It is a bit difficult to tell if the problem lies with the tool, with the data, with your use of the tool, or with your expectations. Perhaps if you provided some more information about what you are putting in, what you got out, what you expecetd to get out, and how it dissappointed you, then someone might be able to help. Sorry for not been so clear. Basically I have two Feature Classes, one for points and one for liens. Some points intersect the lines. I want to run a script or tool that splits the line wherever the point intersects the lines (like valves on top of mains). I have tried the Split Lines at Points but it does not split the lines wherever the point intersect the lines.[ATTACH=CONFIG]24368[/ATTACH] ... View more

Hi Ernesto, When you add the service to the map, did you right click the group layer it creates and choose the option Create Local Copy for Editing? Cheers, Andrew Thanks for the info!! That was what I was trying to look for 😄 ... View more

Hello. The are two main things I think you need to consider: order pairs and assigning routes to depots. To make sure students are delivered to the appropriate school, use order pairs. So for each student, you will have two stops: one at their home and one at their school. Then you link the two together with order pairs. This means you will have a figurative "stack" of stops at the schools--one for each student. (As an aside, school districts often have requirements that limit how long a student can stay on a bus. The reason is that they don't want the student to spend hours of unproductive time on the bus each day, so they may have a limit of say 30 minutes each way. You can set the MaxTransitTime of OrderPairs to try to find a solution that complies with the time limit.) To make sure the routes start and end at the right place--the driver's home--create depots at each driver's house. When you create your routes, assign the Routes' StartDepotName field to the appropriate depot--the one at the driver's home. Do the same for the EndDepotName. You want to make sure the route, which represents a bus, matches the type of bus the driver actually drives. That is, if the driver drives a short bus with a capacity that's less than other buses, make sure the correct depot/home is related to that bus. The same is true for any specialties, like a wheelchair lift or air brakes vs. hydraulic brakes. Hope that helps. Let me know if I can answer any other questions. Robert Thanks for the information! I understand the order pairs, what I am not sure how to handle in the following. Part of this analysis is helping me determine which bus to assign to each driver according to the route they need to perform. I thought NA will aid me on that task. I thought about assigning each depot three school buses with different capacities and let the NA select the one needed. Will that be possible? If possible, how can I make sure NA selects one school bus (the best one) per depot? ... View more

Hello, I had to modify a little bit the scenario described above. Currently, I am working a scenario in order to optimize a school bus route. The fleet service consists of picking each student, one by one, at their particular home. Once the driver pick up the last student from his route, he needs to deliver them to their respective school. Obviously this needs to happen in the most cost efficient way. Each driver is assigned a school bus according to the number of students he needs to pick up. All drivers will be departing from their respective houses and returning there at the end of the working day. Like any scenario of this type, there are time windows that need to be honored and students with special requirements, e.g. wheelchair, which needs to be attended. My questions are: how should I establish my fleet? That is, how can I assure that the VRP solver choose the most appropriate school bus and assign it to a driver according to the scenario been studied? I have to confess that I am not completely clear how to manage this condition. Since all drivers will be departing from their respective house, these houses will be representing the depots. How can I make sure that only one school bus will be departing from each house (depot)? How can I assure the solver chooses the most appropriate according to the scenario presented? Any help will be appreciated. ... View more

Definitely you did answered most of my questions but still I need one more thing to get clarified. As I mentioned, I have a fleet with particular properties. When I have used the solver, the solver returns an output where only 24 passenger vehicles are used and one 13 passenger since this is the one with specialty accommodations. This represents a problem since most of those 24 passenger vehicles are empty. The solver is only accommodating 13 or so inside these vehicles. How can I tell the solver to pick an 18 passenger vehicle instead of the 24 passenger on those cases? ... View more

Thanks! It did actually worked that way. Anyone knows about the Track Location issue? Has it been deployed in AGOL already?? ... View more

I followed the instructions described in order to set the Track Location but after re-saving the map, the properties were not displayed. Also, I shared the map, generated the link and sent it via email. Once received and clicked to open, it never requested to be open using the Collector for ArcGIS app nor was not able to open it from the app itself. Is it a ready-to-use app or is it still under development? ... View more

Ahhhh, you are very observant. http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/arcgisonline/index.html#//010q000000n0000000 "If your editors will occasionally be disconnected from the network, check Enable Sync. This allows your editors to get the latest updates to features at the time they connect. Any edits they made to features while disconnected will also be applied at the time they connect. Sync is currently only supported in ArcGIS for Windows Mobile." This is an ongoing development effort and over time more and more client apps will support it. Thanks, Mike Thanks Mike for you information. Let me tell you, this a great addition to the Web browser platform! I hope this gets extended to Esri's iOS and Androids free apps!! EC ... View more
