Aggregate Obstacles (Aviation)

Mit der Aviation Charting-Lizenz verfügbar.

Zusammenfassung

Aggregates point obstacle features within a given radius so that the highest obstacle in the group represents the entire group.

This tool groups cartographic representations of obstacle data on dense or crowded charts. Instead of being displayed individually, obstacle data will be represented as groups of obstacles based on the location of the highest obstacle in each group.

Verwendung

• The tool uses the geometry and attribution of the obstacle at the highest Above Mean Sea Level (AMSL) elevation to represent all obstacles within a search radius of that obstacle.

• Obstacles are considered for grouping if they are as tall or taller (height above ground level) than the provided height threshold (or the built-up area height threshold if inside a built-up area polygon).

• For the Obstacle Features parameter value, you can use the Obstacle or the ObstaclePoint feature class in the AIS model.

• Use the Obstacle Grouping Type parameter to output to a point feature class or to a polygon feature class. Either grouping type will represent all input obstacle features in the output features.

  If the parameter is set to To point, each obstacle group feature will represent one or more obstacles from the input obstacle features.

  If the parameter is set to To polygon, generalized polygons will be created to encompass the extent of two or more input obstacle features.

  If a potential output polygon is smaller than the input Minimum Polygon Area parameter value, a point obstacle group feature will be output instead.

• Use the AIS feature class, ObstacleGroup, for the Target Obstacle Group Features parameter. The following fields are populated by the tool:

  • ClientKey_Id—The GFID value of the highest obstacle in the group.
  • Height1_Val—The above ground height of the highest obstacle in the group.
  • Elevation_Val—The elevation of the highest obstacle in the group, calculated according to the Elevation Interpretation parameter value.
  • SearchRadius_Val—The Search Radius parameter value.
  • Label_Txt—The Target Obstacle Group Label parameter value.
  • Group_Code—Set to Yes if the group is composed of more than one obstacle; otherwise, set to No.
  • Count_Val—The number of features in Obstacle Features parameter value.

• Use the AIS feature class, ObstacleGroupArea, for the Target Obstacle Polygon Group Features parameter. The following fields are populated by the tool:

  • ClientKey_Id—The GFID value of the highest obstacle in the group.
  • Height1_Val—The above ground height of the highest obstacle in the group.
  • Elevation_Val—The elevation of the highest obstacle in the group, calculated according to the Elevation Interpretation parameter value.
  • SearchRadius_Val—The Search Radius parameter value.
  • Label_Txt—The Target Obstacle Group Label parameter value.

• The AIS table, ObstacleAssociation, will be populated by the tool to link input obstacle features with their ObstacleGroup or ObstacleGroupArea features.

  Hinweis:

  The Built-Up Areas polygon feature class is not included in the AIS charting data model.
