I've seen some questions tackle this issue, but havent myself found a working solution. Using ArcMap 10.2.2 Advanced with Network Analyst.   I use the Vehicle Routing Problem to route a couple delivery vehicles around, some resultant routes overlap.  Is there anyway to show all the routes at once? From my picture for instance, the intersection of the yellow/red/green lines, I would like to see all 3 travelling down Valley Blvd, instead of the highest ranked route.

Some common problems with displaying routes created from street data, such as bus routes, include:   Routes may overlap themselves, such as when a route takes the same road in opposite directions Routes may overlap other routes that take the same street. Routes are often overly detailed, or "noisy", owing to their derivation from street data. Indicating a route's direction unambiguously without overloading it with arrows can be a challenge.   What are some techniques for dealing with these issues in order to create a practical and usable route map, such as this ? Do you know of any such public transport maps that were produced by automatic techniques rather than manual illustration/digitization?  Specifically I am using ArcGIS 10, but solutions involving other software are welcome as well.  One technique I have had some success with for dealing with 1) is using ArcMap's  with a negative offset -- assuming the lines are oriented in the direction of travel, this will offset the lines such that the right and left-hand sides are distinct and oriented as you would expect (at least for  countries, for left-hand traffic countries one would use a positive offset). However the result tends to be a bit wonky around turns, interchanges and and U-turns, and is inflexible when dealing with multiple routes.  Another possibility that I am not very familiar with but which seems promising is  -- however, I have not had much luck in finding examples of using representations for transportation maps and whether it might fit the bill.

I'm working on a game () where you build buildings along real world roads. Currently investigating a feature where a player who controls the most buildings along a street gets points based on the streets length.  The problem i'm having is that streets as humans understand them do not exist as data in OSM. The best way to get a street is to traverse the ways with the same names that are connected by nodes, taking some wild cards like roundabouts into account.   The main question is, can i get an entire street via OverpassAPI with a single query using one of it's ways osm_id or similar value? A street in this case is a series of ways with the same name connected by nodes.  Things that need to be considered are that many ways have the same name where we work, Sweden. Almost every major city has a Kungsgatan for example (Kings Street), so it's not simply a matter of getting a list of all the ways with the same name and calling it a street, they need to be connected with nodes.  Another issue is that there is to my knowledge any other reference or value that binds these ways together.   I can without a problem build function in my server that achieves this using multiple queries, but that seems not performance efficient and also i'd like to avoid making my own endpoints and changes to Overpass, if possible. Performance is also the reason i won't be making multiple calls like that from the client which will be running on a mobile device.

Can anyone tell me whether Network analyst can consider multiple cost attributes? I am looking for most ecologic route (not shortest), therefore I have assigned a value of pollution to each road segment. I have 2 layers in my analysis road and cycle layer, both have these pollution values for each segment (cycle routes have mostly lower values) and I selected this pollution attribute as a default cost attribute but would also like to consider another attribute in the best route analysis.   Can this be done or does network analyst always consider just one cost attribute?

Is it possible to link multiple leaders lines to one piece of annotation?  I'm working in ArcGIS 10.2 Desktop Advanced with non-feature linked geodatabase annotation. I have hundreds of numbers labeling various polygons, but some polygons share a number. Instead of creating multiple numbers/annotations for each polygon I'd like to have one number with multiple lines pointing to each polygon.   So, in the image below, the number 5 corresponds to multiple polygons. Here I've moved 5 from it's ideal location to show that the second leader line is not connected to the number annotation. My workaround has been to create another piece of geodatabase annotation with a blank text string to serve as a placeholder for a leader line. The other option was to use map/graphic annotation to create the second leader line, but with the multiple disadvantages of not being in the same annotation feature class as the number annotation.    My goal would be for each piece of number annotation to be connected to multiple leader lines like appears below.

I have a set of parcels as illustrated in the image below. There are currently no multi-part features in dataset. What I would like to do is to merge (not the right word) all of the parcels with same address, say 421 for example. I want to have these three polygons as one multi-part polygon, that still has the same geometry, as in it doesn't dissolve the lines.     When I have tried this thus far, the lines dissolve resulting in only the boundary being preserved.     I feel like there is a super easy was to do this, but I can't find it. I have full access to ArcGIS Advanced and use it to manage the topology of this dataset.

I'm new to GIS. I want the sum of nighttime lights (DMSP) by district for some country. I'm running this arcpy.gp.ZonalStatisticsAsTable_sa(Limites_distritales, "IDDIST", rc, temp_table, "DATA", "") and then converting to .csv. However, when I check the output some districts (identified by IDDIST) are missing. I've checked all my script and they shouldn't be dropped; my guess is that they are being assigned NoData because they overlap multiple grids (and no single grid is in the polygon) and thus no statistics are being calculated for them.  One of the problematic districts is shown in the picture below.   Is there a workaround for this?

I am trying to dissolve multiple lines for stream networks into individual features. The dataset contains many stream networks so a complete dissolve of the whole dataset wont do as I would like to only dissolve streams that are in the same network (illustrated in the pictures below).  I've tried using the Unsplit Line tool and the Dissolve tool in ArcGIS 10. The tool will only join two lines together, i.e. lines that share a common end point. This is illustrated in the screenshots below.    Here is the orignal dataset with the lines split, a single line feature is highlighted    This is the same feature highlighted after using the unsplit/dissolve tool. As you can see it has only joined two lines together rather than all of the lines that are touching.  The features in the same network do not have a common attribute either.

