getting the time zone with xRoute

This forum deals with any kind of routing computation whether it is simple A:B-routing, calculation of isochrones, simple matrix computation or nearest search.

getting the time zone with xRoute

Post by dsc »

Hi,

you can determine the time zone for each stop and segment along the route.
The time zone for xServers is defined as UTC-offset. If you know the offset to UTC at a given position, you know the timezone of this position.

First you need correctly installed Feature Layer PTV_TimeZones - thats the basic Featue Layer used by all time dependend Feature Layers (PTV_TrafficIncidents, PTV_SpeedPatterns, ...)

Then you just have to set the [ResultListOption] <utcOffsets="true">

For Example I also used PTV_SpeedPaterns in this request:

Code: Select all

You then get the absolute UTC-offsets in you routing result like:

Code: Select all

                        :
        <ns3:wrappedSegments>
          <ns3:RouteListSegment utcOffset="60" countryCode="" iuCode="52" vNorm="0" nC="CITY_ROAD" accDist="157" accTime="18" dirInfoIdx="-1" streetNameIdx="-1" streetNoIdx="-1" nodeC="2" firstNodeIdx="0" polyC="3" firstPolyIdx="0">
            <ns3:wrappedFeatureDescriptions>
              <ns3:FeatureDescription description="freeFlowSpeed=53|driveType=0" themeId="PTV_SpeedPatterns"/>
            </ns3:wrappedFeatureDescriptions>
          </ns3:RouteListSegment>
                        :
                        :
                        :
          <ns3:RouteListSegment utcOffset="60" countryCode="" iuCode="52" vNorm="0" nC="CITY_ROAD" accDist="2371" accTime="330" dirInfoIdx="-1" streetNameIdx="7" streetNoIdx="-1" nodeC="2" firstNodeIdx="42" polyC="2" firstPolyIdx="49">
            <ns3:wrappedFeatureDescriptions>
              <ns3:FeatureDescription description="freeFlowSpeed=44|driveType=0" themeId="PTV_SpeedPatterns"/>
            </ns3:wrappedFeatureDescriptions>
          </ns3:RouteListSegment>
          <ns3:RouteListSegment utcOffset="60" countryCode="" iuCode="52" vNorm="0" nC="CITY_ROAD" accDist="2412" accTime="337" dirInfoIdx="-1" streetNameIdx="7" streetNoIdx="-1" nodeC="2" firstNodeIdx="43" polyC="2" firstPolyIdx="50">
            <ns3:wrappedFeatureDescriptions>
              <ns3:FeatureDescription description="freeFlowSpeed=48|driveType=0" themeId="PTV_SpeedPatterns"/>
            </ns3:wrappedFeatureDescriptions>
          </ns3:RouteListSegment>
        </ns3:wrappedSegments>
        <ns3:wrappedStations>
          <ns3:WayPoint utcOffset="60" countryCode="" wayPointType="START" manoeuvreIdx="0" segmentIdx="0" nodeIdx="0" polyIdx="0" iuCode="52" accDist="0" accTime="0">
            <ns3:locationCoord wkb="AAAAAAFAGEoCr70Ec0BIzfn+uHEP"/>
            <ns3:matchCoord wkb="AAAAAAFAGEn7hEVJi0BIzfkSu26B"/>
          </ns3:WayPoint>
          <ns3:WayPoint [b]utcOffset="60" countryCode="" wayPointType="DEST" manoeuvreIdx="3" segmentIdx="40" nodeIdx="44" polyIdx="51" iuCode="52" accDist="2412" accTime="337">
            <ns3:locationCoord wkb="AAAAAAFAGGfzkXTBekBIzQPWxHJg"/>
            <ns3:matchCoord wkb="AAAAAAFAGGgARfsq50BIzQTlnmYY"/>
          </ns3:WayPoint>
        </ns3:wrappedStations>
                        :
P.S.: With this method you may also get the time zone for a particiular coodinate - therefore just calculate the route with the given coordinate as first and the same coodinate with a slight offset as second waypoint.

Hope this Info is of interest ;-)


Cheers
