Subject: [gislist] Linear referencing assistance?
Date:  12/20/2005 05:20:01 PM
From:  Hargis, Amanda



Greetings,

Boulder County, Colorado (USA) is embarking on a linear referencing
endeavor for our transportation layer. We've taken some training and
read a lot of literature, but still have some questions on the basics of
getting started.

In particular, we would love to hear from you if you have any experience
and/or advice with these two issues:

1. How do we choose route lengths? Should these be long or short? As
an example potential route, we have a highway that traverses the county
from north to south, passing through two incorporated cities as well as
unincorporated county. Should each stretch be a route, or should the
entire length be one big long route?

2. How do we choose a route ID? Should this be a randomly generated
number, or a value that matches a key field in a transportation
maintenance table we have?

Thanks for any advice or information. I'll summarize responses to the
list.

-Amanda
