Creating a Transportation Database Using a Linear Referencing System(LRS) Project Overview and Methodology Raja Andela and Sujatha Mohanakrishnan Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments 1
TMACOG is.. l Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments l Northwest Ohio s MPO (Metropolitan Planning Organization) l TMACOG Transportation Department is charged with planning transportation in Lucas and Wood Counties and southern Monroe County in Michigan. l Transportation Staff 10. Only 2 people working on GIS, apart from other responsibilities. 2
We are here. 3
Why Transportation Database? l Numerous sources of data into the same platform l Ability to analyze this information. l Ability to easily integrate data provided by Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) 4
Integrated Transportation Database Related Projects Traffic Flow Map Analyze Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) projects with crash data, volume, pavement condition ratings, etc. Long Range Plan Travel Demand Model.. And various other maps 5
Database Structure Model Network Hot spot, Safety Traffic Counts TIP Projects ITD Pavement Condition Bridge Condition Functional Class Crash Information 6
Linear Referencing Linear referencing acts as a framework to support different kinds of related data Accessibility to ODOT and MDOT data Dynamic Segmentation capability to overlay and analyze 7
TMACOG Network Vs State Network l TMACOG Network Stick Network Divided highways 2 links for each direction l ODOT Network Divided highways has one route State network is up to date Local Network is obsolete Has route mileage information Point Shapefile with mileage (Control Points) 8
Conflation l Equivalency To be able to plot TMACOG links on ODOT network, We need Route ID From Log To Log 9
Conflation Methods l Spatial join l Attribute transfer mapping (for ramps) l Locate features along the routes (for Michigan) l Manual conflation 10
Spatial Join ODOT Control points CLUCCR00022**C M= 2.1 COG_ID= EL-0423 CLUCCR00022**C M= 3.09 11
Result of Spatial Join (Ohio) 25% join 12
Attribute Transfer Tool l There is one to one relationship between TMACOG network ramp and ODOT ramps l Attribute transfer mapping 13
Manual Conflation Using Digitize Events Tool http://edndoc.esri.com/arcobjects/9.0/default.asp?url=/arcobjects/9.0/samples/linear_referencing/editing/digitize_events/digitizeevents.htm 14
Locate route events Example One CLUCCR00008**C 3.86 Buffer of 100 feet EL-0712 3.1 15
Locate route events Example Two CLUCCR00008**C Buffer of 100 feet 3.86 EL-0712 3.5 16
Result of Locate Route Events (Michigan) 17
