# Name: SplitLine_Example2.py
# Description: Split a bus line feature at its vertices (bus stops)
# and find a midpoint of each new line for further analysis.
# import system modules
import arcpy
# Set environment settings
arcpy.env.workspace = "C:/data"
# Set local variables
inFeatures = "buslines.shp"
outFeatureClass = "c:/output/output.gdb/buslines_segments"
midPtsFeatureClass = "c:/output/output.gdb/buslines_segments_midPts"
# Run SplitLine to get new lines, each of which is between two bus stops
arcpy.management.SplitLine(inFeatures, outFeatureClass)
# Run FeatureVerticesToPoints to find a midpoint for every new line
arcpy.management.FeatureVerticesToPoints(outFeatureClass,
midPtsFeatureClass, "MID")
# Comments: You can add attribute information, such as driving time,
# to the midpoint feature class and display the attributes
# as an alternative label for each line between two bus stops.
