If I understand correctly, you would like to discourage turns where possible.  I don't think what you are proposing would work with the script evaluator.   I think some functionality that might do what you want is the Global Turn Delay Evaluator.  The purpose of that evaluator is to discourage turns by applying a cost penalty that makes turning more expensive.  That might be your answer. To take a step back, though, why do you want to discourage turns?  Is the vehicle that is travelling too big to make many turns? If that is the case, the Global Turn Delay Evaluator seems correct. Or are you getting routes that leave major roads and stair-steps through communities?  In this case, the best answer is probably to adjust the travel times along the roads that you prefer. ...

The network element script evaluators are based on the ArcObjects API.  To explain some of the sections of the dialog in your screenshot:   Element Variables: These are the objects that you can reference in the code block.  For evaluating edges, the only valid element variable is the Edge element itself.  In your screenshot, you see Turn, fromEdge, toEdge, and atJunction.  These are all network elements associated with a Turn.   Types: This changes the available functions in the Element Functions section.  For example, select Turn and you get the Angle function.  Select Junction and you get the TurnCount function.   Element Functions:  These are the methods available to work on the chosen element type object.  These should correspond to the methods on INetworkEdge2, INetworkTurn2, and INetworkJunction2. I hope this was helpful. ... View more

Hmmm...  I'll install 10.4 and give that a shot. When you compile does a popup appear that says "Registration Succeeded"? Can you email me a zip of your code and your TrafficProviders.xml?    pstevens@esri.com ... View more

It all appears to be working for me.  I went through the steps and when I opened up ArcMap and the traffic data tool, Custom Provider showed up. Glancing at your screen shots, it looks like the GUID for the provider is different than mine.  The one I used was:  {929DFEE5-11DC-4BC9-B66F-B493A4470451} You get that GUID from the top of the TrafficProvider.cs file.  Make sure your provider GUID matches the one in the code.   I hope that fixes it! ...

I'll download and retry setting up the custom feed.   What version of ArcMap are you using?  And what version of Visual Studio? Are you using just the code as-is along with the sample data as-is?  Or did you make any change or use your own data? Thanks ... View more

Hello!  The DLL is automatically registered when the sample is compiled.   You can see how it works if you open the file CutomTrafficProvider.csproj in Notepad++ or some other text editor.  Scroll down to the bottom of the file and there are "BeforeClean"and "AfterBuild" sections telling the project to unregister before building and register after.   If you think it might not be working, try to register the DLL manually just to make sure it can.  For ArcMap, it would be something like this: c:\ProgramFiles (x86)\Common Files\ArcGIS\bin>esriRegAsm.exe <Path to your DLL> /p:Desktop  ...

Hello!  I think the problem might be the value you are trying to set.  Instead of using the text "Right side of vehicle", try using the integer enumeration value associated with that text. 0 = Either side of vehicle 1 = Right side of vehicle 2 = Left side of vehicle 3 = No u-turn ... View more
