Details of changes to the ArcGIS Pro add-in, from v3.3 onwards.
- Data toolset - Brings TravelTime Data API layers (Demographics, Places, Open spaces and Neighbourhood) into the add-in:
- Data from H3 Cells - Reads data for an existing layer of H3 cells.
- Data from Locations - Takes a layer of points plus travel time settings, and works out each location's catchment itself.
- Three Output Types - For both tools:
- Totals - One row per catchment.
- Per cell - One hexagon per cell, with a choice of H3 resolution for Places (6–10) and Open spaces (9 or 10).
- Features - The individual places or open spaces, as points.
- Filters chosen from lists - For Places, pick a group, then its categories and sub-categories. For Open spaces, pick Green Spaces or Beaches. For Neighbourhood, pick from noise, air quality, flood, crime, deprivation and broadband.
- Styled outputs - Each Neighbourhood measure is added as its own layer. Places per cell is coloured by count, and Open spaces per cell shows green space or not.
- Quick Data - In the toolbar ribbon. It returns data for one address or a point picked on the map, adds the styled layer and shows the results in a window.
- TravelTime rebrand - New icons and logo in the current TravelTime brand.
- Renamed tools - Quick Time Map is now Quick Isochrone, and Quick Time Filter is now Quick Matrix.
- Oversized dialogs - Dialogs now always open at their intended size.
- Territory Map - Allocates reachable H3 cells to the input point that reaches it quickest, resulting in a travel time catchment map with no overlaps, and one territory per location.
- Reachability Heatmap - Generates a coverage map showing how multiple catchment areas overlap with each other..
- Doughnut Areas - Generates configurable travel times rings around a set of locations.
- Cannibalisation - Calculates the overlapping catchment areas between one set of locations and another.
- Location Allocation - Chooses which of a set of candidate sites to open and allocates demand to them over travel times, covering the seven Esri location-allocation problem types.
- Support for ArcGIS Pro 3.3 - 3.5 - A separate download with the same tools as the main one. Pro 3.6 and later should continue to use the main download.
- Combined isochrones that lost a location - An INTERSECTION isochrone that could not include one of its locations now reports the failure, instead of writing a shape that silently omits it.
- Core tools - A new set of tools running on TravelTime's /fast endpoints. These offer faster response times, particularly for large matrices. They support fewer customisable parameters and fewer countries. Use the Custom tools where you need wider coverage.
- H3 tools - Access to the /h3 (Custom) and /h3/fast (Core) endpoints of the TravelTime API. Catchment areas are returned as reachable H3 cells, with the travel times to each reachable cell.
- New parameters - The existing Simple and Advanced tools have been consolidated into the Custom tools, and extended with many new parameters.
- Geocoding - Access to the /geocoding/search endpoint of the TravelTime API, allowing addresses to be converted into lat-long coordinates in a new point layer.
- Robust Mode - A new option in the add-in Settings (on by default) that reports a failed search (e.g an unreachable location), skips it and keeps the rest of the results. With it disabled, any failed search stops the run.
- Hits Per Minute limit - A new option in the add-in Settings (off by default) that allows you to set a throttle on requests, to enable you to stay within your licence limits and prevent 429 errors.
- The toolbox is now a Python toolbox, TravelTime.pyt - There are now three toolsets: Core, Custom and Other.
- Runs survive a poor connection - Dropped connections are retried and hung requests time out. A run stopped early keeps the results it already fetched, and tells you that running the tool again restarts from the beginning rather than resuming.
- Proxy support - Requests now go through your machine's configured proxy, including proxies that require a user name and password.
- The Simple, Advanced and Batch tools, and the TravelTime_Platform.tbx toolbox they lived in. Models and scripts that refer to them by name will need pointing at the new tools.
