NetEngine software is a programmer's library designed for geographic network analysis such as networks defining streets, railways, utility and distribution facilities, or rivers. NetEngine provides the programmer the capability to define, store, traverse, and analyze many kinds of networks through a C application programming interface or through Visual Basic via a type library.

NetEngine gives programmers the direct capability to define, store, traverse, and analyze networks that represent geographic features, natural or artificial, that are physical or logical. NetEngine programs can store and manipulate large physical networks such as the entire highway and street network for a state or country. NetEngine provides a specialized memory management module, giving the programmer access to network representations larger than the amount of virtual memory available to a particular computer.
NetEngine operates under Windows 95, 98, and NT. Its primary access is through a C application programming interface, but other environments can be accessed through a type library.

NetEngine is flexible and has been designed for a single or multimodal network facilities. Developers can quickly deliver basic vehicle routing solutions using a traveling salesman problem algorithm, or they can build solutions that route across multiple transportation modes using more advanced functions and algorithms of their own design. Transit providers can identify effective alternative routes using bus routes, subways, rail, and even city sidewalks to walk between two nonconnected bus routes.

NetEngine includes hierarchical shortest-path and origin-destination solvers, and support for bit map, and heap data structure allows the implementation of custom network solutions. NetEngine also includes samples that show how to construct networks with turn information and how to use the allocate view and the hierarchical solvers.
