Now, the shortest path(s) can be extracted as follows:

ShortestPath_time2 = Recode ShortestPath4_InNetwork_time2
Assigning 999 To 83…85
;

For time interval 1, first add proximity surfaces, then extract path.
SpreadFromCutoff4_time1 = Spread Cutoff_Point4
To 600
In costoftravel_time1
Outof direction
;

ShortestPath_InNetwork_time1 = SpreadFromStart_Time1
+ SpreadFromCutoff4_time1
;

ShortestPath_time1 = Recode ShortestPath_InNetwork_time1
Assigning 999 To 169…171;

The extracted paths can now be joined and overlayed over the study area map for visualization.

ShortestPath_time = Cover ShortestPath_time1 With ShortestPath_time2
;

ShortestPath_OverMap_time = Cover BrownsPond With ShortestPath_time
;
