Event behavior for route reversal

Available with Location Referencing license.

When one or more routes are reversed, events are impacted depending on the configured event behavior for the 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:

For any LRS route edit in which Recalibrate route downstream is chosen, the configured calibrate event behavior is applied to downstream sections. You can review configured event behaviors by viewing LRS event properties.

Route reversal scenario

The following route reversal scenario involves one route and two events:

Before route reversal

Stay Put behavior

The geographic location of the events is preserved; the measures are changed.

Stay Put behavior

Move behavior

The event measures on the route are maintained; the geographic location is changed.

Move behavior

Retire behavior

The geographic location and measure of the events are preserved; the events are retired.

Retire behavior

Detailed behavior results

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

Stay Put event behavior

If the route is active from 1/1/2000 and the reversal is set to occur on 1/1/2005, 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 5 to 12, and a time slice of 1/1/2005 to <Null>, with the measures 8 to 15 in the reverse direction.
  • 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 12 to 20, and a time slice of 1/1/2005 to <Null> with the measures 0 to 8 in the reverse direction.

Move event behavior

If the route is active from 1/1/2000 and the reversal is set to occur on 1/1/2005, 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 5 to 12, and a time slice of 1/1/2005 to <Null>, with the same measures but in the reverse direction.
  • 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 12 to 20, and a time slice of 1/1/2005 to <Null> with the same measures but in the reverse direction.

Retire event behavior

If the realignment is set to occur on 1/1/2005 and the route reversal is set to occur on 1/1/2005, this has the following effects:

  • Event1 retires.
  • Event2 retires.

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

The following sections detail how event behavior rules are enforced when a route in a line network is reversed. In this example, the routes are reversed, including the intermediate route (Route2) between the from route (Route1) and to route (Route3). There are two events (Event1 and Event2) that are impacted by route reversal.

Stay Put event behavior

The routes are active from 1/1/2000, and if the reversal is set to occur on 1/1/2005, 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 measures from 7 on Route1 to 18 on Route2, and a time slice from 1/1/2005 to <Null>, with measures from 22 on Route2 to 3 on Route1.
  • Event2 is represented by two time slices. There is a time slice from 1/1/2000 to 1/1/2005, with measures from 18 on Route 2 to 35 on Route3, and a time slice from 1/1/2005 to <Null>, with measures from 35 on Route 3 to 20 on Route2.
