What's New in ArcGIS for Public Transit?

hello everybody this is Shayla Martin with ESRI thanks for joining us today we're here today to talk about what's new in ArcGIS for public transit and just a few logistics before we get started to kind of familiarize you with the the webinar format on the right hand side of your screen you're going to see the GoToWebinar toolbar you'll see a section there for handouts where we've uploaded some relevant content and material that you're able to download there's also an area over there for questions if you want to go ahead and type in any questions that you have throughout the presentation we will be monitoring this and at the end we'll make sure to have some time to answer questions the transit team at ESRI is planning to hold eight of these webinars this year next webinar is scheduled for February 28th and the topic will be effective transit route and stop level planning with T best the list of webinars can be found at s recom forward slash transportation and you'll just check the webinars tab on that website so I'm going to go ahead and introduce J Hagin he is the solution engineer for the for our public transit team here at ESRI and he's going to cover various topics today so welcome J hey thanks Shayla good morning everyone or good afternoon or maybe even good evening depending on where you're at I'm real excited to be sharing some stuff with you today so let's take a look at some of the stuff we have planned for you today so like Shayla said we're going to be doing about eight of these eight of these webcasts this year we'll try to keep these to about an hour keep it nice and nice and tight hopefully you'll get some good information out of this so for today just gonna kind of do a broad overview of some new technology that's been coming out some of those stuff was even kind of new to me so it was fun to kind of learn about some of this stuff so hopefully you'll find this interesting and most importantly useful within your within your job so today I plan on covering the all new redesigned Collector for ArcGIS and a lot of you may already be familiar with Collector it's been out for a few years now it's one of our most popular applications it's really designed around field data collection but it's been redesigned and there's some really great enhancements that I think you'll really like and people take advantage of I'm also going to quickly cover a new app that's in development it's called quick capture it's a rapid data collection application and it's really designed for just really quickly collecting information so while you're driving down the street even as a passenger you can be collecting information about assets or conditions whatever it is it might be that you want to collect um after that we're gonna dive into some ArcGIS content so not only are we a software company here at ESRI but we also are a geographic data and content organization so we have thousands of data layers that we make available to you through the living Atlas so I'll do a review of that and show you how you can leverage that information I also want to cover some live data sources that you can leverage for operational awareness there's some freely available data that you can plug in you can even plug in your own data if you have it as well to have a live view of of what's going on whether that's weather traffic or if you have the information even your live bus locations and then I'm gonna wrap up with ESRI maps for public policy this is a new application that we have it's a web application for quickly kind of throwing together some maps for I like to think of them for executives so you need to quickly make some maps that show maybe some population statistics for your city and send that off to an executive you can use this application to easily share that kind of content then we're going to turn it back over to Shayla Shayla is gonna review new arcgis user types those of you that are using ArcGIS online you might have noticed that your user type has changed names so Chaillot is going to talk a little bit about that and what that means for you some really exciting stuff there as well a lot more flexibility and how you can leverage your accounts now and then we'll wrap up with questions and answers so let's go ahead and jump in and let's take a look at collector I'm gonna be mostly working from a browser today so I will be showing there is webpages when I'm finished I can throw some of these links into the chat window so that you have them as well so you can go back and look at those at your own on your own leisure so a collector for ArcGIS this is a modal mobile data collection application we like to think of it as kind of a map centric way of collecting data so if you were happen to be on our previous webcast I went over configuring survey 1 2 3 which we think of this kind of a form centric way of collecting data well collect there's a map centric way of collecting data so it allows you to come in to view a map you can collect new features delete existing features update existing features update the attribute table and so forth and I'm guessing a lot of you are probably at least familiar with this you've heard of it you might even be using it well collector has been completely redesigned and there's some really nice enhancements there so let's take a look at the what's new page here so just kind of looking at the high level at the bullet points we have better looking more performant Maps so the new maps within collector can lab leverage vector tiling so that's kind of a newer way of serving out base maps the great thing about vector tiles versus traditional raster tiling is that it's a lighter weight data package so especially if you're grilling Lots line it's a it's a smaller data download they render much more quickly and they're able to be modified whereas a raster is a photo you can't really change that you have to actually just create new raster tiles vector tiles you can adjust the styling better use of screen real estate so this is this is what I think's really nice if you're an existing collector user you know depending on what type of device you're using it on whether it's Android versus iOS and then the type of phone the form factor might be a little bit different but generally speaking you know you have a map on your screen and then you want to collect some data the map goes away you have to fill out the attribute and it could be a little bit clunky to go back and forth between the map well they've stalled that now so now you can actually be looking at the map and collecting attribute information if you want to you can pull that attribute table up and it's just a cleaner way of collecting the data and will see that there's a new way of collecting location data so if with the previous the the I think we're calling it the classic version of collector which is still available you would have to hold down on the map with the with your fingerprint and try to adjust where you wanted to place a point now there's just a crosshair and