Publish networks and event layers as a map service

Using Esri Roads and Highways for Server, you can publish your LRS Networks and registered event layers as a map service. As a map service, your linear referenced data can be shared to the enterprise and published to your organizational account at ArcGIS Online. Networks and events can be consumed by any client app that can consume an ArcGIS Server map service, including existing ArcGIS Desktop web, and mobile clients. In addition, web developers can use the ArcGIS Server Web APIs to develop web and connected mobile apps against your linear referenced data.

Compatibility with desktop solutions

Use the following details to install and maintain desktop clients that are compatible with your Roads and Highways for Server installation.

Add the Linear Referencing capability to map services

Roads and Highways for Server extends the existing ArcGIS Server map service with an additional REST service capability for linear referencing. These additional REST services, provided by Roads and Highways for Server, support the following capabilities:

• Provide LRS-based network and event layer information.
• Translate coordinate locations to routes and measures.
• Translate (Locate) routes and measures to coordinates or polylines.
• Validate route and measure values.
• Convert measures from one LRM to another.
• Multilayer, transactional event editing, with support for overlap retirement and coincident event merging.

Roads and Highways provides online developer help for the Roads and Highways REST services exposed by the Linear Referencing capability. See Esri Linear Referencing REST API - Overview for more information.

Provides JavaScript web developer samples

To demonstrate the pattern of use of the REST services exposed by Roads and Highways for Server, the server product comes packaged with JavaScript developer samples. These developer samples demonstrate how a web or connected mobile developer would do the following:

• Visualize networks on a map.
• Visualize events on a map.
• Locate measures on a route.
• Perform spatial and attribute queries for routes.
• Perform spatial, measure, and attribute queries for events.
• Convert routes and measures to coordinates.
• Convert coordinates to routes and measures.
• Convert measures between linear referencing methods (LRMs).

Roads and Highways provides online hosted versions of these developer samples. See Esri Roads and Highways: Sample Web Applications for more information.

Edit event data on the web using Event Editor

Event Editor is a web app provided by Roads and Highways for Server that supports editing of event data in a web browser. More information about Event Editor can be found at Event Editor user guide.
