Hello everyone,

I have done time-animations within Arcmap on a small scale in the past, however, I now have a large data set I would like to animate but there are several issues that I have not been able to resolve through various youtube and esri tutorials and information.

I want to track the movement of persons output from a modal. The modal output is in CSV format which has a start/end location, however, the way they travel across the street network is written in a string format. For instance, the CSV looks like this:

Person 1 | Star-X | Start-Y | End-X | End-Y | Link 00001, 00002, 00003, 00004, 00005 | Time | Vehicle

The links each represent a line in another file where a link has both a starting and endpoint.

I'm not sure how to break out the links so that the person follows the line in the animation or how to get them to move across the line based on the time field. Not to mention that I have about 100,000 people I would like to animate.

Any help or guidance would be awesome!