you can actually see where you're trying to put that point what we'll take a look at that as well improves form so like I said the form layout is much easier to use the buttons that you need are accessible so if you need to take a photo or have an attachment those buttons are right there at the top really easy to find much easier to use streamlined offline workflows so now taking Maps offline is a lot easier now and as somebody who's creating these maps you can add pre-planned map areas so that the mobile data collectors can just download that map they don't have to do that configuration on the app itself you can have those maps ready to go for them I'm just some improved tools so you can work with a legend now there's navigation built in to collector now so if you know you're looking at an existing feature and your collector map you can actually get driving directions to that location now which is really nice you can work with 3d data now so you can collect a Z values which is really interesting so if anyone out there is collecting 3d data we're now supporting that with the collector and kind of the last point here the existing version of collector isn't gone so if you're wanting to get started with this new version of collector that's gonna be called collector the existing the old version of collector is now called classic so that's still supported it's still there so if you're relying on that for existing workflows that's not going away just yet you still have access to that so you can continue to use the classic version of collector there two separate apps so they're built on a totally different set of code so you can be running you can actually have both apps on your device so let's actually take a look at how let's take a look at this new version of collector see how it looks but before I jump into that I'd like to think about well how would we collect data so for those of you that are using collector you might know that you need to set up a feature layer or feature service within your arcgis enterprise or arcgis online and then with that you need to create a web map and make that web map available for editing to whoever needs access to that out in the field well I just wanted to show you something and of course there's a lot of ways you can create a feature service oh one interesting way that a lot of people might not be aware of is some of these configurable apps we have on our solution site so if you go to ArcGIS Aleutians ArcGIS comm excuse me we have a whole set of solutions that are built out here that you can quickly deploy and these solutions are built around a number of different verticals so within local government their solutions for land records Public Works Emergency Management law enforcement for state government agriculture economic development law enforcement so forth Emergency Management a number of different types of solutions so I would encourage you to take a look at at this website there's a lot of solutions in here that you can deploy the solutions are free to use they might require various parts of the of our software platform to implement them but the solution itself is free and it's fully supported by ESRI so if you have any issues with it you can call in the tech support and they can help you out with that so thinking about collecting some data I'm gonna go in here to local government and I'm gonna go into Public Works and these are Public Works solutions so one thing you might notice here is just because it's state government local government Public Works some of these solutions could apply to other agencies and in fact I think some of these Public Works solutions they apply to a transit agency so looking here these are a number of different solutions that you can deploy we can look at inventory right-of-way assets and that's what we're looking at here and I can create a street sign inventory and that's probably something that a transit agency would do you're probably going out there and you're tracking where your bus stop signs are what condition they're in and maybe a number of other attributes you'd want to know about that sign well here's a configurable solution that you can deploy and that will help you solve that problem so we can come in here this gives us some information about the solution what's required to deploy it software software wise and what you get if you were to download this solution so and then step-by-step instructions on how to deploy this what the workflow is like and what tools you get with that so it's all documented really well and again this is supported by ESRI so I could download this solution and deploy this but what I want to show you is another solution that we have and I'm gonna go into ArcGIS Pro here so this is an ArcGIS pro project that I have open I have no data in here this is just a blank open project I'm gonna go to my share tab and I have the arcgis solutions deployment tool here so this is a free tool that you can download it's on the solution site and again I'll provide links to this stuff in the chat a little bit later on so you have this you can deploy this tool and then it becomes this button right here under the share tab and you can quickly deploy any of these solutions that we see on the solution site so if I want to deploy the sign inventory I can use the solution deployment tool to do this I'm going to click on the solution deployment tool it opens this task list for me so tasks or something that's a feature of ArcGIS Pro but it just gives you kind of a recipe or a list to follow to deploy something here so the first step is to sign into your organization so where where is this solution going to be deployed I'm already signed in so you can see up here in the upper right hand corner I've already logged into my account so it's already saying that the progress is finished here so I'll click finish that's going to move me on to the next step deploy the solution so let's open this now this is going to give me a list of all of those solutions that are available from the solutions ArcGIS comm site so I can come into local government here and I can see all of those solutions I can also just do a search so if I search for sign this is gonna give me a number of different applications that might have sign as a keyword here we see that sign inventory so that's that sign inventory solution that we're interested in all I have to do is select this and click deploy and that's going to run the reason this has a green checkmark next to it is this is showing this has already been deployed actually deployed this yesterday because I wanted I didn't want to waste time having having this upload but in fact these actually run pretty quickly something like Simon inventory if you were to deploy this usually takes around 30 seconds and what it does is it creates a feature layer or in this case two feature layers and we'll look at that and it creates a web map and it has everything packaged up nicely so that all you have to do is open collector and you can start using it so we've already finished