Resumen

Generates a JSON string that is stored in the OBSTACLEJSON field on the input Obstruction Identification Surface (OIS) multipatch feature class. This class contains the data necessary to depict obstacles to flight safetywithin the approach surfaces (in the form of points, lines, or polygons) in the Terrain and Obstacle Profile layout element.

For each runway feature, the tool identifies each approach surface associated with that runway. For each approach surface, the tool uses the underlying elevation models and input obstacle features to determine the highest elevations and heights of those obstacle features that intersect the approach surfaces extent. The resulting 3D points, representing the highest-point cross section of each affected obstacle, are created and stored in JSON format and saved in the corresponding approach OIS feature.

Uso

• The following table lists the values that are populated in the OBSTACLEJSON output message. They are given per input obstacle feature if they planimetrically intersect an input approach surface multipatch feature.

  Field	Example	Populated with
  Type_Code	"Type_Code": "Stack"	The Type_Code field of the Input Obstacle Features parameter value. It is the coded domain value description or Unknown if no domain value is found or if the input is null.
  HACCM	"HACCM": 0.304801	The HORIZACC_VAL field of the Input Obstacle Features parameter value, converted to meters. It is -1.0 if the input is null.
  VACCM	"VACCM": 0.304801	The VERTACC_VAL field of the Input Obstacle Features parameter value, converted to meters. It is -1.0 if the input is null.
  Height	"Height": 16.664848	The Input Obstacle Height parameter value (feature geometry or input field), converted to meters.
  GNDElev	"GNDElev": 335.647491	The ground elevation at the input obstacle's location from the Elevation Source parameter value—a digital elevation model (DEM) or input field—converted to meters.
  NormalDist	"NormalDist": 946.035675	The distance, in meters, between the obstacle and the nearest point on the runway centerline.
  Offset	"Offset": 143.128218	The distance, in meters, between the obstacle and the nearest point on the extended runway centerline.
  X	"X": -95.953753	The x-coordinate of the obstacle in WGS84 decimal degrees.
  Y	"Y": 45.550517	The y-coordinate of the obstacle in WGS84 decimal degrees.
  ZVMC	"ZVMC": 352.31234	The elevation of the top of the obstacle (Height + GNDElev) in meters.
  OIS	"OIS": 384.942139	The z-value of the OIS at the obstacle's location.
  Penetrates	"Penetrates": false	A value of true if ZVMC is greater than or equal to OIS; otherwise, false.
  Label	"Label": "362"	The value of the Obstacle Labels input parameter.
  Shadowing	"Shadowed": false	A value of false for shadowing obstacles and a value of true for an obstacle that is shadowed by another.

• The Input Runway Features parameter must be z-enabled and have projected horizontal and vertical coordinate systems defined. It must include a populated Runway Designator text field, which must be named as one of the following from the ArcGIS Aviation data models:

  • RWYDESG
  • RUNWAYDESIGNATORIDENTIFIER
  • DESIGNATOR_TXT

  Sugerencia:

  Recommended input features are RunwayCenterline from the Airports data models (18B or 18C) or ADHPSurfaceLine from the AIS data model. For more information, see the respective schemas for attribute properties.

• The Input Obstacle Features parameter value must be z-enabled and have projected horizontal and vertical coordinate systems defined.

  Sugerencia:

  Recommended input features are VerticalStructurePoint, VerticalStructureLine, and VerticalStructurePolygon from the Airports 18B or 18C data models. For more information, review the respective schemas for the attribute properties.

• Include a field for the Input Obstacle Features parameter value that represents the type of obstacle that is used by the tool to populate the "Type_Code" values in the OBSTACLEJSON field results. Null values in this field will be written as Unknown in the output. Permissible field names are the following:

  • TYPE_CODE
  • OBSTACLETY
  • OBSTACLETYPECODE
  • ObsType
  • OBJECTTYPECODE
  • OBJECTTYPE

• The Input Obstacle Features parameter can include the fields listed below. If present, the values of these fields will contribute to the HACCM and VACCM fields in the output OBSTACLEJSON values:

  • HORIZACC_VAL
  • HORIZACC_UOM
  • VERTACC_VAL
  • VERTACC_UOM

• The Target OIS Features parameter value must be a multipatch feature class with defined projected horizontal and vertical coordinate systems. It must contain approach features and include the following fields:

  • RWYDESG, LANDINGSTRIPDESIGIDENTIFIER, or DESIGNATOR_TXT (populated with a runway designator, for example, '09/27')
  • NAME (populated with the value 'Approach Surface')
  • OBSTACLEJSON (populated by the tool)

    Sugerencia:

    Recommended input features are ObstructionIdSurface_MP from the Airports 18B or 18C data models. The approach features can be generated with one of the tools from the Obstruction Identification Surfaces toolset.

    Nota:

    The field length must be at least 50,000 characters. A warning appears if the JSON output exceeds the length of the OBSTACLEJSON field.

• The Input Obstacle Feature parameter value elevations are specified by the Obstacle Feature Height Type parameter. Use the Absolute Height (ABSOLUTE_HEIGHT in Python) option if the input data includes feature geometry or a numeric attribute field with the elevation value of the top of the obstacle above mean sea level. Use the Relative Height (RELATIVE_HEIGHT in Python) option if feature geometry or a numeric attribute field contains the value of the obstacle height above ground level.

  

• This tool requires base elevation data to function correctly. That data can come from one or more underlying DEMs or from a numeric attribute field in the input obstacle feature class. One or the other must be provided, with the appropriate option specified using the Elevation Source parameter.

• The tool will use a flight path ID field (PATHID, text, Nullable, or 255) for the Target OIS Features parameter to associate curved approach polylines with specific approach surfaces. This is required if you have an Input Flight Path Features parameter value. Use this value for the Target OIS Features parameter with the OBJECTID field of the corresponding Input Flight Path Features parameter value. This will be populated by the Create Curved Approach tool when creating the curved approach surface or surfaces.

• If the tool is run repeatedly with different Input Obstacle Features parameter values, it will append the generated JSON data for each set of obstacles to each affected approach surface feature. Subsequently running the tool with an updated version of Input Obstacle Features values will selectively update the JSON data for those features without affecting the JSON data generated using other Input Obstacle Features values.

• You can exclude obstacles in the tool output that are shadowed by other obstacles. The following diagram shows how the Horizontal Distance and Slope parameters are used to generate these output features:

  

  In this diagram, a value of 300 meters is used for the Horizontal Distance parameter value. For obstacles that are 300 meters or less from the end of the runway, the angle of the shadow will be considered horizontal. A slope of 1.2 is used for the Slope parameter value. For obstacles more than 300 meters from the end of the runway, the shadow will be cast at an object behind the obstacle at a slope of 1.2 percent.

  Nota:

  Output of shadowing obstacles is only supported with point obstacles.
