Track Intervals to Line

Calculates values that are computed from the difference between successively ordered features in a track. New fields are added to the input feature class or layer to store the calculated values (distance, duration, speed, and course).

1. Input Features

The input feature class or layer.

2. Output Feature Class

The output line feature class that will be created.

3. Time Field

The field in the input feature class or layer that contains date and time information. This tool requires date and time information to be contained in the same field, and the data type of the field must be Short, Long, Float, Double, Text, or Date.

4. Track ID Field (optional)

The field that contains data values which are used to group the input features into tracks. The data type of the field can be Short, Long, Float, Double, Text, or OID.

5. Distance Field Name (optional)

Specifies the name of the distance field that will be added to the input feature class or layer. If no field name is specified, a name will automatically be chosen.

6. Duration Field Name (optional)

Specifies the name of the duration field that will be added to the input feature class or layer. If no field name is specified, a name will automatically be chosen.

7. Speed Field Name (optional)

Specifies the name of the speed field that will be added to the input feature class or layer. If no field name is specified, a name will automatically be chosen.

8. Course Field Name (optional)

Specifies the name of the course field that will be added to the input feature class or layer. If no field name is specified, a name will automatically be chosen.

9. Time Field Format (optional)

If the data type of the time field is anything other than Date, this parameter determines the format that will be used to interpret data values in the time field. Either a standard Esri time format can be selected from the drop-down list, or a custom format can be entered. If the data type of the time field is numeric (Short, Long, Float, or Double), a list of standard Esri numeric time formats is provided in the drop-down list. If the data type of the time field is Text, a list of standard Esri text time formats is provided in the drop-down list. If the data type of the time field is Date, this parameter is not needed.

10. Time Field Format Locale (optional)

If the data type of the time field is Text, this parameter determines which locale will be used to interpret data values in the time field. For all time field data types other than Text, this parameter is not needed. By default, this parameter is set to the current locale of your operating system.

11. Time Field Format AM Designator (optional)

If the time field data type is Text and the time format is a 12-hour clock representation including a time marker ("t" or "tt"), then this parameter determines the character ("t") or characters ("tt") that designate AM in the time field data values. If nothing is entered, then the default AM designator for the selected locale will be used. For all time field data types other than Text, this parameter is not needed.

12. Time Field Format PM Designator (optional)

If the time field data type is Text and the time format is a 12-hour clock representation including a time marker ("t" or "tt"), then this parameter determines the character ("t") or characters ("tt") that designate PM in the time field data values. If nothing is entered, then the default PM designator for the selected locale will be used. For all time field data types other than Text, this parameter is not needed.

13. Distance Field Units (optional)

Specifies the distance units that will be used in the output distance field.

1. INCHES—Inches
2. FEET—Feet
3. YARDS—Yards
4. MILES—Miles
5. NAUTICAL_MILES—Nautical miles
6. MILLIMETERS—Millimeters
7. CENTIMETERS—Centimeters
8. METERS—Meters
9. KILOMETERS—Kilometers
10. DECIMETERS—Decimeters
11. DECIMAL_DEGREES—Decimal degrees
12. UNKNOWN_UNITS—Units are not known
13. SKIP—Skips this parameter

14. Duration Field Units (optional)

Specifies the time units that will be used in the output duration field.

1. MILLISECONDS—Milliseconds
2. SECONDS—Seconds
3. MINUTES—Minutes
4. HOURS—Hours
5. DAYS—Days
6. WEEKS—Weeks
7. MONTHS—Months
8. YEARS—Years
9. SKIP—Skips this parameter

15. Speed Field Units (optional)

Specifies the speed units that will be used in the output speed field.

1. MILES_PER_HOUR—Miles per hour
2. FEET_PER_HOUR—Feet per hour.
3. KILOMETERS_PER_HOUR—Kilometers per hour
4. MILES_PER_SECOND—Miles per second
5. FEET_PER_SECOND—Feet per second
6. METERS_PER_SECOND—Meters per second
7. KNOTS—Knots
8. SKIP—Skips this parameter

16. Course Field Units (optional)

Specifies the course units that will be used in the output course field.

1. DEGREES—Degrees
2. RADIANS—Radians
3. SKIP—Skips this parameter
