It is hard to say what could be going on. Are you using the online logistics service or local street data network? Perhaps the street data has an invalid spatial index causing the search to be slow or access to the data is slow if it is on an external/cloud drive. You can try creating a fresh project and recreating the layer and see if that fixes the issue. Beyond that you will need to share the VRP layer/data with tech support so they can help diagnose what could be going on. Jay Sandhu ... View more

Are you solving a Location-Allocation problem or Vehicle Routing Problem? How many inputs are being added? i.e. the size maybe large and it might be computing a large cost matrix to start the analysis. Jay Sandhu   ... View more

Generally you can use the Location-Allocation solver for warehouse locations. It will minimize distance to the places you want to deliver to. The inputs are the location of your demand points (places to deliver to) and the candidate facilities from which you can pick your warehouses. You need to use your consumer characteristics and anything else that is important to find a list of suitable candidates that you can input to the location-allocation solver and then solve for the optimal number based on how far you want to deliver to (cutoff).

The features that make up a network dataset can be true three D. That is polyline with Z. However how you take the 3D and turn into useful network costs is up to you. For example, you can compute slopes for each line and use it come up with your travel cost based on vehicle type. Do note that DEM's do not have built features, so you will not be able to figure out bridge heights or tunnels on a road based on a DEM. So, yes, you can add terrain attributes to a network dataset like any other cost, restriction or descriptors and use them in routing. Jay Sandhu ... View more

Glad you found a way to solve your problem. There are a couple of tools that can help create points inside polygons. First, you can use the Polygon to Raster with an appropriate cell size to create an output grid/raster. Then you can use the Raster To Point to convert these into points. These will be spread evenly within your polygon area. You can also choose to use the Create Random Points to sub select a random set from your raster points. Also, the Feature To Point tool can be used to place points on the mid points of selected roads. Hope all these tools will be useful in simplifying point creation! Jay Sandhu ... View more

Perhaps the best way to start is to run through the tutorial for creating network dataset here: Create a network dataset—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation Say you have a field called segment_score You will need to add a cost attribute called something like segment_cost and then set it to a field script of type python with the result value being !segment_score! Hope that helps. Jay Sandhu ... View more

Just an FYI, Mike Price has written numerous articles about fire station response. You can read some of them here: Mike Price, Author at Esri and Mapping Current and Proposed Effective Fire Response (esri.com) Measuring Firefighter Performance with ArcGIS Pro (esri.com) Regards, Jay Sandhu   ...

The display only shows a limited amount. You can increase the width of the field display in the UI. But how do you plan to use this information? For example, you can use the GP tool Export table and output to a text file. You can also choose to only export that one field you want like so:   Jay ... View more

Are you looking to create an Origin Destination cost matrix of air miles or highway drive miles between the airports? Just having a location of airports and connecting them with straight lines does not mean that there is any actual air service between the airports. Regards, Jay Sandhu ... View more

Basically yes. But I would still look at each restriction and understand what you are turning off as you do so. Regards, Jay ... View more

It depends on what kind of restrictions are present in your network dataset. There may be some you could turn off and some you may want to leave on. For example, you could turn off one-way's and turn restrictions off but you have no way of knowing how fast you can travel the wrong way on a one-way restricted road. You may not want to turn off bike lanes or dirt roads as the police vehicle may not be able to use those lanes. So in general you should route with the correct travel mode and perhaps turn off some restrictions such as turns. You can also as the local police drivers what restrictions they are willing to ignore to get somewhere fast. Jay Sandhu ... View more

Have you checked if you have a read only file share? Or you can try to copy it to another location and see if that works? Jay Sandhu ... View more
