Retrieve travel modes

Description

Retrieve travel modes service is used to get the supported travel modes configured in your ArcGIS Online organization.

A travel mode is essentially a template consisting of a long list of travel settings that define the physical characteristics of a vehicle or pedestrian. Those characteristics are considered when performing a network analysis to define how the vehicle or pedestrian travels and where it can go. Selecting a predefined travel mode allows you to efficiently and consistently set a number of properties that are appropriate for the mode of travel you intend to model. The benefits are time savings and reduced complexity—you don't need to remember and configure, with each analysis, the parameter values that most accurately characterize the vehicles you're modeling.

An administrator of your organization can configure travel modes to change the properties of the default travel modes provided by ArcGIS Online, add new travel modes that better reflect your organization’s workflows, or remove travel modes that are not suitable for your organization’s workflows.
