Travel modes table

A number of travel modes are available in the network dataset for use in network analyses for ArcGIS Pro® users. A travel mode is a set of preselected restrictions and parameters that are useful for setting up analyses. You can modify travel modes at run time to suit a particular use-case.

The following table describes travel modes in the network dataset.


NameDescription
Driving Time (Traffic)Driving car or small truck. The impedance is travel time which uses historic traffic data to calculate traversal time whenever you specify a start time travel obeys one-way roads, avoids illegal turns, and follows other rules applicable to cars.
FreeFlowDrivingTimeDriving car or small truck. The impedance is free flow time. Free flow time is the fastest recorded time in the historic traffic profiles for traversal of a street segment. Travel obeys one-way roads, avoids illegal turns, and follows other rules applicable to cars.
EstimatedWeekendDrivingTimeDriving car or small truck. The impedance is weekend fallback time, which is the average recorded speed for a street segment during the weekend. Travel obeys turns and oneway restrictions and other rules applicable to cars.
EstimatedWeekDayDrivingTimeDriving car or small truck. Weekday fallback time is the impedance calculated from the average recorded speed for a street segment during the weekdays (Mon-Fri). Travel obeys turns and oneway restrictions and other rules applicable to cars.
DrivingDistanceDriving car or small truck. The impedance is travel distance. Travel obeys one-way roads, avoids illegal turns, and follows other rules applicable to cars.
TruckTime(speed limit)Driving truck. The impedance is truck travel time based on the truck speed limit where available otherwise general speed limit (capped at maximum truck speed) if available, or finally speed_kph (capped at maximum truck speed). Travel obeys one- way roads, avoids illegal turns, and follows other rules applicable to trucks.
WalkingWalking. The impedance is walking time, which assumes a speed of 5km/hr and with restrictions on pedestrian access applied.
DrivingTimeSpeedLimitDriving car or small truck. The impedance is travel time based on speed limits. Travel obeys one-way roads, avoids illegal turns, and follows other rules applicable to cars.
DrivingTimeSpeed_KPHDriving car or small truck. The impedance is travel time based on speed_KPH (from HERE speed category). Travel obeys one-way roads, avoids illegal turns, and follows other rules applicable to cars.