with that the other thing you can do is you can configure these to meet your own needs so there's a certain schema that's already been set up for a lot of these applications if you need to adjust that you can do that in this step here and then the final step is if you already have existing data you can load that data in with this step but for this particular case we're going to say that we don't have any existing data we just were just going to use the default option here so let's start collecting some data so let's look at what happened so we deployed that solution let's go back to our GIS online so I'm gonna open a new tab here will go to ArcGIS comm going to sign in and I'm going to go to my content I'm actually these these but here's what's deployed from that solution deployment tool so you can see here we have two different feature layers so you can actually collect sign information and you can collect pull information so the sign assembly itself that allows you to collect both of those types of features and then it also creates a web map for me so those are kind of the three things that you need to be able to collect information using collector so that's all all you really have to do is click that deployment button and this is what you get it's already been configured for you of course you can come in here and make any adjustments that you want but essentially you're ready to start using this right now so let's go over to collector and actually see this in action now so I'm going to pull over my iPad here bear with me one second as I get that ready okay so I'm gonna open my collector app and here I just want to show you that again you can have the classic version of collector it's still supported you can see it here on my screen let me open the new version of collector here this is signing me in and I can go to my maps tab and you can see right there in the upper left is the sign inventory map and it might be kind of difficult to see on the screen there but it even created a nice thumbnail for me too so that's taking care of a lot of that configuration that sometimes takes up a lot of time this is just the default right out of the box so let's open this up and now we can see we have a map I already collected a sign here so I wanted to show you that so I'm going to click on this existing sign this is giving some giving me the information that I've already collected but you can see here in this new layout just the way the tools are layout laid out much easier to use so I can click here in the bottom left and this is allowing me to edit this point so you can see here I can work with the map and the attributes at the same time if I want to change the location of this point you can kind of see there on the crosshair so that's much easier to use than the old version so I can I can really kind of narrow down where I need to be here I can update the point that moves that for me and when I'm ready I click Submit it's pushing that up for me if I'm ready to collect some new data I just use the button in the lower right hand corner there it's asking me what do I want to collect so maybe I want to collect a poll this time it's looking at my current location you can see here I'm inside the office but I can move this out to the street if I want to and you can see here that they have a lot of these subtypes and domains already set up for us so I can just pick from a pick list here what's the material fibreglass this is the kind of thing that you can modify before you publish if you were to go through those extra steps on the deployment tool this is just the default but you can see here you know we've worked with a lot of different agencies to see what kind of data that they collect so I've done a good job here of kind of setting this up to be used quickly when I'm finished I'll click Add point I'll click Submit and now I have my poll now I can select the poll there and now I want to associate a sign with that poll you can see on the left side about three-quarters of the way down it says collect here so now I can collect a sign at that exact same location and now collect the sign information that I need to get I could take a photo with the device I'm using I could upload attachments as well and when I'm finished I just hit submit so you can just kind of tell just kind of the user interface for this is much cleaner than the classic version of collector so I hope you get a lot of good use out of this I'm really happy with it like I said I've just started using this but I can see that there's a lot of great improvements with this so really encourage you to take a look at this new version of collector if you haven't already one thing I want to add is this just came out not too long ago right now it's available for iOS so if you're an iPad or iPhone user if you go to your App Store search for collector you'll be able to find this we should have an Android version out shortly I don't have a date for that but I would be looking for that probably within the next few weeks okay so I'm gonna get rid of the iPad there so that's just kind of a quick overview of of the new collector so while we're on the topic of data collection I would like to introduce quick capture to you and I'm not gonna spend much time on this but I was hoping to do this kind of introduce the technology to you and I think one thing I would like to know is after seeing this if you can think of ways that you could leverage this within your agency I'd really like to know about that I mean I have some ideas but I'd really like to hear from you folks you know even if you want to type into the chat window there if you have some ideas for how this could be leveraged I'd love to hear that so quick collector so this is from ESRI labs so that's kind of the I'll say the kind of the development arm so these are folks that are working on new technology pushing new things out so this has been in development for a while but it is available so you can go to your various app store so this one is supported on Android iOS and Windows and you can download quick cat I'm sure and this was really for capturing data and incidents or events very quickly and I think they refer to it as a big button app which I really like the idea is you just have a big button here you're you're not even typing anything in you're just using pre-configured features to to capture the information that you need to get here so this is an example of guardrails that are being collected so the idea is somebody could be driving down the road you could be going 30 miles an hour and the passenger can be sitting there with quick collector and they can quickly just press these buttons and be collecting information and it can be point linear or even polygon data so if there's a guardrail that starts at a certain point you can click start and as you're driving along that guardrail ends click end and it collects a linear feature for you this works in a disconnected environment in fact it's always disconnected because it's collecting that information quickly so