Translate

Description

Licencia:

The ArcGIS Location Referencing license is required to use this resource.

This operation translates route measures from one network's linear referencing method (LRM) to that of another network. This operation can be used to locate concurrent routes in a target network.

Request parameters

ParameterDetails
f

Optional parameter to specify the response format. The default response format is html.

Values: html | json

locations

Required

Description: A list of routes and measure values to translate.

Syntax:


[
  { // translate an entire route (start measure to end measure)
    "routeId" : "<routeId>"
  },
  { // translate a single measure
    "routeId" : "<routeId>",
    "measure" : <measure>
  },
  { // translate a measure range
    "routeId" : "<routeId>",
    "fromMeasure" : <measure>,
    "toMeasure" : <measure>
  },
  { // translate a measure range spanning multiple routes
    // this is valid only for networks that support lines
    "routeId" : "<routeId>",
    "toRouteId" : "<routeId>",
    "fromMeasure" : <measure>,
    "toMeasure" : <measure>
  },
  ...
]
targetNetworkLayerIds

Required

Description: A comma-separated list of layer IDs into which the network layers translate.

Example: targetNetworkLayerIds=[4,7]

temporalViewDate

The time instant to use as a temporal view date when locating route features.

The parameter value is a number that represents the number of milliseconds since epoch (January 1, 1970) in UTC.

Syntax: temporalViewDate=<timeInstant>

Example: temporalViewDate=1230768000000 (1 Jan 2009 00:00:00 GMT)

gdbVersion

Optional parameter to specify the geodatabase version to use. If this parameter is not specified, the published map's version is used.

Syntax: gdbVersion=<version>

Example: gdbVersion="user1.version1"

Example usage

The following examples demonstrate measure translation.

Example 1

URL for translating the entire measure span of a route.

https://sampleserver/arcgis/rest/services/MyLRS/MapServer/exts/LRServer/networkLayers/0/translate?f=json&locations=[{"routeId":"I90"}]&targetNetworkLayerIds=[4]

Example 2

URL for translating a single measure on a route.

https://sampleserver/arcgis/rest/services/MyLRS/MapServer/exts/LRServer/networkLayers/0/translate?f=json&locations=[{"routeId":"I90","measure":25}]&targetNetworkLayerIds=[2,5]

Example 3

URL for translating a measure range on a route.

https://sampleserver/arcgis/rest/services/MyLRS/MapServer/exts/LRServer/networkLayers/0/translate?f=json&locations=[{"routeId":"I90","fromMeasure":25.1,"toMeasure":26.8}]&targetNetworkLayerIds=[4]

Example 4

URL for translating measures on multiple routes.

https://sampleserver/arcgis/rest/services/MyLRS/MapServer/exts/LRSServer/networkLayers/0/translate?f=json&locations=[{"routeId":"I90","measure":25.0},{"routeId":"US20","measure":72.6}]&targetNetworkLayerIds=[4]

Example 5

URL for translating multiple measures and measure ranges.

https://sampleserver/arcgis/rest/services/MyLRS/MapServer/exts/LRSServer/networkLayers/0/translate?f=json&locations=[{"routeId":"I90","fromMeasure":25.1,"toMeasure":26.8},{"routeId":"US20","measure":72.6}]&targetNetworkLayerIds=[2,5]
