WAZE - What Next?

MeleKoneya1 — Wed, 05 Mar 2025 16:02:42 GMT

Good morning,

I have configured an ArcGIS GeoEvent Service to write out JSON files for the jams and alerts.

I tried to create a feature class from each of the file types, jam and alert but it errored in ArcGIS Pro.

How can create a feature layer to output the WAZE data to?

Thank you,

Mele

In geoEvent output the Feature or Stream Layer you want to create.. Then use it in Pro.

@JeffSilberberg What I was having trouble with is creating the Feature or Stream Layer. Is there a template I can use or is there a way in GeoEvent to create the layer from a GeoEvent Definition. Thank you.

What exactly errored? Share some screenshots of your geoevent service and definitions, as well as your outputs.

Yes, the only issue is I don't have a data store configured so that I can publish from a GeoEvent Definition. I am working on getting that done. I had forgotten that we currently couldn't publish directly, but the link you sent helped jog my memory. Thank you

I was trying to create a feature class in Pro from the flat WAZE Json but it errors out without much info.

My thought was if I could create a Feature Class I could publish it and use the add a feature output

What format is your JSON in? Because the JSON to Features tool accepts JSON but it has to contain feature collections. In other words, it has to be formatted like geoJSON.

Also, you could just publish a feature class to AGO and use it as your output from the geoevent service. That's probably your best bet. The geoevent will handle the json to geojson conversion on the backend for you.

Let me see. I had Json and am now trying to create GeoJson in GeoEvent Server. Hopefully, that will do the trick

Getting the data into the proper format, GeoJson, was the key. Thank you for the help

@MeleKoneya1

Glad that worked for you. But a simple RTA would have done the same thing.

Feed --> Check that you have a non-NULL Lat/Lon value ---> Use a field Calculator to enhance your Schema with the 2d Point. --> any other calculations, Joins or other functions need --> output your Feature Layer.