storing it on your device you can set the refresh rate as far as uploading that data so you can wait till you get back in the office and upload the data to your database or you can have it push every 30 seconds every minute however often however often you want that update to happen you can have it push that data but the data collection itself is happening disconnected so again I'll send this link for you here but here's some of the nice features that it has so of course the offline data collection really key for when you're in locations that you don't have a cell signal but also again for that really quick data capture you don't want to be waiting for you know the internet to pick up before you start capturing that information you need that data collection to be instant because you're likely moving also a camera support so you can configure buttons for capture of photos if you want to you can tie into sensor information as well so I'll be collecting information from device sensors like your location speed direction of travel and so forth the background data capture so it's not just points but it's also lines and polygons features and of courses is configurable so you configure the buttons that you need the type of attributes that you require and much like all of our solutions and applications this requires no coding this was just a configurable app that you can deploy and be running with quickly because this is really designed to be used in a mobile moving environment kind of difficult for me to demonstrate for you as I'm in my office here but I do have a short youtube video I'm gonna pull this up for you and you can kind of see here and I said you should be a passenger this person's clearly a driver so I don't recommend this but you can see on the left here this person is collecting information and on the right you can see that it's populating this map so this person is driving down the street they're collecting information about road condition maybe potholes or other things that they want to be collecting here but you can see that it's happening happening rapidly they're just pressing a button they're not collecting any attribute information beyond what's already configured there so you can see there that's just a really quick way to be able to collect that data so I'd be curious and I'd like to hear from you guys if you could think of ways that you could leverage that technology within a transit agency so you know some ideas I was thinking about is maybe you have you know transit service managers out there on the road maybe there's driving down the street and maybe they're just looking for graffiti at bus stops so you know they don't even need to necessarily get out of their vehicle they're just driving down the road oh there's graffiti hit the button which repeated to stop I'll hit the button or maybe you could have a bus driver interface to where the bus driver could quickly collect some information so if you have any thoughts on ways you could use this I'd love to hear about that and I'd also like to pass that along to our product team because that's really where they get these ideas from hearing from folks like you that use the technology okay so those are kind of the two data collection methods that I wanted to cover today now I'd like to talk to you about some various data sources that you have available to you so I'd like to start off with the living atlas of the world and this is the living atlas webpage here living Atlas dot ArcGIS com you're ever unsure about an ArcGIS website it's usually the product named ArcGIS com that's what I've learned and Google or other search engines are always your friend but I will provide some links for you so the living atlas is a collection of geographic data that Ezra has curated and we think of it as the largest atlas actually in the history of the world which is kind of cool to think about but it's literally thousands of different data layers data that Ezra has collected created and updated but also data from other trusted sources and maybe even users like yourself so you know but we'd like to get the authoritative data source so lots of data within here so I'd encourage you to browse this we come into the Browse tab here we can see all of the different types of data that are available here so we could look at trending data for example so current events and this gives us information about current events within transit we're probably interested in various demographic information so maybe I'm interested in income information so this gives me data layers that pertain to income and again this is a global data set so if I'm interested in just a particular region so if I want to look at the United States this is narrowing down that information and you can see if there's a lot of information usage of H&R Block vs. TurboTax just a lot of very cool and interesting data that you can make use of and of course all of this is web enabled so you can bring this into your ArcGIS web Maps whether you're using enterprise or ArcGIS online you can make use of this and in fact I'll show you how you can do this so here I'm using ArcGIS online this could be a enterprise with portal just as well I am logged into my account here and I can add some data so i'm gonna click add data and you might notice you might have seen this before you can browse living atlas later so this is your connection to that living atlas data so just scrolling through here you can see some information but you can also sort this by relevance date modified different categories so those are those categories that we saw on the webpage or of course you can just do a search so i'm gonna do a search for tapestry and this is the US tapestry segmentation data one thing i want to point out about this is whenever you pull up this living atlas content there's a few different icons here so this is showing us that this is a Thorat ativ data it's recommended by ESRI you know we kind of back it up so whether in this case this is an ESRI layer but even if it comes from a authoritative source what we'll put that we recommend that if it's a trusted data source this is within the living Atlas this is as recreated and then this guy here this is showing that this this particular layer is premium content so you do have to be a subscriber to use this information what that means is this is using some some of your credits to render the map it's not a lot of credits but I do want to make that a clear to you that on some of these not and that's not all of the content the living at atlas just a few of the layers that often these proprietary data those ones do have a slight credit association with it so we can add this layer now and what's nice is a lot of these layers scale for us so when we're looking here you know we're looking at the lower 48 we're getting a county view of this and you can click on any of these and it gives you a nice pop-up that's been set up for you but as I said a lot of these scales so I'm in the Denver area so I'll zoom in on Denver here and you can see as I'm doing