Reassign routes

Disponible con licencia de Location Referencing.

Reassignment is the technique by which all or a portion of a route or line is moved, or reassigned, to the immediate upstream or downstream of another route or line. An example is when administrative boundaries change and you need to redesignate the portion of a road that now falls on the other side of a boundary. In addition to reassigning the route, the Reassign Route tool can update attribute fields and calibration points and apply end-user-configured event behaviors located along the reassigned route.

Scenarios that can be accomplished using the reassign activity are described below.

Nota:

For all of the following scenarios, you can choose entire routes or partial routes.

Merge routes to an existing route

RouteX and RouteY are adjoining routes. You can use the Reassign Route tool to merge RouteX with RouteY or vice versa. The existing RouteX and RouteY are retired. You can merge the reassigned portion to any immediate upstream or downstream route.

Source
Route ID	RouteX
From Measure	0
To Measure	20
Target
Route ID	RouteY
From Measure	0
To Measure	30

Split an existing route

Route XYZ has measures from 0 to 30. As shown in this example, you can split the route in two: Route1 (which is a new route), and a new version of RouteXYZ. The existing RouteXYZ is retired as a result of this operation.

Source
Route ID	RouteXYZ
From Measure	0
To Measure	19
Target
Route ID	Route1 (new)
From Measure	0
To Measure	19

Rename a route

You can rename an existing route and change its From and To measure values using the Reassign Route tool. RouteXYZ is renamed Route123, with new measures. The existing RouteXYZ is retired as a result of this operation.

Source
Route ID	RouteXYZ
From Measure	0
To Measure	30
Target
Route	Route123
From Measure	15
To Measure	45

Transfer calibration points to a target route

You can transfer calibration points to a target route on networks that have a user-created Route ID.

Nota:

The option to transfer calibration points to a target route during reassignment is checked by default and is the preferred method to maintain established measures.

Source
Route ID	RouteX
From Measure	0
To Measure	20
Target
Route	RouteY
From Measure	0
To Measure	30

Recalibrate downstream

The following examples describe recalibrating downstream. You can reassign routes with the source route calibrated or not calibrated downstream.

Reassign with the source route not calibrated downstream

In this case, RouteX is split into two routes: Route1, which starts at the start of the old RouteX and ends at the middle of the old RouteX. The to measure value of the newly created Route1 has been changed to 3 instead of the suggested measure of 5. Since the Recalibrate route downstream option is not chosen for the source route, the downstream route's (RouteX) measures remain intact.

Source
From Route	RouteX
From Measure	0
To Route (Option only for networks with lines)	RouteX
To Measure	5
Target
Route	Route1 (new)
From Measure	0
To Measure	3

Reassign with the source route calibrated downstream

In this case, RouteX is split into two routes: Route1, which starts at the start of the old RouteX and ends at the middle of the old RouteX. The to measure value of the newly created Route1 has been changed to 3 instead of the suggested measure of 5. If the Recalibrate route downstream option is chosen for the source route, downstream route RouteX’s measures change to the from measure value of 0 and to measure value of 5.

Source
From Route	RouteX
From Measure	0
To Route (Option only for networks with lines)	RouteX
To Measure	5
Target
Route	Route1 (new)
From Measure	0
To Measure	3

Reassign with the target route calibrated downstream

In this case, a part of RouteX is merged with the adjoining route, RouteY. The reassignment takes place from the middle of RouteX on the downstream side. Since the Recalibrate route downstream option is chosen for the target route, the measures of RouteY downstream of the reassigned portion are recalibrated. The new version of RouteY now has a to measure value of 9.

From Measure	5
To Measure	10
Target
Route	RouteY
From Measure	0
To Measure	9

Attributes

If your network has attribute fields other than the system-defined fields, you have the opportunity to either transfer the existing values of the source route or enter new values into the Reassign Route pane. The existing values of the source route are populated by default.

This attribute section supports domains and subtypes as well.

Nota:

The field alias appears in the Reassign Route pane rather than the field name.

Nota:

Gap calibration rules are followed when editing routes.

The following steps can be used to implement any reassign scenario.

1. Add the network feature class to a map.

   You can also open a map in which the network feature class is already present.

   Nota:

   Traditionally versioned networks must be edited through a direct connection to the geodatabase. Branch versioned networks, which include any network configured with a user-generated route ID, must be edited through a feature service.

