There are five main steps in creating a network dataset:

  1. Prepare the feature dataset and sources.
  2. Prepare the sources for appropriate roles inside the network dataset.
  3. Prepare turn feature classes and add turn information.
  4. Create the network dataset using the New Network Dataset wizard.
  5. Build the network dataset.

What is network dataset?

A Network dataset is a GIS dataset that is designed to support network analysis. It typically consists of lines representing the routes of flow in the network, augmented with other features (such as junction points), topology, and attributes that model network-relevant properties such as impedance and capacity of flow.