this let me switch over to my legend here you can see now we're at the zip code level and as i zoom in a little bit further down to the census tract and in this case we can even get down to the block group so the some of this data is pretty gets down to a pretty fine geography here this tapestry data can be pretty useful for a transit agency because it gives a nice summary of that particular community so we've taken the entire United States and our demographics team has divided it up into a number of different neighborhood types and I think there's 50 or 60 some-odd types of neighborhoods but I think what's interesting is if you were to go in and look at your neighborhood you'll probably see it described your neighborhood pretty well so for this particular block group here this is giving the population the median age diversity and index the median income disposable income but then it's also telling me that the predominant tapestry type is the social security set so I can click on that and this gives me just a nice profile of what this community is so this is an older market it's usually in metropolitan cities probably a little bit of an older population they live alone a lot of rental properties here's some socio-economic traits and a lot of times this could be good to use if you're trying to do some community outreach and you're not really sure you know what's the best method of of doing outreach that is going to really get the audience that we want I mean this tells you that TV is an important part so maybe a TV commercial would make sense versus putting something in a newspaper for example this gives kind of a demographic profile of this type of neighborhood here you get a market profile which is kind of adds upon that so this tells you that you know the dependent on Medicare and Medicaid so you know that a lot of that stuff can kind of tie in to transit planning so you know that that type of neighborhood probably lower-income they're going to be transit R'lyeh they may need to visit doctors and hospitals and clinics maybe more often than the average neighborhood so you can tie all this kind of information into your planning and then of course this is kind of the national map of where these types of communities are located and one other thing and show here is you can always adjust the visibility range and for these it's nice to apply some transparency so you can always still see your little base map there as well just one more example of how you could leverage this data welcome in here I'm gonna search for actually instead of searching for a layer let's just say that I'm going to plan a new route and I'm interested in some of the demographics around my proposed route well what I could do is I can come in here and I can add map notes now let's call this the pros route and this creates a new we call it map notes but this is just a another geographic layer so I can select a line here let's just draw a proposed route and we'll say it goes down Sheraton Boulevard here in Denver cuts across Colfax mmm goes up here it's kind of a weird route but we'll say this is our proposed route and little bit difficult to see so let's come in here I'm not sure why my symbology actually it might be in here I changed symbol apologize I was expecting it to be over there we'll make this read a little bit thicker okay so now we can see it alright so I have this will say this is my proposed route but now I'm curious about the demographics well I have this now and within my content here and my perform analysis button is here and this gives me access to all the online analysis tools I'm one thing I can use as data enrichment and data enrichment gives you access to a lot of different data variables that are available through the living Atlas so if I want to know about income for example I can explore different income variables I can bring in will say the MU I want to know the median household income so I'll apply that and I can add multiple variables here and then it's asking me what what's the service area essentially so you can use a linear distance and we'll use a linear distance of we'll say 0.5 miles and we can run this analysis and what this is going to show me is it's actually taking a look at the line it's creating that buffer for me and it's extracting that data from the living Atlas and making that part of my layer here so I'll be able to use the attributes and in this case I want to be looking at the median household income so look at that just a second to finish up there excuse me now you can see that we have this proposed route line that has been enriched so I turn this off and turn this off and when I click on this now this is give me some information so this is telling me that the median household income within a half mile of this line is fifty thousand seven hundred and ninety seven dollars so it's not a way that you can leverage that content that ESRI is making available to you they're just some other things that I find really interesting and I think could be really useful two that are available through the living Atlas and through ArcGIS content this is what we call the world imagery wayback machine so what this is collection of aerial photography over time so you can compare and contrast how changes have happened in a particular neighborhood so I want to go to a place where I know there's been some changes I'm gonna go - I'm gonna st. Louis I know that there has been some work done at the arch grounds I'm gonna zoom in on that area so just starting off here we're looking at the newest imagery that's available I'm gonna turn off the overlay so we can just see the photography here what's great about this imagery is when you click on it it's giving you some great metadata so this is telling me this is coming from the East West Gateway Council of Governments that's the Council of Governments for st. Louis told me when it was captured tells me about the resolution and the accuracy so metadata is right there your fingertips you don't have to wonder what's the vintage what's the resolution and so forth it's right there and it just tells you but again this is the Wayback Machine so I'm gonna zoom in a little bit and this is where a lot of the work has been happening you can kind of see there that there's been some construction here but I can using my way back over a little bit I can go back in time you can see here on the heavy white lines this is where we have a different vintage of photography so I can click on this this is updating that photography and now you can see I'm in the wrong spot let's go back a little bit so you can see here how this has changed the street you can see here they're building that kind of land bridge that goes over the highway there but I can continue to go back in time and you know if you're doing some type of an assessment looking at you know maybe different construction projects that are happening in your city or how land use has changed and so forth you can make use of this way back imagery another thing that's great about this is you