I am wondering Anylogic has a function of adding real-time traffic data on a road,
currently Anylogic is able to bring up GIS data on their system.
you cannot load real-time traffic data by default. AnyLogic only allows you to access what the selected map-provider (OSM) provides for free.
However, you can purchase access to that data from Google and/or Bing and access it via the "advanced" properties of your GIS map object (tick "use custom tile provider" and "use custom routes provider").

Background: I have a simple integration (Client App) using the Forge API that can: create a bucket, upload a .dwg file to the object storage service, translate the file (and get translation status), query the files in a bucket, and open any of the files in the bucket in the Viewer. I'm now researching the possibility to pull files that are made/modified from the AutoCAD Web & Mobile App (https://web.autocad.com/) (aka the Web App) via the forge API. Is this possible?
Usecase: We want some personnel to be able to modify the underlying files, whereas others just need to view it from an existing application integrated through forge. The idea would be the engineers would modify the file in the Web App, and then from the Client App using the forge API, I want to query to see if the base file has been updated since the last time it was translated for the viewer. If newer, re-translate the file and view it. If not, just view it.
Attempts: I assumed the files would be in a project in a hub in the /project/v1/hubs/ in the data management API of Forge, but I'm getting a response of "You don't have permission to access this API". I am in the trial version of forge, so that may be the issue. And the Web App is currently "free for everyone for an extended period." Is it possible that I just need to purchase one of the subscriptions to be able to access the files I have on the web app? Or am I looking in the entirely wrong place?
So, concisely, here are the questions:
Are files that are saved on https://web.autocad.com/ accessible via the Forge API? How, if yes?
If yes to #1, do these files need to be converted using the Forge API to be render-able in the Viewer?
Thank you for your time and help!
I would say, it's a pretty cool idea and workflow, but unfortunately, AFAIK, we don't have direct access to file on https://web.autocad.com/ by Forge API currently, only data within Autodesk SAAS applications include BIM 360 Team, Fusion Team (formerly known as A360 Team), BIM 360 Docs, A360 Personal could be accessed directly, refer https://forge.autodesk.com/en/docs/data/v2/developers_guide/overview/, But some ideas:
I am not expert on https://web.autocad.com, but I know it provides the connection to cloud storage including Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, and Microsoft OneDrive, depends on which cloud storage you are using, you should pick the corresponding API to access the file, and maybe check if the file is changed, all of that is nothing to do with Forge, but the cloud storage.
If you can check the file version with the API from cloud storage provider, then you should be able to exchange the file between the cloud storage and Autodesk OSS(check sample https://github.com/Autodesk-Forge/bim360appstore-data.management-nodejs-transfer.storage ), you can use the Forge to translate and view files on Autodesk OSS.
I used the TimeLiner plugin for Navisworks to create a 4D timeline. I'm now trying to grab this TimeLiner data from the Forge API. When I log into BIM360, I'm able to load a model into the viewer and see all TimeLiner information within a browser. However, I don't see how I can accomplish this with the Forge API. Is there an available API for this? Or is there another way to grab this info?
Unfortunately, the Timeliner properties are not extracted by Forge service (which BIM 360 is running on), and also some other properties. This blog tells in detail:
https://forge.autodesk.com/blog/updates-navisworks-nwd-translation-engine-coming
Currently, we do have an advanced option to override default configurations to tell NWD/NWC translator if it needs to translate Timeliner properties. BUT, this option is about Forge Model Derivative API ONLY.
While in BIM360 Docs UI, there is no any plan to expose options to let users override default configurations when they upload files. So for now, users uploading NWD/NWC files to BIM 360 Docs will lose Timeliner properties. Consequently, you will have to open those files inside Navisworks to view Timeliner data or take advantage of the Navisworks API to extract the data inside Navisworks. We apologize for the inconvenience.
However, we have legged a wish BIMPLT-698 with BIM360 engineering team to evaluate the possibility of adding options for end-user when they upload the model files. You're welcome to track the updates in the future via sending an email quoting this wish id to the Forge support channel.
