I am running a field survey and would like to create routes for the surveyors. I have the building lots and road network for a particular city (road in red, lots in blue, with a Google Maps basemap):

enter image description here

Each of the lots may have more than one apartment unit, and the number of units is tracked as an additional column of the attribute table.

For routing purposes, I would like to generate routes of 50 units each for the surveyors. Is there a way to create a script (preferably in ArcGIS) that can iterate through the entire lot shapefile to create the most compact routes of 50 units at a time. Ideally, the output would be a new column in the lot shapefile that designates for each lot the route that it is assigned to.

    Yes this can be done, use model builder to automate your network analysis. Suggest you explore the help file. – Hornbydd Feb 12 '19 at 17:08
  • I'm still fairly new to ArcGIS - is there a particular tool in network analysis that can accomplish this task? The lots are a polygon layer and the road network is a vector layer. – Obie K Feb 12 '19 at 18:00
  • I think you mean https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/123289/grouping-village-points-based-on-distance-and-population-size-using-arcgis-deskt/123297#123297 – FelixIP Feb 12 '19 at 18:53
  • Not quite. I would like to use the road network to map out the routes for each groups of 50 units, if possible. – Obie K Feb 13 '19 at 00:02
