ServiceArea task
The ServiceArea task calculates how far around an input location you can expect to travel within a specified period of time. This is a particularly useful analysis when investigating possible locations for a new depot or similar facility where it is important to understand how wide an area your operatives can service.
The service area is defined in minutes and is a region that encompasses all accessible streets within that period:
The classes involved in service area operations include ServiceAreaParameters, ServiceAreaTask, and ServiceAreaSolveResults:
The ServiceAreaParameters object specifies the task's input parameters and includes properties for the default time period, the set of facilities involved, any barriers or other restrictions used in the analysis, and more.
To execute the task, you instantiate a ServiceAreaTask object and pass the ServiceAreaParameters object into its solve() method. Results are passed from ArcGIS Server back to the client in the form of a ServiceAreaSolveResults...