can grab whatever vintage you want here select this and you can add this to an ArcGIS online map so you can grab these different layers bring it into ArcGIS online and your web map viewer and use it there and then mash it up with other data you don't just have to use this particular viewer to use this data some other thing as I wanted to show you is how you can leverage some wide data sources so again coming in here and would help if I signed in and let's just go in I'll go back to the Denver area here and I can add content and I can search for layers but there's various data sources that are available here that make use of wide content that are freely available so you can do a search for National Weather Service here and search the Living Atlas again and there's a number of different layers you can use here so there's USA weather warnings and watches we'll bring that in there's the radar imagery snowfall forecast storm reports I mean there's just a whole wealth of data here that you can make use of what's great about this though is this is actually live data this is live information so as I'm looking at this let me turn off the snowfall forecast and the warnings you can see here it's if you could see out my window it is actually snowing and that's this is a live radar view so you can have that real-time awareness here so you can bring in the size of information if we don't look at the snowfall forecast we could bring that in so not much snow up to one inch not too bad warnings and watches we're okay here in Denver but up in the mountains looks like there's a winter weather advisory so this is live content coming from the National Weather Service that you can make use of some other content you can bring in something to look at subscription layers here you can bring in ways live alerts so they're not familiar with ways it's kind of a crowdsourcing app that people use gives them driving directions but folks can also report traffic information so there a traffic jam is there a block in the road things like that different different road conditions is that snowy things like that well ways makes that data available for you and it's through a subscription service but the subscription is free so you can actually sign up three ways and I'll provide a link to you for that but generally speaking a non-profit and government agencies can make use of the the Waze content and bring that in so I'm gonna add in this data layer this is just online content I can pull this in with my subscription and this is showing me all the ways alerts and we can see here that looking for a crazy here in Denver right now probably because it's snowing but this is just information that you can have available within your map so once you've created this map call us my operations view I'll save this so now I have web map saved I could then share this with other folks really the probably the best thing to do would be to create a web app and make an Operations dashboard it's also open the Operations dashboard configuration for me and then what I can do is I have this map now but I can configure different widgets around this map so maybe I want a list and I want a list of the ways alerts and I can come in and I can configure all this and now this is giving me a list of ways alerts now if I was gonna take the time to do this I would give this an appropriate title probably the type of alert that it is I can have the zoom in on the location and so forth but really once you've gone through all of this you can create some really great and interactive dashboards and I want to show you a couple examples of that some that we've been working on this is an example that we're working on for Hawaii so here you can see we're bringing in those ways alerts and I can logging the types of alerts that are coming in I can it's flashing on the screen there you can also see that I have the weather information in here as well but they're also able to stream in their ABL information as well so I can see in real time where are these buses located in this case how far off schedule are they because they make that information available through their feed so this is a list of buses by in this case they're arranged in order of how far behind they are and this particular one is 61 minutes off schedule but I bet it's probably just sitting at the garage which we zoom in here yes this is the bus garage hundreds of buses there so it's probably actually not late but this is giving out real-time operations view here so I can go to the particular bus that I'm looking for or zoom in on it it's showing me where it's at in real time but then I also have this traffic information in here as well so I can view what the traffic situation is so maybe it's late I can see oh well it's stuck in a traffic jam you know could we think about doing a reroute or some type of and do a reroute maybe send out an RSS or text transit riders letting them know that the bus is late similar note this is consuming real-time information this is AVL information from New York MTA buses and as you can tell they have a lot of buses in service so the way we're rendering this is by a grid we can see here in this grid there's 487 buses but as we zoom in we'll get that live view of the buses and we're also getting those ways alerts as well so here I can see what bus what bus I'm looking at but then I also have the Waze alerts this is just another configuration of the operations dashboard then I can also have some other Maps configured or the weather feed so I don't want all of that one map I can do this in various other tabs so here I can see weather watches and warnings this is tell me there's a winter storm watch here's the precipitation forecast this is telling me that you know we're expecting maybe a tenth of an inch of precipitation here and then here they're looking at snowfall and then in New York and the summertime you have act of hurricanes now this one's empty because there's no act of hurricanes right now but snowfall could be an issue and right now it doesn't look like there's anything predicted there but again we're making use of freely available information and just pulling that in to a dashboard so I'd encourage you to do the same now the one piece that you're not going to find is the ABL data to configure a BLT we're usually using something like Geo event processor so geo event is a server role that we have geo event server and it allows you to bring in your real-time information here so I looked at the Hawaii buses in this case this is the Geo event service that's running in here and this is just pulling in the XML data that's being published by the transit agency so if your agency pushes out a VL data to developers either through XML or GTFS real-time or really any number of other types of services you can probably create an input for that so if I do a search for GTFS this allows me to configure a connector for GTFS real-time information and allows me to do my ADL data so this is getting a little bit further into the technology here this is a server