This tool calculates and plots the fastest route between points, by the chosen method of transport. It returns complete multi-modal turn-by-turn directions.
Only the key parameter fields are configurable. The more complex parameter fields (available in the Advanced tool) take standard, sensible values.
| Parameter | Description | Data Type |
|---|---|---|
| Departure Locations | The point layer of departure locations | Picklist |
| Travel Mode | Method of transport | Picklist |
| Time Zone | Time zone | Picklist |
| Departing / Arriving | Whether the chosen time will be a departure or arrival time | Picklist |
| Departing / Arriving Time | The departure or arrival time. This will get updated as per the time zone selected. | Calendar Format - dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm |
| Arrival Locations | The point layer of arrival locations | Picklist |
| Output Style | 1. By travel time - returns one linestring per end-to-end route, colour-coded by total journey time 2. By transport type - returns one linestring per route segment, colour-coded by method of transport 3. By journey – returns one linestring per end-to-end route | Picklist |
| Output Layer | Where to save the output layer – NB must be saved into the project Geodatabase | Folder connection |
The information generated in the Attribute Table differs based on the Output Style selected:
- By transport type – generates detailed turn-by-turn directions, with one line for each leg of each route
- By travel time / By journey – generates a summarized output, with one line per end-to-end route
