Persistent and temporary features/events
Superflous detail

Illegible labels Detail for
inaccessible
areas
Illegible icons

8. More evidence against the state…
11”

23. Application
• Services
 8 Map Services
• 1 per floor for UC maps (4)
• Labels
• Topo basemap
• Additions to topo basemap (hotels)
• Locator map
 1 Geoprocessing Service
• Running off cartographic-quality 3D network
• Built with Flex 3, ArcGIS API for Flex 2
 Room finding

24. Old Network
• Routes to
center of rooms
• Straight-line
schematics
• Missing route
segments

25. Building the new network…

26. Creating curved paths
Set arc endpoints

27. Set arc tangency

28. Densify!

29. Checking
connectivity

30. Routing Task

31. Network checker script

32. Viewable in ArcGIS for iOS

34. App flow
• Rudimentary de-coupled, event-driven architecture, some
model/controller/command elements
• Classes
 Route C
Command
d
• A command class to build, issue and handle the results from our magical gpp task
 StopsManager
• Parses the route segments into “stops” to display in the RouteNavigator using Floor/Building
combinations
 MapViewController
• Listens for MapView events and responds by setting the map extent and active floor layer
 DrawRouteCommand
• Handles drawing the route segments on the proper floors, as well as route symbology (start, end floor
transition points)
 FindRoomCommand
• Waits for a FindRoomEvent then zooms the map to the room passed by event data
FindRoomEvent, event.data
 FloorManager
• Responds to FloorChangeEvents by setting the current floor and fading the overlay layer out and in to
hide load delays
• Components
 FloorChooser
 Legend
 LocatorMap
 RouteChooser
• Where you input your desired route or room to find
 RouteNavigator
g
• Displays the route “stops”
…blah, blah, blah

35. Future work
• Link to conference agenda/personal scheduler
• Enhanced network
 Map of exhibitor space
 Exterior space (downtown San Diego)
 Time-sensitive routing
 Adding amenities
• Mobile client
