OD Cost Matrix , Actual Route

MuhammadRamzan

I have made a Multimodal network analysis consisting of Maritime_Routes, World_Railroads, and World_roads as a mode of transportation.

I have applied the OD cost matrix and that works fine. I have to find out how many countries the route between the two cities is passing.

I have applied the OD cost matrix, calculates the distance and draw a straight line, rather than the ACTUAL ROUTE.

Thanks

Can you clarify what you mean by "network model tool"?

MuhammadRamzan

Hi Melinda Morang

Hi, is the network model tool available in ArcGIS online version?

Thanks

MelindaMorang

Yes, you can put your network dataset in your Enterprise Geodatabase, then set the network data source to point to that network dataset. However, I don't think that would make the analysis any faster.

MuhammadRamzan

Hi thanks

Is it possible to do the computation in Enterprise Geodatabase with ArcGIS Pro? As I have a large number of cities and it is taking to long.

What would be the process for that?

thanks

If you don't need M values, you can ignore this message. M values are used primarily for linear referencing when you need to know the distance along a line that a point falls.

MuhammadRamzan

I am getting this message

"Warning: The output geometry for "Location 3 - Location 1" in "Routes" has no M values because the maximum M value is larger than the largest M value that can be supported by the M domain."

I have 2341 cities. so I will set this number to 2341. Right?

MelindaMorang

The option is on the Closest Facility ribbon.

MuhammadRamzan

where I can find or set this option.

MuhammadRamzan

How please

MelindaMorang

You can set the number of facilities to find to some number >= the number of cities you have. Then you will get a route from each city to each other city.

MuhammadRamzan

No error message.

I need the distance(and actual shapefile) from each origin to the destination city. whereas in only pairs origin city with only one destination city. whereas I need to pair each origin city with each destination city.

MuhammadRamzan

I have tried but Closest Facility solver is not working. I need the distance from each origin to eash the destination.

MelindaMorang

Yes, all of the Network Analyst solvers can work with the same network dataset.

MuhammadRamzan

Can I apply the Route solver or the Closest Facility solver on the same Network data set? or if I have to set up a new network data set.

MelindaMorang

Although the OD Cost Matrix tool shows straight lines connecting origins and destinations, the it calculates the network distance or travel time and reports those values in the output table. The straight lines are intended only for visualization, like a spider diagram.

If you need to use the output of a network analysis to determine which countries the route goes through, you cannot use the OD Cost Matrix tool. OD Cost Matrix only reports the travel time or distance and not the actual route.

You should instead use either the Route solver or the Closest Facility solver, depending on the way your problem is set up.
