Description
License:
The ArcGIS Location Referencing license is required to use this resource.
This operation converts one or more geographic locations to station values along a set of routes in station-enabled event layers when the isStationEvent property is true.
A status message is returned indicating either success or why the conversion failed.
Status messages
The following table contains an enumeration of the possible locating statuses:
Status | Description |
---|---|
esriLocatingOK | Locating was successful. |
esriLocatingMultipleLocation | Locating was successful and the input point was located on more than one route. |
esriLocatingCannotFindRoute | The route does not exist. |
esriLocatingRouteShapeEmpty | The route does not have a shape or the shape is empty. |
esriLocatingRouteMeasuresNull | The route does not have measures or the measures are null. |
esriLocatingRouteNotMAware | The route is not an m-aware polyline. |
esriLocatingCannotFindLocation | The route location's shape cannot be found because the route has no measures or the route location's measures do not exist on the route. |
Request parameters
Parameter | Details |
---|---|
f | Optional parameter to specify the response format. The default response format is html. Values: html | json |
locations | Description: A required parameter that lists routes and point locations to convert to station values. If the route ID is omitted for a given point, the point is located on all nearby routes within the tolerance. In this case, the response contains multiple route IDs and station values corresponding to the single point location. Syntax: |
tolerance | Description: The maximum distance in map units allowed to snap a point to the closest location on a nearby route. If a point is farther than the tolerance from a route, a message is returned that the point is not locatable. |
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) |
inSR | The spatial reference of the input geometry. The spatial reference can be specified as either a Well-Known ID (WKID) or a spatial reference JSON object. If inSR is not specified, the geometry is assumed to be in the spatial reference of the map. |
outSR | The spatial reference of the returned geometry. The spatial reference can be specified as either a Well-Known ID (WKID) or a spatial reference JSON object. If outSR is not specified, the output geometries are in the spatial reference specified by inSR. If inSR is also not specified, the output geometries are in the spatial reference of the map. |
gdbVersion | The geodatabase version to use for the network feature class. This parameter applies only if the isDataVersioned property of the network layer is true. If this parameter is not specified, the published map's version is used. |
Example usage
The following are sample URLs for geometry to station.
Example 1
The following is a URL for converting a single point to a station:
https://sampleserver/arcgis/rest/services/MyLRS/MapServer/exts/LRServer/eventLayers/1/geometryToStation?f=json&locations=[{"routeId":"I90","geometry":{"x":-8479115,"y":5326520,"z":5}}]&tolerance=50&inSR=102100
Example 2
The following is a URL for converting multiple points to stations:
https://sampleserver/arcgis/rest/services/MyLRS/MapServer/exts/LRServer/eventLayers/1/geometryToStation?f=json&locations=[{"routeId":"I90","geometry":{"x":-8479115,"y":5326520,"z":5}},{"routeId":"US20","geometry":{"x":-8472692,"y":5295686,"z":5}}]&tolerance=25&inSR=102100
Example 3
The following is a URL for converting a single point on any nearby route to one or more stations:
https://sampleserver/arcgis/rest/services/MyLRS/MapServer/exts/LRServer/eventLayers/1/geometryToStation?f=json&locations=[{"geometry":{"x":-8479100,"y":5326500,"z":5}}]&tolerance=100&inSR=102100
