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 tool is run after route edits. If you are using conflict prevention on branch versioned data, you are prompted to run Apply Event Behaviors before posting to the default version.
Note:
When Recalibrate route downstream is chosen for an LRS route edit, the configured calibrate event behavior is applied to downstream sections. You can review configured event behaviors by viewing LRS event properties.
The route retirement and corresponding event behaviors are described below.
Route retirement scenario
A route can be retired at the beginning, in the middle, or at the end of the route. If the retirement takes place in the middle of the route, the resulting route is a gapped route. For line network, you can fully or partially retire multiple adjoining routes that belong to the same line.
Upstream and downstream sections
Route editing impacts upstream and downstream sections differently.
The following image shows the upstream and downstream sections for the route retirement scenario:
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 is retired. | If route calibration is changed, the calibrate event behavior is applied; otherwise, no action is taken. |
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 calibrate event behavior is applied; otherwise, no action is taken. |
Retire | No action. | Retire event; line events crossing the edit region are not split. | If route calibration is changed, the calibrate event behavior is applied; otherwise, no action is taken. |
Snap | No action | Retire event; line events crossing the edit section will be split. The new event is snapped to a concurrent route, if one exists. | If route calibration is changed, the calibrate event behavior is applied; otherwise, no action is taken. |
Note:
The network can contain events that span routes in a line network. The behaviors are still applied in the same manner.
Because the LRS is time aware, edit activities such as retiring a route will time slice routes and events.
Route retirement results
In this example, the route Route1 is active from 1/1/2000. The retirement is set to occur at the beginning of the route on 1/1/2005. The Recalibrate route downstream option is not chosen. The graphics and tables below demonstrate the route information before and after the retirement.
Before route retirement
The following image shows the route before the retirement:
The following table provides details about the route before the retirement:
| Route Name | From Date | To Date | From Measure | To Measure |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Route1 | 1/1/2000 | <Null> | 0 | 55 |
After route retirement
The following image shows the route after the retirement.
The following table provides details about the route after the retirement:
| Route Name | From Date | To Date | From Measure | To Measure |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Route1 | 1/1/2000 | 1/1/2005 | 0 | 55 |
Route1 | 1/1/2005 | <Null> | 25 | 55 |
Events before route retirement
There are three events on Route1 and all of them have a start date (From Date) of 1/1/2000. The following image shows the route and events before the retirement:
The following table provides details about the events before the retirement:
| Event | Route Name | From Date | To Date | From Measure | To Measure |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Event1 | Route1 | 1/1/2000 | <Null> | 0 | 20 |
Event2 | Route1 | 1/1/2000 | <Null> | 20 | 30 |
Event3 | Route1 | 1/1/2000 | <Null> | 30 | 45 |
The following sections detail how event behavior rules are enforced after running the Apply Event Behaviors tool under this route retirement scenario.
Stay Put event behavior
Although the geographic location of the event is maintained, the measures can change. The event can also split if it crosses the retire region and portions within the retirement region are retired.
The Retire route edit activity with the Stay Put event behavior has the following effects:
- Event1 is retired on the date of the retirement because it is completely in the edit section.
- Event2 is retired on the date of the retirement because part of it is in the edit section. A new event is created on the post-retirement route with the retirement date as the starting date (From Date). The length of the new Event2 is shorter and its start measure (From Measure) value changes to 25 and end measure (To Measure) value changes to 30 to accommodate the new measures of Route1.
- Event3 is not affected because it is not in the retirement region.
The following image shows the route and events after the retirement:
Note:
The retired event is not drawn in the graphic above.
The following table provides details about the events after the retirement:
| Event | Route Name | From Date | To Date | From Measure | To Measure | Location Error |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Event1 | Route1 | 1/1/2000 | 1/1/2005 | 0 | 20 | No Error |
Event2 | Route1 | 1/1/2000 | 1/1/2005 | 20 | 30 | No Error |
Event2 | Route1 | 1/1/2005 | <Null> | 25 | 30 | No Error |
Event3 | Route1 | 1/1/2000 | <Null> | 30 | 45 | No Error |
Move event behavior
Although the measures of the event are maintained, the geographic location can change.
The Retire route edit activity with the Move event behavior has the following effects:
- Event1 is retired on the date of the retirement because part of it is in the edit section. A new event is created on the post-retirement route with the retirement date as the starting date. Because the measures do not change for the Move behavior, the new Event1 gets a location error while trying to locate Route1, but Route1 no longer exists. There is a record for the new Event1 in the event table, but it is not drawn because it does not have a length due to the location error.
