ArcView Network Analyst enables users to solve a variety of problems
using geographic networks. The software also includes a suite of more
advanced network analysis tools that can be accessed through Avenue requests.
Developers will be able to deliver sophisticated network analysis applications
based on these extended capabilities.
With
ArcView Network Analyst, you can integrate data, solve network problems,
and build complete solutions such as:
- Find
the shortest path between any number of points.
- Determine
the closest facility for any location.
- Generate
service areas around any location.
- Build
clear directions using points as landmarks in the directions.
- Use
existing ArcView features and ArcInfo networks.
- Produce
data driven networks.
- Build
custom tools and solutions.
- Develop
complete applications.
Why
Use ArcView Network Analyst?
ArcView Network Analyst adds an integrated graphical user interface providing
access to the network modeling capabilities including
- Find
the most direct path between two points--What's the most direct
way from my current location to the nearest library and can it provide
directions?
- Find
the optimum route between many points--What's the optimum route
for my sales calls and can I get directions?
- Find
the closest facility--Which ATM is closest to my hotel and
how do I get there?
- Drive
time analysis--What are the three-minute, five-minute, and
10-minute drive zones around a potential fast food restaurant location
and how many customers are within those zones?
ArcView Network Analyst can also do point-to-point routing (known as mid-arc
routing, as opposed to endpoint-to-endpoint routing) and can reference
local landmarks when reporting route directions. The geographic network
data can be based on ArcInfo coverages, shapefiles, or CAD drawings.

Network Analyst also includes a suite of more advanced network analysis
tools that can be accessed through Avenue requests. Developers will be
able to deliver very sophisticated network analysis applications based
on these extended capabilities.
