Event behavior for route retirement

Available with Location Referencing license.

When routes are retired, events are impacted depending on the configured event behavior for each event layer.

Note:

Events are not updated until the Apply Event Behaviors geoprocessing tool is applied after route edits. If you are using conflict prevention, you are prompted to run Apply Event Behaviors, which must be done before posting can be completed.

The following sections detail the results of executing this tool on event features.

Route retirement scenario

This retirement scenario involves one route and three events. The retirement (depicted with a dashed line) starts in Event1, completely spans Event2 and ends in Event3.

Before Retirement

Stay Put behavior

The geographic location of the event outside of the retire region is preserved; the measures may change. The event may also split if it crosses the retire region. Portions of the reassign region are retired.

Stay Put behavior

Move behavior

The measures and route of the event are maintained; the geographic location may change.

Move behavior

Retire behavior

The geographic location and measure of the event are preserved; the event is retired. Events intersecting the retire region are retired.

Retire behavior

Upstream and downstream sections

Route editing impacts upstream and downstream sections differently. Use the following diagram and table to understand this impact for the configured event behavior.

The following diagram shows the upstream and downstream sections for the route retirement scenario.

Upstream and downstream

The following table details how the retirement editing activity impacts upstream and downstream events according to the configured event behavior.

Behavior Events upstream Events intersecting Events downstream

Stay Put

No action.

Retire event; line events crossing the edit region are split and the original event retired.

If route calibration is changed, the recalibrate event behavior is applied; otherwise, no action.

Move

Shape regenerated, if needed, to new location of route measures.

Shape regenerated to new location of route measures.

If route calibration is changed, the recalibrate event behavior is applied; otherwise, no action.

Retire

No action.

Retire event; line events crossing edit region are not split.

If route calibration is changed, the recalibrate event behavior is applied; otherwise, no action.

Note:
  • Point events follow the same behavior as linear events but don't need to be split.
  • If the option to recalibrate route downstream is chosen, the events downstream of the edited portion of the route will have calibrate route event behaviors applied.
  • The network may contain events that span multiple routes in a line network. In that case, the behaviors are still applied in the same manner.
  • Since the LRS is time aware, edit activities such as retiring a route will time slice routes and events.

Detailed behavior results

The following sections detail how event behavior rules are enforced when a route is retired.

Stay Put behavior

The route is active from 1/1/2000 and if the retirement is set to occur on 1/1/2005 and Recalibrate route downstream is not chosen, this will have the following effects:

  • Event1 will be represented by two time slices. There will be a time slice as of 1/1/2000 to 1/1/2005, with the original measures of 0 to 20, and a time slice as of 1/1/2005 to <null> with measures of 0 to 15 that will stay in the same location geographically.
  • Event2 will retire to maintain geographic location.
  • Event3 will be represented by two time slices in the same way as Event1. There will be a time slice as of 1/1/2000 to 1/1/2005, with the original measures of 30 to 45, and a time slice as of 1/1/2005 to <null> with measures of 35 to 45 that will stay in the same location geographically.

Move behavior

The route is active from 1/1/2000, and if the retirement is set to occur on 1/1/2005 and Recalibrate route downstream is not chosen, this will have the following effects:

  • Event1 will be represented by two time slices. There will be a time slice as of 1/1/2000 to 1/1/2005 and a time slice as of 1/1/2005 to <null>, both with the original measures 0 to 20. This new time slice will only partially locate since the event time slice has measures of 0 to 20, but the underlying route time slice only has measures of 0 to 15 and 35 to 55 with a physical gap created due to retirement.
  • Event2 will be represented by two time slices. There will be a time slice as of 1/1/2000 to 1/1/2005 and a time slice as of 1/1/2005 to <null>, both with the measures of 20 to 30. This new time slice will not locate since the event time slice has measures of 20 to 30, but the underlying route time slice does not have route with those measures.
  • Event3 will be represented by two time slices. There will be a time slice as of 1/1/2000 to 1/1/2005 and a time slice as of 1/1/2005 to <null>, both with the original measures 30 to 45. This new time slice will only partially locate since the event time slice has measures of 30 to 45, but the underlying route time slice only has measures of 0 to 15 and 35 to 55, with a physical gap created due to retirement.

Detailed behavior on routes in a line network with events that span routes

Stay Put behavior

This retirement scenario involves four routes on a line in a line network and two events. Route3 will be retired. The retired route (depicted with a dotted line) impacts both Event1 and Event2.

The routes are active from 1/1/2000, and if the retirement is set to occur on 1/1/2005 and Recalibrate route downstream is unchecked, this will have the following effects:

  • Event1 will be represented by two time slices. There will be a time slice from 1/1/2000 to 1/1/2005, with the original measures of 0 to 30 on Route1 and Route3, and a time slice from 1/1/2005 to <null>, with measures of 0 on Route1 to 22 on Route2 as it stays in the same location geographically. The portion of the event on Route3 will be retired since there is no route to build that part of the event shape on any longer.
  • Event2 will be represented by two time slices. There will be a time slice from 1/1/2000 to 1/1/2005, with the original measures of 30 on Route3 to 48 on Route4, and a time slice from 1/1/2005 to <null>, with measures of 38 on Route4 to 48 on Route4 as it stays in the same location geographically. The portion of the event on Route3 will be retired since there is no route to build that part of the event shape on any longer.

This new time slice will only partially locate since the event time slice has measures of 0 to 30 on Route1 to Route3, but Route3 has been retired, so there is no route in that location to build a shape.
  • Event2 will be represented by two time slices. There will be a time slice from 1/1/2000 to 1/1/2005 and a time slice from 1/1/2005 to <null>, both with the measures of 30 on Route3 to 48 of Route4. This new time slice will not locate since the event time slice has measures of 30 to 48 on Route3 to Route4, but Route3 has been retired, so there is no route in that location to build a shape.