- Event2 is retired on the date of the retirement because it is completely in the edit section. A new event is created on the post-retirement route with the retirement date as the starting date. Because the measures do not change for the Move behavior, there is a location error for the start measure because that measure (20) no longer exists on Route1. The shape of the new Event2 can still be drawn because part of it can still be located on the new Route1.
- Event3 is not affected as it is not in the retirement region.
The following image shows the route and events after the retirement:
The following table provides details about the events after the retirement:
| Event | Route Name | From Date | To Date | From Measure | To Measure | Location Error |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Event1 | Route1 | 1/1/2000 | 1/1/2005 | 0 | 20 | No Error |
Event1 | Route1 | 1/1/2005 | <Null> | 0 | 20 | Route Not Found |
Event2 | Route1 | 1/1/2000 | 1/1/2005 | 20 | 30 | No Error |
Event2 | Route1 | 1/1/2005 | <Null> | 20 | 30 | Partial match for From Measure |
Event3 | Route1 | 1/1/2000 | <Null> | 30 | 45 | No Error |
Retire event behavior
Events intersecting the retire region are retired.
The Retire route edit activity with the Retire event behavior has the following effects:
- Event1 retires on the date of the retirement because it is completely inside the retired region.
- Event2 retires on the date of the retirement because it intersects the retired region.
- Event3 is not affected because it is not in the retirement region.
The following image shows the route and events after the retirement:
The following table provides details about the events after the retirement:
| Event | Route Name | From Date | To Date | From Measure | To Measure | Location Error |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Event1 | Route1 | 1/1/2000 | 1/1/2005 | 0 | 20 | No Error |
Event2 | Route1 | 1/1/2000 | 1/1/2005 | 20 | 30 | No Error |
Event3 | Route1 | 1/1/2000 | <Null> | 30 | 45 | No Error |
Snap event behavior
Although the geographic location of the event is maintained by snapping to the new route location of retirement, the measures can change. The event can also split if it crosses the retirement where concurrent routes exist.
In this example, there is a Route2 that is concurrent with Route1. Route2 is in reversed direction and has the start measure value of 0 and end measure value of 55.
The route retirement edit activity with the Snap event behavior has the following effects:
- Event1 is retired on the date of the retirement because it is completely in the edit section. As a concurrent route exists in the realignment section, Event1 snaps to Route2, the concurrent route, after retirement. It is also reversed to accommodate the direction of Route2. The new event record has the retirement date as the starting date. The new start measure value of Event1 became 35 and the end measure value remained 55 on Route2 to maintain Event1's geographic location.
- Event2 is retired on the date of retirement since part of it is in the edit section. It then splits into two event records on the post-retirement routes with the retirement date as the starting date. This is because a concurrent route exists in the retirement section, and the portion of Event2 in the retirement section snaps to Route2, the concurrent route, after retirement. This portion of Event2 is also reversed to accommodate the direction of Route2. As a result, Event2 splits into two pieces to maintain its geographic location. The first event record has the start measure value of 25 and end measure value of 30 on Route1. The second event record snaps to Route2 and has the start measure value of 30 and end measure value of 35 on Route2.
- Event3 is not affected as it is not in the retirement region.
The following image shows the route and events after the retirement:
The following table provides details about the events after retirement:
| Event | Route Name | From Date | To Date | From Measure | To Measure | Location Error |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Event1 | Route1 | 1/1/2000 | 1/1/2005 | 0 | 20 | No Error |
Event1 | Route2 | 1/1/2005 | <Null> | 35 | 55 | No Error |
Event2 | Route1 | 1/1/2000 | 1/1/2005 | 20 | 30 | No Error |
Event2 | Route1 | 1/1/2005 | <Null> | 25 | 30 | No Error |
Event2 | Route2 | 1/1/2005 | <Null> | 30 | 35 | No Error |
Event3 | Route1 | 1/1/2005 | <Null> | 30 | 45 | No Error |
Detailed behavior on routes in a line network with events that span routes
In this example, there are four routes on the same line and the routes are active from 1/1/2000. The retirement is set to occur on 1/1/2005 where the entire Route1 and half of Route2 are retired. The Recalibrate route downstream option is not chosen. The images and tables below demonstrate the route information before and after the retirement.
Before route retirement

38 | 48 |
| Route4 | LineA | 300 | 1/1/2005 | <Null> | 38 | 48 |
Events before retirement
There are two spanning events on routes on LineA. The following image shows the routes and events before the retirement:
The following table provides details about the events before the retirement:
| Event ID | From Date | To Date | From Route Name | To Route Name | From Measure | To Measure |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Event1 |
1/1/2000 | <Null> | Route1 | Route3 | 0 | 30 |
Event2 |
1/1/2000 | <Null> | Route3 | Route4 | 30 | 48 |
The following sections describe how event behavior rules are enforced when routes on a line in a line network are retired.
