Hi ALL, We serve traffic lines that gets updated every 5 minutes from our feeds. We would like to use Map Server to generate transparent tiles showing colored polylines of the traffic.
I am newbie to Map Server, I got the server and workshop running and also I think I have some good understanding of the map file and layers concept. I have a question about integrating our traffic information as a data source to the MapServer. Important aspects for us: 1. Performance: since we are updating large areas every 5 minutes. We will need throughput like 10K images per second. Does this sound okay? 2. Threads safety: my concern what happens if while updating the source, the MapServer is actually rendering an image from old data. Any locks? I understand our options are: 1. Data files: such as shape files or KML files. 2. Database: PostGIS for example. 3. Service that pulls data: WMS server - I didn't dig much here. Thanks in advance for your help, some pointers or information to go further. Best regards, Ahmed
