During route reassignment, events are impacted in the edit activity areas, and upstream and downstream of the reassignment, depending on the configured event behavior for the event layer.
Note:
Events are not updated until the Apply Event Behaviors tool is applied after route edits. If you are using conflict prevention, you are prompted to run Apply Event Behaviors before posting can be completed.
Note:
When Recalibrate route downstream is chosen for an LRS route edit, the configured calibrate event behavior is applied to downstream sections.
Running the Apply Event Behaviors tool on event features after a corresponding route edit is described below.
Route reassignment scenario
This route reassignment scenario involves two routes. A portion of Route1 is reassigned to Route2.
Stay Put behavior
Although the geographic location of the event outside the reassign region is maintained, the measures can change. The event can also split if it crosses the reassign region. Portions in the reassign region are removed.
Move behavior
Although the measures of the event are maintained, the geographic location can change.
Retire behavior
Events intersecting the reassignment region are retired.
Snap behavior
Although the geographic location of the event is maintained by snapping to the route that it was reassigned to, the measures can change. The event can also split if it crosses the reassign region.
Cover behavior
Although the measures of the event are maintained, the geographic location can change.
Upstream and downstream sections
Route editing impacts upstream and downstream sections differently.
The following image shows the upstream and downstream section for the route reassignment scenario:
The following table details how the reassignment editing activity impacts upstream and downstream events according to the configured event behavior:
| Behavior | Events upstream reassignment | Events intersecting reassignment | Events downstream reassignment |
|---|---|---|---|
Stay Put | No action | Retire event. Line events crossing the edit section are split and the original event is retired. | If route calibration is changed, the recalibrate event behavior is applied; otherwise, no action is taken. |
Move | Shape regenerated, if needed, to new location of route measures | Shape regenerated to the new location of route measures. | If route calibration is changed, the recalibrate event behavior is applied; otherwise, no action is taken. |
Retire | No action | Retire event. Line events crossing the reassignment region do not split. | If route calibration is changed, the recalibrate event behavior is applied; otherwise, no action is taken. |
Snap | No action | Geographic location (x,y) is maintained. The event is migrated to the reassigned route. Line events crossing the edit section are split. | If route calibration is changed, the recalibrate event behavior is applied; otherwise, no action is taken. |
Note:
- Point events follow the same behavior as line events but don't need to be split.
- If the Recalibrate route downstream option is chosen, calibrate route event behaviors are applied to the events downstream of the edited portion of the route.
- The network can contain events that span multiple routes in a line network; the behaviors are still applied in the same manner.
- Since the LRS is time aware, edit activities—such as reassigning a route—time slice routes and events.
Detailed behavior results
The following sections detail how event behavior rules are enforced when a route is reassigned.
Stay Put event behavior
If the reassignment is set to occur on 1/1/2005 with target values of 0 to 5 and Recalibrate route downstream is chosen, this has the following effects:
- Event1 is represented by two time slices. There is a time slice from 1/1/2000 to 1/1/2005, with the original measures from 0 to 7, and a time slice from 1/1/2005 to <Null>, with measures from 0 to 5 that stay in the same location geographically but have the new measures from Route1.
- Event2 retires to maintain geographic location.

Event2 | Route1 | 1/1/2000 | 1/1/2005 | 7 | 10 | No Error |
Move event behavior
If the reassignment is set to occur on 1/1/2005 with target values of 0 to 5 and Recalibrate route downstream is chosen, this has the following effects:
- Event1 is represented by two time slices. There is a time slice from 1/1/2000 to 1/1/2005 with the original measures from 0 to 7, and a time slice from 1/1/2005 to <Null> with measures from 0 to 7 that move geographically to maintain the original event measures. This new time slice only partially locates since the event time slice has measures from 0 to 7, but the underlying route only has measures from 0 to 5. The event has the same measures but different geometry in the new time slice.
- Event2 is represented by two time slices. There is a time slice from 1/1/2000 to 1/1/2005 with the original measures from 7 to 10, and a time slice from 1/1/2005 to <Null> with measures from 7 to 10 that move geographically to maintain the original event measures. This new time slice does not locate since the event time slice has measures from 7 to 10, but the underlying route only has measures from 0 to 5. The event has the same measures but different geometry in the new time slice.

