My job is to create optimum routes so that all stops are covered. There are some constraints though. Each route should not have more than 15 stops and should not be more than 20 miles.&nbsp;</P><P></P><P>I used Plan Routes Analysis option in ArcGIS Online. I have options to restrict time and number of stops but not distance. The priority has to be given to distance travelled by each vehicle in my project. Any ideas and suggestions will help. Thanks a lot in advance</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 18 Nov 2019 18:43:24 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-network-analyst-questions/route-planning-with-distance-constraint-in-arcgis/m-p/637040#M6104 Anonymous User 2019-11-18T18:43:24Z Re: Route planning with distance constraint in ArcGIS Online https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-network-analyst-questions/route-planning-with-distance-constraint-in-arcgis/m-p/637041#M6105 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hello,</P><P></P><P>The only other route limiting parameter that Plan Routes has is the total time for the route.

That really helps. I have ArcGIS Pro license and am trying to solve it using the VRP solver.</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 21 Nov 2019 14:59:41 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-network-analyst-questions/route-planning-with-distance-constraint-in-arcgis/m-p/637042#M6106 Anonymous User 2019-11-21T14:59:41Z
