Point Options
This set of preferences allows you to set the point updates for each persistent update. Point updates are changes applied to a corresponding point (Latitude, Longitude). For a particular point, you can: exclude the point, set the speed of the point or change (increase or decrease) the speed of the point by a value or percentage.
You can add only one point at a time by specifying the longitude and latitude values and selecting the desired update to be applied. You can only modify the updates corresponding to a single point at a time. While modifying, the selected point and the corresponding updates will be displayed, however you can not change latitude and longitude of the point.
You must specify a Point which consists of a Latitude and Longitude, then specify the type of point update. Each request can contain one or more updates.
Option Parameter |
Description |
---|---|
Select Database |
The name of the database that contains the data to use in the update process. Use the database name specified in the Spectrum Spatial Routing Database Resource tool. For more information, see the Spectrum Technology Platform Administration Guide. |
Coordinate System |
The coordinate system of the input coordinates. For more information on EPSG codes, see www.spatialreference.org. To retrieve a list of supported codespaces for EPSG, you can submit the SOAP request List Supported CoordSys by Code Space from the Geometry Service Demo page at |
Latitude/Longitude Point |
The point to perform the persistent update. You must specify a point which consists of a Latitude and Longitude. |
Exclude |
This is a string value to exclude the specified point from all route calculations. To exclude a point you need to specify the point and include the Exclude parameter defined as Y. Valid values are Y (yes) and N (no). Select this to exclude the specified point from all route calculations. |
Override Velocity |
This is a speed update where you define the new speed of the point by specifying the velocity unit and new velocity. For speed updates, the velocity unit can have one of the following values: kph (kilometers per hour), mph (miles per hour), mtps (meters per second), mtpm (meters per minute). Select this to set the new speed of the specified point from all route calculations. Define the new Speed, and set the Speed Unit (kilometers per hour, miles per hour, meters per minute, or meters per second). |
Increase or Decrease |
Select this to increase or decrease the speed of the specified point by a defined velocity. Define the amount to increase or decrease the Speed, and set the Speed Unit (kilometers per hour, miles per hour, meters per minute, or meters per second). |
Percentage Change |
Select this to increase or decrease the speed of the specified point by a defined percentage of the points current velocity. Define the percentage (positive or negative) to increase or decrease the speed. |
SpeedIncrease |
This is a speed update where you define an increase in the speed of the point by specifying either the velocity (unit and value) or a percentage to increase the speed. For speed updates, the velocity unit can have one of the following values: kph (kilometers per hour), mph (miles per hour), mtps (meters per second), mtpm (meters per minute). |
SpeedDecrease |
This is a speed update where you define a decrease in the speed of the point by specifying either the velocity (unit and value) or a percentage to decrease the speed. For speed updates, the velocity unit can have one of the following values: kph (kilometers per hour), mph (miles per hour), mtps (meters per second), mtpm (meters per minute). |