Snap event behavior
If the reassignment is set to occur on 1/1/2005 with target values of 0 to 5 and Recalibrate route downstream is chosen, this has the following effects:
- Event1 is represented by two time slices. There is a time slice from 1/1/2000 to 1/1/2005 with the original measures from 0 to 7, and a time slice from 1/1/2005 to <Null> with two event records. The first Event1 event record after reassignment has measures from 0 to 5 that snap to the new measures from Route1, and the second event record has measures from 0 to 2 that snap to the new measures of Route2.
- Event2 is represented by two time slices. There is a time slice from 1/1/2000 to 1/1/2005 with the original measures from 7 to 10, and a time slice from 1/1/2005 to <Null> with measures from 2 to 5 that snap to the new measures of Route2.

Detailed behavior results on routes in a line network with events that span routes
The following sections detail how event behavior rules are enforced when routes on a line in a line network are reassigned.
Stay Put behavior
The routes are active from 1/1/2000, and if the reassignment is set to occur on 1/1/2005 from measure 25 on Route3 to 48 on Route4 and Recalibrate route downstream is not chosen, this has the following effects:
- Reassignment is used for merging Route3 and Route4 to create a new route, Route3A.
- Event1 is represented by two time slices. There is a time slice from 1/1/2000 to 1/1/2005 with the original measures from 0 on Route1 to 30 on Route3, and a time slice from 1/1/2005 to <Null> with measures from 0 on Route1 to 22 on Route2, as it stays the same geographically. The portion of the event on Route3 is retired since there is no Route3 to build the event shape on any longer.
- Event2 retires, as the event is completely within the reassigned portion. There is no longer a Route3 or Route4 on which to build the event shape.

The following table provides details about the events before reassignment:
| Event ID | From Date | To Date | From Route ID | To Route ID | From Measure | To Measure |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Event1 | 1/1/2000 | <Null> | Route1 | Route3 | 0 | 30 |
Event2 | 1/1/2000 | <Null> | Route3 | Route4 | 30 | 48 |

Event2 | 1/1/2000 | 1/1/2005 | Route3 | Route4 | 30 | 48 | Route Not Found |
Move behavior
The routes are active from 1/1/2000, and if the reassignment is set to occur on 1/1/2005 from measure 25 on Route3 to 48 on Route4 and Recalibrate route downstream is unchecked, this has the following effects:
- Event1 is represented by two time slices. There is a time slice from 1/1/2000 to 1/1/2005 with the original measures from 0 on Route1 to 30 on Route3, and a time slice from 1/1/2005 to <Null> with measures from 0 on Route1 to 30 on Route3, but since Route3 has been reassigned, the shape can’t be built in that location. In the new time slice, the event has the same measures but different geometry.
- Event2 is represented by two time slices. There is a time slice from 1/1/2000 to 1/1/2005 with the original measures from 30 on Route3 to 48 on Route4. The second time slice, from 1/1/2005 to <Null>, has measures from 30 on Route3 to 48 on Route4, but Route3 and Route4 have been reassigned, so there is no shape for this event.

Event2 | 1/1/2005 | <Null> | Route3 | Route4 | 30 | 48 | Route Not Found |
Note:
Event2 exists after the Apply Event Behavior tool is run but has no shape.
Retire behavior
The routes are active from 1/1/2000, and if the reassignment is set to occur on 1/1/2005 from measure 25 on Route3 to 48 on Route4 and Recalibrate route downstream is not chosen, this has the following effects:
- Event1 retires since it is located in the reassigned region.
- Event2 retires since it is located in the reassigned region.

Snap event behavior
The routes are active from 1/1/2000, and if the reassignment is set to occur on 1/1/2005 from measure 25 on Route3 to 48 on Route4 and Recalibrate route downstream is unchecked, this has the following effects:
- Event1 is represented by two time slices. There is a time slice from 1/1/2000 to 1/1/2005 with the original measures from 0 on Route1 to 30 on Route3, and a second time slice from 1/1/2005 to <Null> with two event records. Because the reassignment took place in the middle of the event, it splits. The first Event1 record after reassignment has measures from 0 on Route1 to 22 on Route2, while the second Event1 record has measures from 25 on Route3A to 30 on Route3A. Both events stay in the same location geographically, but the second event snaps to the new route at the location, Route3A.
- Event2 is represented by two time slices. There is a time slice from 1/1/2000 to 1/1/2005 with the original measures from 30 on Route3 to 48 on Route4, and a time slice from 1/1/2005 to <Null> with measures from 30 on Route3A to 48 on Route3A. The event stays in the same location geographically, but snaps to the new route at the location, Route3A.
