Service area solver

PurposeThis sample is an application that shows how to programmatically perform a service area analysis. You will learn how to load locations from a feature class, set solver parameters, execute the analysis, and get back the output results.

How to use

See How to use ArcGIS samples for help on compiling, setting up the debugger, and running the sample.

Data has been provided for your use with this sample. It can be found at <Your ArcGIS Developer Kit Install directory>/Samples/data/SanFrancisco/SanFrancisco.gdb.
If the sample has associated data, you will find that the sample's zip file includes a "data" folder alongside the language folders. However, you will need to update the sample to point to the location of the data once you have extracted all the files.

  1. Start Visual Studio to build and run the application.
  2. In the application, verify the data's path is correct, then click Setup Service Area Problem.
  3. Once the map display is populated and the Solve button is available, click Solve. Information about the service areas appears.
  4. You can also change solver settings and re-solve.