Note. Triggering your own translation job to override your desired translation configurations via Forge Model Derivative API on files uploaded to BIM360 will charge you for cloud credits. You will have to consider the extra costs if you want to do so, and see here for the pricing: https://forge.autodesk.com/pricing
I am using predix map components to render map. And I want to add local traffic information on the map, which need the traffic data to render the traffic layer. But it looks like google maps has no such web api for developers to get JSON or XML type traffic data.
So, I really want to know if Google can provide this web api?
I have very little experience in GIS. I am working on a project were I need to put around 120 coordinate points on a web map using openlayers 3. There are also attributes associated with these points. I added the points from a csv into arcGis. I turned them into a shapefile. I also have a web map with a satellite image of the area. It works and opens in a browser.Now what do I do? Can someone point me in the right direction. Thank you
The shapefile can be converted into a GeoJSON (e.g. with an online service or QGIS. The GeoJSON can then directly be consumed by OpenLayers:
map.addLayer(new ol.layer.Vector({
source: new ol.source.Vector({
format: new ol.format.GeoJSON(),
url: 'path/to/your.geojson'
});
});
You need to upload your shapefile on a server in order to publish it on your map via web protocols like Web Map Service (WMS) or Web Features Service (WFS).
Take a look at the OpenGeo Suite, it should get you started. You can install GeoServer locally to develop and test your application, and then migrate it all on your web server.
Another option would be to use QGIS GeoExplorer to directly have a working interface with differents options.
Is it possible to overlay an Esri Feature service onto a Google Map using the Google Maps API?
I am using feature services hosted on ArcGIS Online. Keep in mind these are feature services, not tiled map services.
From all that I've gathered, Google Maps only appears to only support tiled map rest services. Is this correct? Has anyone had success overlaying feature services?
If you've made it this far I'll give you a little background. Our systems developer has produced numerous applications using the Google Maps API, so it would be a burden at this point to rewrite everything in OpenLayers, ESRI API, Leaflet, etc. He wants to be able to consume our ArcGIS Online mapping services, which we store as features, aka. WFS. We really do not want to go the route of having to upkeep additional versions (tiles, KML, geoJSON, etc) of the same layers. I've been experimenting with on-the-fly Esri JSON to GeoJSON conversions, but I haven't had success. I'm about ready to call it and rebuild everything with the Esri API, but I figured I'd ask first. Our staff is really in love with Google Maps so it's going to be a hard sell.
Thanks
Yes, it's possible with ArcGIS Server Link for Google Maps JavaScript API V3
https://github.com/googlemaps/v3-utility-library/tree/master/arcgislink
You can retrieve both geometries and attributes from AGS through the REST API, using the Feature Class.
Alternatively, you can implement a Geometry Service on the server side and access it through GeometryService Class.
Check arcgislink documentation:
https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/googlemaps/v3-utility-library/blob/master/arcgislink/docs/reference.html
It is viable, but it may have performance issue.
You can make a call to the feature service endpoint and get all the features back as JSON response. As Esri GeoJSON is different from the common one, you need to translate the JSON response to the standard GeoJSON format, and then add to the feature collection in google maps Data Layer and apply styles.
This works if you have simple datasets. However if it is complex large polygon datasets, it will be causing network traffic when making the call. Also Google maps data layer always have performance issue when dealing with large dataset.
I recommend to use dojo/esri js API to develop the app if the data is hosted with ArcGIS server. It just doesn't make sense to buy both licenses for visualization.
Another option is to enable your ArcGIS online data to serve WMS layer too. Through that way your developer can use google maps overlay layer to overlay tiles from ArcGIS online. You can also make standard XMl request to the WMS service to get feature information.
Ok. You can convert to GeoJSON, but you're right, there's some big performance issues.
I found the easiest solution to the problem was to rewrite all our Google Maps API using ESRI Leaflet.
https://esri.github.io/esri-leaflet/
Leaflet is much easier to implement than the standard ESRI API. Didn't take long to rewrite and have the same functionality.