deployment I just wanted to make you aware of this if you wanted to consume your your AVL data there are ways to do that okay and finally for me to wrap up I want to show you maps for public policy so this is a new web app that's been put together by our living Atlas Timur and our content team and the idea here is to be able to create maps that really drive public policy and really help with data-driven decisions so there's a lot of things you can explore here but I think the best way to do this is to look at your location so I'm just gonna pick a city here and I'm gonna pick Louisville Kentucky and it's asking me a topic what do I want to explore I'm gonna look at population and this is gonna launch ESRI maps for public policy for me here and it's gonna be zoomed in on Louisville and it's going to give me a collection of maps and in this case related to population so there's a collection of eight maps here that it chose for me I can scroll through these maps so this is showing male and female population this is showing total population population under 18 predominant language education poverty risk so a lot of information that's available within here here we go zoomed out so it collects these maps for me and I can quickly just take a look at these and what's great about this is if I want to remove one of these maps from my collection I can so say I'm not interested in the total population map I can remove that it's not showing me that I have 7 maps here but maybe I want to add more maps to my collection so I can come in here look at social equity for example and I'm interested in access to opportunity I can click that and this has given me some information about access so here's a super market access map teen employment rate male and female disconnected youth well I can view any one of these maps or I can add it to my collection so I just did that here now my eighth map is the super market access map there's a lot of great information in here so there's information about multimodal transportation for example Zinn come in here predominant means of transportation and it's actually already in my collection but I can see that here but the idea is is once you've collected once you've created your collection and you can have as many maps as you want in this you can then share this with policymakers executives whoever needs access to this information so all I have to do is I can click this button here this creates an email for me so it's populated the email for me it's telling so this is kind of a generic I was exploring policy maps found this collection here's what I found here's the link I can email that to whoever I need I could also tweet it I'll post it to Facebook or in this case I could just copy this link and send this out to whoever I want and it's going to give them that collection of maps at the at the zoom level that you are already in there's no saving that you have to do I don't know if you notice but I wasn't even signed in there nothing to sign into here this is freely available anybody can come in here and use this so this is a really great tool so this is kind of the the shared view here you don't have all of the buttons to change the collection but here you have the eight maps available to you here zoomed into the appropriate level really kind of a cool cool way to share information and I think it's pretty powerful because I know I used to work in public transit is a solution or not solution engineer so I do know as a GIS specialist a lot of times I was asked hey can you just go together a few maps that show population density and income well I would have to go in and find that data you know scrub the data publish a map probably a PDF will here really quick web application don't even have to sign in pull in the maps I need so not the link good to go so hopefully all that's useful for for you I hope hope you take some time to explore that I will make those links available to you but at this time now I'm gonna switch over to Shayla and she's gonna talk a little bit about new user types so Shayla if you're ready I'm ready you should be good to go now okay I'm hoping that you guys can see this PowerPoint and I'll make this really quick because I know we're coming around to the end of our hour here as we responded to requests from customers in creating new user types we got a lot of feedback people you know asked about you know hey could we do something in between level one level two and so this is kind of a result of that and this took place in ArcGIS online in December 2018 and this change will also happen in enterprise ten seven when it's released in March it will not happen unless you make that upgrade and so just to kind of put that out as a little bit of background as far as the timing goes for these just wanted to point out the different types now formally known as level one would be your viewer and so this is the person who can just log in and view only all the things that the person on the upper-right the Creator has made so the Creator was formerly known as level two and so this person has full access to everything in arcgis online they're able to create maps and apps they're able to do spatial analysis share things and basically have all the same access that they ever had before when they were called a level two user type and so you will have noticed with your arcgis online users that now if you go in to administer arcgis online that those are now called viewers and creators and so all of the access that the people had who were assigned to those particular users will remain the same the only change that you'll see is the title change for those so we've added three other types going on the second level down the editor is somebody who has access to view all of the items that they have access to in arcgis online and they're able to edit and add spatial data to to their layers that they have access to and so this might be a person for a transit agency where if somebody calls in with an update on an asset they're able to just go in and make those updates versus the field worker who is able to use field data collection apps and go out and and edit that data using those apps for real-time data collection and so the final user type is the GIS professional and so this particular user type has all the same access as the level two formerly known as level two and creator type but this particular license comes with a license to arcgis pro and so all of these user types as were the the level named users before our one-year annual term licenses and so that remains the same so with that GIS professional with the arcgis pro license that they get that's a one-year term license so moving along to the next slide we'll talk about the capabilities and apps for each user type so that the user types each come with a certain bundle of apps the viewer has kind of the least amount of access because they're just getting into ArcGIS essential apps viewer only mode and so that that one's pretty self-explanatory and we'll go over what the app bundles are on the next