Roads and Highways for Server
With Esri Roads and Highways for Server, you can publish your Esri Roads and Highways LRS networks and registered event layers as map services. As services, your linear referenced data can be shared to your organization. Networks and events can be consumed by any client application compatible with ArcGIS Server map services. Additionally, developers can use the ArcGIS web APIs to create web and connected mobile applications to visualize your data.
Esri Roads and Highways for Server extends the existing ArcGIS for Server map service with an additional REST service capability for linear referencing. These additional REST services, provided by Esri Roads and Highways for Server, support capabilities such as the following:
- 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/or 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 Roads and Highways REST API - Overview for more information.
