Puntos dentro de Polígonos por Tiempo

Question

<\/HEAD>¡Hola! <\/P> <\/P> Soy bastante nuevo en ArcMap y la versión más reciente para la que mi empresa tiene licencia completa es ArcMap 10.1. (También tenemos algunas de las herramientas adicionales licenciadas) <\/P> <\/P> Tengo un conjunto de puntos en el mapa (recogidas y entregas), cada uno correspondiente a un campo de tiempo. También tengo un conjunto de polígonos (rutas de autobús), que todos tienen horas de inicio y fin. ¿Es posible para mí encontrar qué puntos caen dentro de los polígonos tanto geométricamente COMO por tiempo? Sé que podría hacer una unión espacial solo para lo geométrico, pero el tiempo me está complicando. ¿Hay alguna manera de hacer esto? Básicamente estoy tratando de averiguar si estos viajes cumplen con ADA (dentro de 3\/4 millas de una ruta de autobús activa).<\/P> <\/P> ¡Gracias!<\/P><\/BODY><\/HTML>

Here's a suggestion from a colleague:

Do it in two passes:

Pass 1: Spatial Validation – spatial join from “Pickup” points to the “Bus Route” polygons

* Each pickup point (in JoinLayer) now knows which bus route it is within
* A point not within any active bus route area (ie: null joined-field values) is non-compliant

Pass 2: Temporal Validation – select by attributes to check if the date range is OK

* Find the good ones (it’s easier SQL to write)
* Select from JoinLayer where* [PICKUP_TIME] >= [ROUTE_START_TIME]
* AND [PICKUP_TIME] <= [ROUTE_END_TIME]

* Invert the selection -> the pickup point is outside its joined bus-route time

ONE BIG LIMITATION though:

* Not guaranteed to work with points inside multiple (overlapping) bus route polygons* The joined bus route time-frame may not comply, but another one might
* Spatial join only gives you one result…

* Suggestion:* Run the above
* For the ‘failures’, identify pickup points that are in multiple bus routes
* Mark these as “maybe’s”
* Handle them some other way (if only a few, maybe manually?)

Anyone have any ideas?

Melinda,

Thanks for the reply! You are correct about the 3/4 mile.  A few paragraphs below where your link sent me it says "(e) Hours and days of service. The complementary paratransit service shall be available throughout the same hours and days as the entity's fixed route service."  This means that the service area is only within 3/4 of a mile of an ACTIVE bus line.  So if that bus route goes from 6am to 9pm, you only have to compliment it by law in a 3/4 mile boundary from 6am to 9pm.  That's part of my problem.

I have the time slider and everything set up in 10.1, and all the data is time-enabled.  I just need to figure out how to build a data set of all the points that fall in the polygons both geographically and when the polygon is active.
