ESRI supports the integration of dynamic data across the full family of ArcGIS. Dynamic data can be both visualized and used for spatial analysis in combination with other GIS layers. ArcGIS supports reading dynamic information from standard Web services such as GeoRSS, mobile GPS tracks and specialized applications like Tracking Server.
Tracking Server is a solution software product offered by ESRI’s professional services team and is designed to support centralized monitoring and distribution of large volumes of rapidly changing information such as moving objects (cars, trucks, boats, airplanes, etc.) as well as static positions whose values change over time (wind observations, stream gauges, atmospheric monitors, etc.).
Over time we will add more tracking capabilities to integrate with the ever growing collection of inputs coming from the ‘sensor Web,’ and we expect to continue adding capabilities to easily monitor, manage, and map dynamic information for GIS analysis.
