Wide Array of Transportation

Needs
• The transportation model is not just one data
model
–Highway management/road inventory model
• Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS)
• Road inventory
• Pavement management
• Crash locations

Interoperability Among Models

• One of the biggest challenges of transportation

modeling is support for data sharing
–Interdepartmental data sharing
• Maintaining data centrally

• Publishing to multiple agencies

–Sharing from state to local or local to state

• Transportation safety (e.g. crash reporting)

• Highway

Interoperability Among Models

• Geoprocessing Models can be used to

transform data from one agency schema to
another

Model is Based on Linear

Referencing
–Only minimum required attributes are stored at
geometry level
–Most attributes are stored as linear events
• Pavement type
• Road condition
• Speed limit
• Number of lanes
–Characteristics stored as events can be published as
attributes (denormalization
(denormalization)) when needed

Linear Referencing

 7/1/2010

LRS

• Linear Referencing System

– procedures and methods, for specifying a location as a

distance, or offset along a linear feature, from a point with
known location

10

LRM

• Linear Referencing Method

–Part
P t off an LRS
• Different methods of
measuring g location
–Segment Code with
equation offsets
–Highway
Hi h number

marker reference
–GPS location

Measures

• Distances along a linear feature

• Measures start at route origin

x,y,m
,y,
xym
x,y,m

x,y,m x,y,m
x,y,m x,y,m

• Can be miles, meters, feet, time and don’t have to match x,y units

• Can increase, decrease or be NaN (not measured)

Events

• Point route locations

• Describe a discrete location

along a route
Line
Events

• Line route locations

• Describe a portion of a route
