The November 2025 update includes quality improvements, enhancements, and new functionality throughout ArcGIS Velocity. Highlights are provided below. For details, refer to the What's new in ArcGIS Velocity ArcGIS Blog article.
General
General improvements include the following:
- Numerous accessibility enhancements across Velocity have been made.
- Updates to back-end libraries and dependencies have been made.
- When creating a title for a real-time or big data analytic, you can use underscores and parentheses. International characters are also supported.
- Support has been added for dynamic rendering aggregations, including H3 hexagonal grids and geotiles.
Feeds, sources, and outputs
The following are the enhancements to feeds, outputs, and sources of Velocity:
- The following are the new feeds supported by Velocity:
- The DTN Weather feed in Velocity connects to DTN's real-time and forecast feature layer services to provide hyperlocal weather data. This feed delivers current weather conditions, forecasts, severe weather alerts, radar, and lightning information to support proactive decision-making.
- The Motive Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) feed type connects to Motive to receive location data for vehicles and assets, allowing you to monitor their status in real time.
- The TAK Client (Beta) feed in Velocity connects to a TAK (Team Awareness Kit) Server to receive Cursor on Target (CoT) events. CoT is a messaging protocol used to share real-time information about location of targets, points of interest, and other critical markers.
- The TracPlus feed in Velocity connects to the TracPlus Cloud to get real-time firefighting telemetry data.
- If the HTTP Poller feed, HTTP Poller source, or HTTP Output fails to connect, you can expand the Additional Details section in the error message to view raw request and response data, which is useful for determining the cause of the failure.
- The HTTP Output supports the application/x-www-form-urlencoded content type for POST requests. Previously, only formats, such as Plain Text, JSON, CSV, and XML were supported.
- The Additional Logging parameter has been added to HTTP Poller source. You can turn on this parameter for troubleshooting purposes.
- For the Feature Layer (existing) output, you can write analytic output to an existing ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Server feature layer even if the TRACK_ID and START_TIME tags in the incoming data schema do not match those in the destination layer.
Analytic tools
The following are the new tools supported by Velocity:
- The Multi-Merge tool combines up to 10 input pipelines into a single schema. All input pipelines must have the same feature geometry type (point, line, polygon, or tabular) and include at least one field with an identical name and data type. The Multi-Merge tool expands on the capabilities of the Merge tool.
- The Route by Expressions tool routes a record to one of the several destinations or outputs based on specified conditions. This tool evaluates a record using sequential ArcGIS Arcade expressions to a record similar to the if-else statement in a programming language.
