ArcView Network Analyst <br /> <br />J-7871 <br /> <br />Key Features <br /> <br />Gives You the Power <br />to Solve Your <br />Network Analysis <br />Problems <br /> <br />Find the Best Routes <br /> <br />Locate the Closest <br /> Facilities <br /> <br />Build Service Areas <br /> <br />Give Clear Directions <br /> <br />ArcView Network Analyst can be used to route deliveries. Dispatchers can then give <br />couriers detailed directions and instructions and send them on their way. <br /> <br />If a rush order crops up, the dispatcher can use ArcView Network Analyst to determine <br />which of the couriers is closest and provide directions immediately. <br /> <br />ArcView Network Analyst enables you to solve a variety of problems based on <br />geographic networks (i.e., streets, highways, rivers, pipelines, utility lines). Solve <br />problems such as finding the mest efficient travel route across town, generating travel <br />directions, finding the closest emergency vehicle or service facility to an incident, or <br />defining service areas or sales territories based on travel time. <br /> <br />Improve the efficiency of your operations by finding the best routes around town or <br />across the country. Delivery locations can be added by interactively pointing at <br />locations, using mapped locations, or even geocoding an address or street intersection on <br />the fly. ArcView Network Analyst can even reorder your deliveries optimizing their <br />order as needed. <br /> <br />You can find the best routes based on the shortest distance or shortest time between <br />destinations. You can even find the best routes during rush hour and at midnight by <br />changing weighting factors for route calculations. <br /> <br />To solve your problem you need clear directions. ArcView Network Analyst allows you <br />to generate detailed directions across your route, providing as-you-need-it solutions for <br />common problems. <br /> <br />Eliminate guesswork--locate the closest available resource instantly. Dispatch the <br />closest vehicle to a location, or find the nearest valve in critical situations. Weight your <br />decisions on the information that matters most to you--cost, time, and distance. <br /> <br />Locate the closest facility(s) by time or distance. You can even have ArcView Network <br />Analyst report the closest five facilities within a ten-minute drive. ArcView Network <br />Analyst will help you avoid construction and other obstacles, provide the best route for <br />you, and give you clear, accurate directions. <br /> <br />Create a service area around your facility, defined by distance or time. Plan for the <br />future by examining where the "holes" are in existing services. Analyze customer <br />profiles by overlaying planned service areas and census information, showing the areas <br />of potential growth. Build travel areas that can be served by your facilities in five, ten, or <br />fifteen minutes. <br /> <br />AreView Network Analyst lets you create clear directions customized to suit your needs. <br />You can also specify what data are used to generate and the distance units used in the <br />directions. <br /> <br />ArcView Network Analyst also lets you use additional landmark points within your <br />directions. The directions will include these additional data, giving clear easier-to- <br />understand information (e.g., "go one mile past Jefferson School on your left"). <br /> <br />ESRI White Paper 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
