Goals
Understand fundamental concepts of the ArcGIS network dataset.
Create network datasets.
Define network dataset properties such as connectivity groups, connectivity policies and network attributes.
Solve routing, closest facility, service areas problems.
Create Origin Destination matrices and use the Vehicle routing problem and Location-Allocation solvers.
Optionally perform network analysis using tools and models.
See examples of how network analysis is accessed in web environments.

This course is designed for experienced ArcGIS users and assumes a good working knowledge of ArcMap and ArcCatalog.

“This course gave me exactly what I needed, which was an overview of the use of Network Analyst. The course materials also provide a useful reference source for when I get back in the office and try to apply what I’ve learned.”
Chris Maple – DIO

“The course was organised and the pace was good, I feel more confident about using the Network Analyst at work now.”
