An overview of the Server toolset

The Server toolset contains tools that are designed to perform two types of tasks:

Tool

Description

Generate Service Areas

Creates a service area network analysis layer, sets the analysis properties, and solves the analysis. This tool is ideal for setting up a service area geoprocessing service on the web. A network service area is a region that encompasses all streets that can be accessed within a given distance or travel time from one or more facilities.

Solve Vehicle Routing Problem

Creates a vehicle routing problem (VRP) network analysis layer, sets the analysis properties, and solves the analysis, which is ideal for setting up a VRP web service. A vehicle routing problem analysis layer finds the best routes for a fleet of vehicles.

Update Traffic Data

Downloads live traffic data from a web service and stores it in a dynamic traffic format (DTF) file, which is a file that network datasets can read for live-traffic analysis and display.

Update Traffic Incidents

Creates a point feature class containing live traffic-incident data from a web service. Traffic incidents include events such as accidents and road construction.
