Segment Updates

HTTP POST URL Format

The following format is used for HTTP POST requests. HTTP POST is used to set a persistent update to a segment.


HTTP POST:  /rest/Spatial/erm/databases/dbsource/persistentUpdates/segments/segment_id.json?query_parameters

Where dbsource is the name of the database to update the route data, and segment_id is the identifier of the segment to update. Use the database name specified in the Enterprise Routing Module Routing Database Resource tool.

HTTP GET URL Format

The following format is used for HTTP GET requests. HTTP GET is used to return a list of persistent updates for segments.


HTTP GET:  /rest/Spatial/erm/databases/dbsource/persistentUpdates/segments/segment_id.json

or

HTTP GET:  /rest/Spatial/erm/databases/dbsource/persistentUpdates/segments.json?segments=segment_id

Where dbsource is the name of the database to return to persistent updates from, and segment_id is the segment to return updates.

Note: The first format is used to return the persistent update for only one segment. The second format is used to return either multiple segments or all segments. For multiple segments, use a comma separated list of segment ids. For all segments, use an empty segments= parameter. See examples below.

HTTP DELETE URL Format

The following format is used for HTTP DELETE requests. HTTP DELETE is used to remove a specific persistent update to a segment.


HTTP DELETE:  /rest/Spatial/erm/databases/dbsource/persistentUpdates/segments?mo=segment_id&resetType=query_parameters

Where dbsource is the name of the database, and segment_id is the identifier of the segment to update that contains the persistent update to remove. Use the database name specified in the Enterprise Routing Module Routing Database Resource tool.

Query Parameters

The HTTP POST operation takes the following query parameters.

Parameter Type Required Description
exclude String no Exclude the specified segment from all route calculations. The parameter’s existence in the URL specifies whether to exclude, not the parameter value.
velocity String no This is a speed update where you define the new speed of the segment by specifying the new velocity. The default unit is mph (miles per hour) unless you specify the velocityUnit parameter.
velocityUnit String no

This is a unit of speed for the velocity or velocityAdjustment. For speed updates, the velocity unit can have one of the following values: mph (miles per hour) and kph (kilometers per hour). The default value is mph.
velocityAdjustment String no This is a speed update where you define a change in the speed of the segment by specifying the change in velocity (unit and value). Speed values can be increased (positive value) or decreases (negative value). The default unit is mph (miles per hour) unless you specify the velocityUnit parameter.
velocityPercentage Integer no This is a speed update where you define an increase in the speed of the segment by specifying a percentage to increase (positive value) or decrease (negative value) the speed.
roadType String no

This is an update where you define the new road type of the segment. The road type can be one of the following:

  • access way
  • back road
  • connector
  • ferry
  • footpath
  • limited access dense urban
  • limited access rural
  • limited access suburban
  • limited access urban
