Working with Routes and Linear Referencing in ArcGIS
This presentation discusses the concepts of Linear Referencing and Routes, how to create them, and how to use them for analysis.
Using Utah's Linear Referencing GIS Layer: SGID93.Transportation.UDOTRoutes_LRS
Slides from UGIC 2011 conference in Logan (April 2011).
First half of slides (Bert Granberg AGRC) discuss what, why and how of the LRS dataset created by AGRC and UDOT to represent state and federal routes in Utah in a polylineM format.
Second half (Thomas McMurtry, Interplan) shows use cases where tabular data on traffic volume, accidents, projects, etc was linked to the GIS representation of the LRS for map display and query
GEOcoding and Dynamic segmentation
This document discusses geocoding and dynamic segmentation. It defines geocoding as assigning spatial locations to non-spatial data through techniques like address matching. Dynamic segmentation is computing locations of events along linear features. The document outlines different GIS feature types and their uses. It then describes the geocoding process, types of geocoding, and applications. Dynamic segmentation is defined as relating data to linear features through measurement systems. Routes, events, and the dynamic segmentation process are explained. Applications include data management, display, query, and analysis along linear networks.
Linear referencing 2014
1. The document discusses linear referencing in ArcGIS, which allows locations to be stored by measures along linear features rather than x,y coordinates.
2. Key components of linear referencing in ArcGIS include routes, which are linear features with unique identifiers and measures, and event tables, which store non-spatial data related to routes.
3. Dynamic segmentation allows attributes from event tables to be displayed on routes by computing the map location of events using the routes' measurement systems, without needing to split route geometries. This provides efficient data management.
Trajectory Specification For High-Capacity Air Traffic Control
The document summarizes a proposal for specifying aircraft trajectories in 4 dimensions (latitude, longitude, altitude, time) to enable increased air traffic capacity through automated separation assurance. It describes representing trajectories as tubes defined by straight and turning path segments, with error tolerances defining bounding spaces. XML is proposed for specifying trajectories in a flexible, readable format. The goal is to establish standards to facilitate coordination and increase airspace usage as travel demand grows substantially in coming decades.
Webinar1 darpa07