Using ArcMap 10.0, I am working on a map that shows many villages. Each village has a name attribute that I want to use for a label, but in some areas there are so many villages that not all can be labeled. I am using the Maplex label engine and have not checked the "Never Remove (allow overlap)" box.  I am quite happy that not all village names are displayed as this would be way too much. And it is ok that Maplex chooses which labels to display, as I have no way to know which village is more important than another one. This also means that I can't base the labeling on a field such as population or something else, even though that would be less random.  However, I would also like the village points that are not labeled to similarly not be displayed. I think it unlikely that someone would want to see the point without knowing the name of the village. If all points are shown, it is also difficult to tell which point a name label goes with in crowded areas. So instead of choosing just labels not to be shown, I also want the computer to chose features not to be shown.  To give you a better idea on what I mean:    Is there a way to make these features/points not draw if their label is not shown?

I've seen several options using bus and subway in Google Maps, but I am looking for both the fastest and the cheapest way. I am also looking for a way to do that with the least number of line or interface changes.

I'm trying to remove all the dead-end roads in a road dataset (lines) that are less than 100m long.   How do I identify roads that are dead-ends (no exit)?   The 100m part is easy.   I know how to use ArcGIS for Desktop proficiently and can use GRASS.

I have the following graph problem that I have no idea how to solve. Could you help me please? I need a proof. In a computer network there are two types of nodes: client and server. Each client is directly connected (using network cables) to at least one server and there are no direct connections between clients. Suppose that each server can route messages to other servers with which it is directly connected and the entire network is connected. In order to make the network more reliable, a scenario is considered: Every client is directly connected to at least 2 servers and every pair of servers having the distance between them 2 are connected using a direct cable. Prove that, in this new network, if a server becomes unavailable the clients can still communicate with all the remaining servers.

Is it possible to sort multiple fields at the same time in QGIS?    For example, I'd like to sort a table by state name, and then within each state, sort by county name.    This would be the same as the Advanced Sort option available in ArcMap.

Could you tell what are all the four points in following? Two circles intersect at two points maximum when we want to draw intersecting circles. But there we are solving quadratic equations, what is the argument about the other two missing points ?

Does there exist $n$, and $r&lt;2n-2$, such that the $n\times n$ square grid can be connected with an unbroken path of $r$ straight lines?   Note: This has essentially already been asked - see  MSE thread.  I am posting this question because I wanted to explicitly focus on one of the unanswered parts.  Notice that $2n-1$ is the trivial solution.  This is obtained by either spiralling towards the center, or by zig-zagging up and down.  On the  MSE thread, I posted an answer showing $2n-2$ was possible for $n\geq 3$. (this is obtained by reducing to the $3\times 3$ case)  I felt $2n-2$ should be optimal, but I couldn't think of a proof.  (Also, it is not necessarily clear that for a 100 billion by 100 billion grid you can't use some kind of cleverness to eliminate one single line)  This has been bothering me since I saw it, and I would like to know if anyone has any ideas.  Thanks,  Edit:  This is regarding an question/answer I received:  Not only are 45 degree lines allowed, but lines in any direction.  Naturally 0,45,90 seem like the best since those angles will intersect the most lattice points, and we ask ourselves "Will any optimal solution consist only of lines at these angles?".  The answer is a definite no.  Consider the  to the $10\times 10$ grid which uses 18 lines (so $2n-2$, i.e. currently optimal).  Also there is  solution to the $8\times 8 $ grid using 14 lines.  Interestingly, this solution to the $10\times 10 $ generalizes to give another $2n-2$ line solution to the $n\times n$ grid when $n$ is even.  (I found this $8\times8$ and $10\times 10$ solution on a link posted by user3123 on the  question page.  Specifically it was  link.)

I'm implementing a multi agent A* algorithm on a tile map. Agents move only in the X and Y axes. I avoid collisions between them by checking where the others are when calculating paths.  It works fine except the situation where agents have to pass the same tile from different directions. In situations like this, an optimal solution would be for one agent to wait for the other to pass:    Also, if there's no northern corridor, then pathfinding fails.  How could I implement such an algorithm?

Why does  not split at every point encountered, even if run in an iterative fashion?  Following the suggestions of a thread here and several others, I made a set of points in order to split polylines at specified intervals. In order to do this, I used linear referencing to turn my lines into routes. Then, I exported the attribute table, divided each length by 5, and set points at multiples of 1/5 the length of the line. I used this as the event table to create a layer of events. So, each line has 4 equally spaced points along it, and I thus ultimately need the 5 segments separated by those points.  Curiously, though, when I try to do the second part "Split Line at Point," it seems that only one point is used on a given line at a time, and I'm not sure how it chooses the point (maybe order in its attribute table?) I could run the tool multiple times, but this doesn't seem to solve the problem either. For example, I could see how it would continue splitting segments as more segments are generated, but on e.g. the 4th run I see that some lines are still only split 3 times, even though there is a point within a line segment that was never split and existed before I ran the tool. I'm not sure how the splits are generated, but in any case, it doesn't seem to do what I want it to do, which is produce a split at "each" point.  What should I do to split lines at ALL points along the line?

I have number of persons located on a road network and I have calculated their shortest distance to a particular location.  From the routes output created from Closest Facility can I   break the routes down into the individual arcs traversed by each person? assign each arc a count attribute indicating the number of individuals who use that arc to get to their destination?   I am using Network Analyst in ArcGIS 10.2 for Desktop.
