is false. |
Return Routes |
Optional Type: Boolean If true, routes are generated and returned in the route property of each RouteResult. The default value is true. |
Return Stops |
Optional Type: Boolean If true, stops are returned in the stops property of each RouteResult. The default value is false. |
Return Z |
Optional Type: Boolean If true, z values are returned in the RouteResult. The default value is true. |
Start Time |
Optional Type: Date The time the route begins. |
Start Time Is UTC |
Optional Type: Boolean If true, the start time will be in UTC format. |
Use Hierarchy |
Optional Type: Boolean If true, the hierarchy attribute for the network should be used in analysis. |
Use Time Windows |
Optional Type: [Boolean A useful feature of the RouteTask is the ability to constrain stop visits to certain times of day, or "time windows". |