slide so for editing purposes and actually something to point out all user types do have access to the ArcGIS essential apps bundle and so the editor and the field worker are actually able to go in and edit verses where the viewer is just able to view only and then the difference between the editor and the field worker is that the field apps bundle comes with the field worker user type and they're able to use those apps in the field to enter data so we talked about the creator and the GIS professional they basically have access to everything with the only difference between the two being that license to arcgis pro so moving along to the next slide we've got the different types of apps and so the essential apps basically allow all of the users to go in and view the apps and maps that they have access to with their named user with their logon and so the viewer is able to view the maps view the story maps and the dashboards just not able to do any editing where the editor and field worker of course are able to you'll see that the field apps bundle has collector and survey one two three those are both for gathering data and then workforce which is for being assigned the data the office apps bundle as the creator and the GIS professional to use maps for office and maps for SharePoint as well and of course everybody would like to know about pricing and so as as with formerly the level one which is now the viewer is still $100 per license creator is five hundred and then the other options allow for a little bit of flexibility where you know people didn't necessarily need to have all of the access and all the capabilities of the Creator so field worker slightly less expensive and then the editor is less expensive as they have a little bit less access than the field worker so the GIS professional starts at seven hundred dollars and the reason it says starting at 700 is with the ArcGIS Pro licenses you've got your basic standard and advanced and so those are priced differently so I did include my email address here if anyone has any questions on this and J I'll go ahead and bring it back to you that was all I had on user types and so we're able to take question and answer at this time if I don't know if anybody has submitted any any question but actually there's yeah looks like there's quite a few questions here um let's try to go through some of these here this up so what is the position accuracy for collector collector uses the location services of your device so if you're using an iPad or a phone or a tablet of some sort it's gonna be using the internal location accuracy of that device now you can set an accuracy threshold and collector to say don't collect the point if it's doesn't meet the you know within 5 meters or sub meter or whatever it might be whatever your accuracy requirement is you can also call a connect collector to an external GPS device so if you need that really high accuracy there's a lot of I'll say relatively cost effective Bluetooth GPS devices that give you really good accuracy that you can connect to to your mobile device and stream in the collector so it's so that answer the questions using the accuracy of the device or whatever device you're connected to next question all the solutions apps a lot of them are applications but a lot of them are just configurations for for example arcgis pro so if you need to do crime analysis for example there are some arcgis pro tools in there that you can download from the solution site and it gives you a nice toolbar to do crime analysis within arcgis pro so if you just go through there and look some of them are apps some of them are our web app configuration some of them are additions to the desktop software it really varies so some suggestions it looks like for the use of quikcapture like bond look looking at the accessibility it stops cast chat excuse me capturing passenger counts would be good yeah are all the data in the living Atlas free to download and use yes with the exception of of that some of that premium content so the tapestry data for example we'll use some credits for viewing that data but otherwise it's free to use in it it will notify you if you need to use those credits so one of the uses of quick capture suggestions for connecting to a Raspberry Pi with a sensor I hadn't heard of that yet so this is a very new application so we're really kind of looking for those use cases so if anyone out there wants to take a stab at using quick capture and let me know how it goes and I'd love to hear maybe using it for rail transit safety I think that makes sense yeah especially a rail operator you could be capturing some information as you're going down the alignment is that through the GTFS real-time feed assume that's in reference to the dashboards so the Hawaii dashboard is actually using an XML feed that the transit agency makes available the new york feed the MTA feed was coming from GTFS real-time so both those agencies make that feed available to the public so we just scraped those pulled in through geo event and created that dashboard see it's collector integrated with cro well I wouldn't say so it's all interconnected through web GIS so with collector you're collecting information it's going into your system of Records so whether that's ArcGIS online or our chest Enterprise but as that data is being collected you can pull that in to arcgis pro for further analysis or further editing or you know if you need to add delete points so since it's all connected through web GIS i will say that they are integrated but there's really no I guess direct connection necessarily between the two applications other than web GIS you're consuming the same data source is live traffic available for South Africa I believe it is I believe the traffic service that we have available is for the world I would encourage you to explore that though to make sure but I believe the traffic service is available throughout the throughout the world for most locations live alerts from Waze was last updated 2017 um I'm not sure when that's in reference to maybe there was a could be an incorrect attribute maybe that was showing I'm not sure but those those ways feeds are alive because I've I've kind of watched them throughout the day and they changed as traffic patterns change updated can we have the Waze data in ArcGIS online that should be real-time and in fact I've brought in our traffic service and the Waze data alerts and they always line up really well together there are two completely different services but you'll see the Waze alerts lay right on top of where we're showing traffic jams in our service so it is real-time that kind of looks like it for the question that I know we went a little bit over time here but I do appreciate you all participating today I hope this was useful for you I did put some links in the chat window so if you have a second go ahead and grab those real quick and bookmark those take a look at that and with that said we'll finish up and we'll hope to see you on the next webcast thank you you