Stay Put event behavior
Although the geographic location of the event is maintained, the measures can change. The event can also split if it crosses the retire region, and portions within the retirement region are retired.
The route retirement edit activity with the Stay Put event behavior has the following effects:
- Event1 is retired on the date of the retirement because part of it is in the edit section. A new event is created on the post-retirement routes with the retirement date as the starting date. The length of the new Event1 is shorter because its start measure value changes to 12 on Route2 and the end measure value changes to 30 on Route3 to accommodate the new measures of Route2.
- Event2 is not affected because it is not in the retirement region.
The following image shows the routes and events after the retirement:
Note:
The retired event is not drawn in the image above.
The following table provides details about the events after the retirement:
| Event ID | From Date | To Date | From Route Name | To Route Name | From Measure | To Measure | Location Error |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Event1 | 1/1/2000 | 1/1/2005 | Route1 | Route3 | 0 | 30 | No Error |
Event1 | 1/1/2005 | <Null> | Route2 | Route3 |
17 | 30 | No Error |
Event2 | 1/1/2000 | <Null> | Route3 | Route4 | 30 | 48 | No Error |
Move event behavior
Although the measures of the event are maintained, the geographic location can change.
The route retirement edit activity with the Move event behavior has the following effects:
- Event1 is retired on the date of the retirement because part of it is in the edit section. A new event is created on the post-retirement route with the retirement date as the starting date. Because the measures do not change for the Move behavior, the new Event1 gets a location error while trying to locate Route1 for its start measure but Route1 no longer exists. There is a record for the new Event1 in the event table, but it is not drawn because it does not have a length due to the location error.
- Event2 is not affected because it is not in the retirement region.
The following image shows the routes and events after the retirement:
The following table provides details about the events after the retirement:
| Event ID | From Date | To Date | From Route Name | To Route Name | From Measure | To Measure | Location Error |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Event1 | 1/1/2000 | 1/1/2005 | Route1 | Route3 | 0 | 30 | No Error |
Event1 | 1/1/2005 | <Null> | Route1 | Route3 | 0 | 30 | Route Not Found |
Event2 | 1/1/2000 | <Null> | Route3 | Route4 | 30 | 48 | No Error |
Retire event behavior
Events intersecting the retire region are retired.
The route retirement edit activity with the Retire event behavior has the following effects:
- Event1 retires on the date of the retirement because it intersects the retired region.
- Event2 is not affected because it is not in the retirement region.
The following image shows the routes and events after the retirement:
The following table provides details about the events after the retirement:
| Event ID | From Date | To Date | From Route Name | To Route Name | From Measure | To Measure | Location Error |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Event1 | 1/1/2000 | 1/1/2005 | Route1 | Route3 | 0 | 30 | No Error |
Event2 | 1/1/2000 | <Null> | Route3 | Route4 | 30 | 48 | No Error |
Snap event behavior
Although the geographic location of the event is maintained by snapping to the new route location of retirement, the measures can change. The event can also split if it crosses the retirement where concurrent routes exist.
In this example, there is a Route5 that is concurrent with the routes on LineA. Route5 is on LineB and is in the reversed direction. It has the start measure value of 0 and end measure value of 40.
The route retirement described above has the following effects:
- Event1 is retired on the date of retirement because part of it is in the edit section. It then splits into two event records on the post-retirement routes with the retirement date as the starting date. This is because a concurrent route exists in the retirement section, and the portion of Event1 in the retirement section snaps to Route5, the concurrent route, after retirement. This portion of Event1 is also reversed to accommodate the direction of Route5. As a result, Event1 splits into two pieces to maintain its geographic location. The first event record has the start measure value of 16 on Route2 and end measure value of 30 on Route3. The second event record snaps to Route5 and has the start measure value of 25 and end measure value of 40 on Route5.
- Event2 is not affected because it is not in the retirement region.

The following table provides details about the events after retirement:
| Event ID | From Date | To Date | From Route Name | To Route Name | From Measure | To Measure | Location Error |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Event1 | 1/1/2000 | 1/1/2005 | Route1 | Route3 | 0 | 30 | No Error |
Event1 | 1/1/2005 | <Null> | Route2 | Route3 | 17 | 30 | No Error |
Event1 | 1/1/2005 | <Null> | Route5 | Route5 | 25 | 40 | No Error |
Event2 | 1/1/2000 | <Null> | Route3 | Route4 | 30 | 48 | No Error |
