Output from Generate Origin Destination Cost Matrix

The Generate Origin Destination Cost Matrix geoprocessing tool produces layers representing origins, destinations, and origin destination lines. The output feature classes and their corresponding field attributes are described in this topic.

Origins feature class

The Origins point feature class represents the starting points in generating the paths to the destinations.

The default name of this output feature class is Origins, but you can give it a different name by changing the Output Origins Name parameter (Output_Origins_Name in Python) prior to solving.

The feature class is assigned the same coordinate system that the underlying network dataset uses. This can be controlled by specifying a value for the Output Coordinate System geoprocessing environment.

The field names of the Origins feature class are listed and described below.

Field name	Description
OID	The system-managed ID field.
Shape	The geometry of the point, which is stored internally.
Name	The name of the origin. If the input origin feature class also has a Name field, this field will be derived from it.
Target Destination Count	The number of destinations that must be found for the origin.
Curb Approach	Specifies the direction a vehicle may arrive at or depart from the facility.
Status	This field is constrained by a domain of values, which are listed below (their coded values are shown in parentheses). Note that network location refers to the location of the facility on the network dataset. OK (0)—The network location was successfully evaluated. Element not traversable (3)—The network element that the network location is on is not traversable. This can occur when the network element is restricted by a restriction attribute. Invalid field values (4)—The field values of the network location fall outside the analysis layer's coded or range domains. For example, a negative number may exist where positive numbers are required. Not reached (5)—The network location can't be arrived at by the solver.
Cutoff	Travel time or travel distance value at which to stop searching for destinations from the origin.
Origin OID	The Object ID of the origin point.
Destination Count	The number of destinations found for the origin based on the cutoff.

Destinations feature class

The Destinations point feature class represents the ending points in generating the paths to the destinations.

The default name of this output feature class is Destinations, but you can give it a different name by changing the Output Destinations Name parameter (Output_Destinations_Name in Python) prior to solving.

The feature class is assigned the same coordinate system that the underlying network dataset uses. This can be controlled by specifying a value for the Output Coordinate System geoprocessing environment.

The field names of the Destinations feature class are listed and described below.

Field name	Description
OID	The system-managed ID field.
Shape	The geometry of the point, which is stored internally.
Name	The name of the destination. If the input origin feature class also has a Name field, this field will be derived from it.
Curb Approach	Specifies the direction a vehicle may arrive at or depart from the facility. This field and its values are copied from the input facilities.
Status	This field is constrained by a domain of values, which are listed below (their coded values are shown in parentheses). Note that network location refers to the location of the facility on the network dataset. OK (0)—The network location was successfully evaluated. Element not traversable (3)—The network element that the network location is on is not traversable. This can occur when the network element is restricted by a restriction attribute. Invalid field values (4)—The field values of the network location fall outside the analysis layer's coded or range domains. For example, a negative number may exist where positive numbers are required. Not reached (5)—The network location can't be arrived at by the solver.
Destination OID	The Object ID of the destination point.
Origin Count	Number of origin points associated with the destination point.

Origin Destination Lines feature class

The Origin Destination Lines feature class represents the resulting paths from origins to destinations.

The default name of this output feature class is ODLines, but you can give it a different name by changing the Output Origin Destination Lines Name parameter (Output_Origin_Destination_Lines_Name in Python) prior to solving.

The feature class is assigned the same coordinate system that the underlying network dataset uses. This can be controlled by specifying a value for the Output Coordinate System geoprocessing environment.

The field names of the ODLines feature class are listed and described below.

Field name	Description
OID	The system-managed ID field.
Shape	The geometry field indicating the shape of the lines.
Destination Rank	The rank of the destination among all destinations found for the associated origin. The destination that is closest to the origin has a rank of 1.
Total Time [Minutes]	The total travel time between associated origin and destination points.
Total Distance [Kilometers]	The total travel distance between associated origin and destination points.
Origin Name	The name of the origin point.
Origin OID	The unique ID of the line's associated origin.
Destination OID	The unique ID of the line's associated destination.
Shape_Length	The geometric length of the feature.
