Xovis XY Data

LydiaWerner_MAC — Wed, 15 Mar 2023 16:16:18 GMT

Has anyone here ever been given XY data for Xovis (sensors) data? We use Xovis in our terminals at our airport and get historical and live data feeds that we use in our ticket counter and security line queues. We are trying to get the coordinate system Xovis used for their XY data, but in the meantime, I'm trying to create a custom one and project the points in ArcGIS Pro. Anyone else have experience with this? TIA!

Hello @LydiaWerner_MAC,

Just googling for Xovis data format, it seems it's just text in XML. If that's correct I'd use Python (xml.etree.ElementTree library) to extract the values of specific tags that are part of the Xovis data model (or take those you really want). From there you can build your point feature class. You'll need some logic creating fields and adding values from the extracted data but it's pretty straightforward if you have a little knowledge of arcpy.

Regards,

Hi @Kepa,

This doesn't really help, but I do appreciate the reply! In the meantime, we're waiting on Xovis to provide us their coordinate system.

Thanks!
