Network Service with GTFS Network Dataset

MassimoMazzanti — Tue, 11 Sep 2018 17:03:37 GMT

I have successfully used your tools to add GTFS data to a Network Dataset and created a multimodal network (pedestrian path and boat lines). Now my goal is to publish a network service to ArcGIS Server (version 10.5.1) to use it in a mobile application (I use Visual Studio Xamarin with ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET 100.3.0). In practice I would like my app to be able to perform a route analysis on the network. Do I have to configure the server in any particular way? Can you give me any suggestions? Thanks in advance

Hello Massimo. You have to do a few special things with Server in order to work with a GTFS-enabled network dataset. Please see this section of the user's guide.

Hello Melinda,

many thanks for your replay, but I need more help.

On my pc the TransitEvaluator.dll file is in <ArcGIS desktop dir>\ArcToolbox\Toolboxes\EvaluatorFiles directory.

In your guide, I read that I have to "install TransitEvaluator.dll on the machine hosting the service". How should I install the dll on the server where ArcGIS Server is installed? Should I simply copy the dll to the server and then register it?

Can you explain how to do the installation?

Many thanks

Massimo

What machine will you be using to host the service? You need to install Add GTFS to a Network Dataset on that machine and then follow the additional instructions to "register" TransitEvaluator.dll with ArcGIS Server. ArcGIS Server is usually installed in C:\Program Files.

If the server machine doesn't have ArcMap installed, you won't be able to use the installer to install Add GTFS to a Network Dataset. In that case, I think you can just copy the folder holding TransitEvaluator.dll to the server machine: C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.[version]\ArcToolbox\Toolboxes\EvaluatorFiles.
