“Update for all, commanders are LOVING the Dashboard. No paper maps in here :)”
Here is a screenshot of a Dashboard showing “Rovers” (Rovers are the Edmonton Police supporting the game)

Pasadena Fire
- ‘Chief Officer Operations Dashboard’ is now up and running!
- This will be the first time officers can view this information in real-time.
Dashboard showing “unit LKL” – Engines, bike teams, EMS, Rescue Ambulances and sedans.

What is Location Tracking
• New Organizational Capability - Administrators can enable location tracking in their organization - Will create a single service for storing and managing location
tracks in the big data store
• Track Viewer Web app - Display and manage users and their location history - See only the users that you have access to
(Feature Service views, OBAC)
• Tracker Mobile app (iOS, Android) - Mobile users control sharing of their location - Simple, schedule-driven tracking experience - Supports offline use - Optimized for low battery consumption
Tracker Mobile App
• Mobile user in control - Turns on/off tracking - Set reminders to start/stop
• Collect Tracks - Tracks are collected using movement
with mobile Core Motion and Fitness APIs • Tracks are uploaded every
- 10 mins or - 60 secs if device is being charged and battery is > 20%
• Supports offline use - Tracks stored locally if connectivity is lost
• Licensing - Premium app that works with Viewer + user type - Included with Field Worker user type
Tracker Mobile App
• View Tracks - View tracks as a line with direction - Tap on tracks to see details - View up to last 72 hours
• Tracker app is only writer of tracks • Tracks are shared locally with other Esri apps
- Support offline viewing of tracks
Tracker App
2. Supervisors - Use app to visualize and interrogate
track views
Track Viewer Web App – Creating Track Views
• Track Views - Can create multiple Track Views - New Group with Track Name - Feature Service View shared in group - Must be an Administrator
• Mobile Users - Users being tracked - Must have the Tracker add-on license
• Track Viewers - Users that view tracks - Must have the Track View privilege
Track Viewer Web App – Using Track Views
• Supervisors can open the Track View to display the tracks of users - Default displays the last 8 hrs - Tap on tracks to view details - Highlight individual user tracks
• Options that filter track data - Timespan - Accuracy
• Options that highlight track data - User list - Speed - Activity
Track Viewer web app Demo
New Organizational Capability
• Administrators enable location tracking - Creates a folder called Location Tracking - Creates a single service with 2 layers for
storing and managing location tracks - Exposes a new View Tracks privilege for
track viewers
• Tracks have a retention period - Default 30 days
• Admin can pause/disable tracking • Admin can view how many members can
view tracks
Tracker App
Track Viewer
• Location Tracking Feature Service - LKL feature layer - Tracks feature layer
• LKL Layer - Stores last known location for each user - Useful for Situational Awareness use cases
• Tracks feature layer - Stores all tracks for each user - Useful for Analysis use cases
• Rich set of attributes - Location timestamp, altitude, course, speed,
accuracy, device information (battery state), more…
Track Viewer web app Demo
• Convert Track Points to Lines • Aggregate Points into Polygons • Creating 3D scenes • Creating Linear Heatmaps • Animating Tracks • Incident Detection
Tracker Analysis
Track Analysis - Convert Track Points into Lines
• Use GeoAnalytics Server to build lines from points to show direction • Track lines can be built based on the geometry, username, and timestamp
Track Analysis - Aggregate Points Into Polygons
• Use GeoAnalytics Server to aggregate points into equal area polygons to determine coverage over an area
• Summarize different attributes such as accuracy
Track Analysis - Creating 3D Scenes based on attributes
• Use ArcGIS Pro to create extruded features at each point based on various attributes • Convert 2D track points and lines into 3D geometries for further analysis (line of sight,
elevation gain/loss, etc).
The height of each bar represents speed, color where over/under the speed limit.
Track Analysis - Creating Linear Heatmap
• Use ArcGIS Pro with advanced symbology to create linear heat maps that highlight track density
Track Analysis - Animate the tracks
• Use ArcGIS Pro or configurable web app templates to animate track points over time so that you can replay motion
Esri ArcGIS Pro 2.2.0.12776
• Determine locations where user is exceeding speed limits. • Identify incidents where fast acceleration or braking occurs.
Exceeding speed limits Points of fast acceleration/braking
Location Tracking Release Plan
• ArcGIS Enterprise 10.7 release in Q1 2019 - Mobile app for iOS and Android platforms
• ArcGIS Online release in Q2 2019 - Mobile app updates for iOS and Android platforms
Opportunities to use Tracker prior to release: - Early Adopter Program available now - Contact tracker4arcgis@esri.com for general inquires
