Summary
Returns a dictionary of travel mode objects that are available with the network data source. The dictionary keys are the names of the travel modes, and the dictionary values are the travel mode objects.
Discussion
One or more travel modes can be defined on a local network dataset, or on a network datasource from an ArcGIS Enterprise or ArcGIS Online portal. This function can be used to populate a value list with the available travel modes given a network data source. For example, a geoprocessing script tool can have a parameter of type String called Travel Modes that can be populated with a list of travel mode names once a network dataset has been selected on the tool dialog box.
Syntax
GetTravelModes (network_dataset_path)
| Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
network_dataset_path | A variable that references the catalog path of a network dataset, a network dataset layer object, or the URL of a portal configured with the network analysis services. The catalog path of a network dataset can be obtained from the dataSource property of a network dataset layer or a network analysis layer object. It can also be obtained from the catalogPath property of a network dataset Describe object. | String |
| Data Type | Explanation |
| Dictionary | A dictionary whose keys are the travel mode names and values are the travel mode objects. |
Code sample
Get the travel modes in a network dataset and print the walking time travel mode.
import arcpy
nds = 'C:/Data/SanDiego.gdb/Transportation/Streets_ND'
travel_modes = arcpy.nax.GetTravelModes(nds)
print(travel_modes['Walking Time'])Create a modified version of a travel mode from the network dataset and use this in an origin destination cost matrix analysis.
Missing source code fileCreate a list of travel mode names on ArcGIS Online. The names could be localized, depending on the user's account setting.
import arcpy
travel_modes = arcpy.nax.GetTravelModes("https://www.arcgis.com/")
travel_mode_names = [travel_modes[mode].name for mode in travel_modes]
