ArcGIS Network Analyst is an extension to ArcGIS Desktop that helps you conduct network-based spatial analysis. With ArcGIS Network Analyst, you can create applications using a network dataset that build multimodal routes, provide travel directions, look for closest facilities, and create service areas and origin-destination cost matrices.

ArcGIS Network Analyst helps you dynamically model realistic network conditions and solve vehicle routing problems that include turn restrictions, speed limits, height restrictions, and traffic conditions at different times of the day.