2. Zoom in to the location where you want to reassign the route.
3. Click the Reassign button on the Location Referencing tab.

   The Reassign Route pane appears.

4. Click the Network drop-down arrow and choose the network in which the route reassignment will take place.

   Nota:

   To edit using feature services, the LRS Network must be published with the linear referencing and version management capabilities.

5. Click the Effective Date drop-down arrow and choose a date for the edit.

   Sugerencia:

   • Optionally, type the date in the Effective Date text box.
   • Double-click the empty Effective Date text box to populate it with today's date.
6. In the Source Route section, click the Choose route from map button and click the route on the map to populate Route ID.
7. Enter a from measure value for the route using one of the following options:

   Type a measure.	Type a from measure value in the From Measure text box.
   Choose the from measure value in the map.	Click the Choose measure from map button and click a measure in the map.
   Use the route start as the from measure value.	Check the Use route start measure check box.

   A green dot is placed at the location. The reassignment starts from this location.

8. Enter a To Measure value using one of the following options:

   Type a measure.	Type a to measure value in the To Measure text box.
   Choose the to measure value in the map.	Click the Choose measure from map button and click a measure in the map.
   Use the route end as the to measure value.	Check the Use route end measure check box.

   A red dot is placed at the location. The reassignment takes place on the routes or the portions of routes that exist between the green and red dots. The routes that are intersected by the reassignment portion are retired.

9. Choose whether you want to recalibrate the remainder of the reassigned route downstream of the reassigned portion.
   • Check the Recalibrate route downstream check box to recalibrate the remainder of the reassigned route downstream of the reassigned portion.
   • Uncheck the Recalibrate route downstream check box if you do not want to recalibrate the remainder of the reassigned route downstream of the reassigned portion.
10. Enter a from measure value for the target route reassignment location using one of the following options:

    Type a from measure value.	Type a value in the From Measure text box.
    Get a suggested value if you do not know the from measure value.	Click the Recalculate From Measure button . The from measure value is calculated as the source measure length minus the to measure value.

    Nota:

    • If you are filling a gap, this value is equal to the measure at the beginning of the gap.
    • If you are adding the reassigned route to the end of the target route, this value is equal to the end measure of the target route.
    • If you are creating a route or adding the reassigned portion to the beginning of the target route, this value is 0.

    Nota:

    For the line network, the measures can be entered as station values in 00+00.00 or 00+00.000 format.

11. Enter the to measure value of the target route reassignment location using one of the following options:

    Type a measure.	Type a to measure value in the To Measure text box.
    Choose the to measure value in the map.	Click the Choose measure from map button and click a measure in the map.
    Get a suggested value if you don't know the to measure value.	Click the Recalculate To Measure button . The to measure value is calculated as the source measure length minus the from measure value.

    Nota:

    • If you are filling a gap, this value is equal to the measure at the end of the gap.
    • If you are creating a route or adding the reassigned value to the end of the target route, this value is equal to the new end measure of the route.
    • If you are adding the reassigned route to the beginning of the target route, this value is equal to the total length in the linear referencing method (LRM) measure units of the reassigned portion.

12. Choose whether you want to recalibrate the remainder of the reassigned route downstream of the reassigned portion.
    • Check the Recalibrate route downstream check box to recalibrate the remainder of the reassigned route downstream of the reassigned portion.
    • Uncheck the Recalibrate route downstream check box if you do not want to recalibrate the remainder of the reassigned route downstream of the reassigned portion.
13. Choose whether you want to transfer the source calibration points to the target route.

    The Transfer calibration points to the target route check box is checked by default and is the preferred method to maintain established measures between points.

    Nota:

    All of the calibration points between and including the from measure and to measure values, even those spanning routes in between, are included in the transfer of calibration points to the target route.

    The Reassign Route pane is fully populated.

14. Click Next.

    The route is reassigned.

    Nota:

    If a message about acquiring locks or reconciling appears, conflict prevention is enabled.

Reassign routes in a line network with a multifield route ID

Routes in a line network with multifield route ID can be reassigned to new or existing routes as shown in the following examples.

Reassign to a new route

In the following example, reassignment of the middle portion of RouteX to a new route is shown.

Input

Route ID	Line order
RouteX	100
RouteY	200

After reassignment, RouteA is created from the reassigned middle portion. Line order has been updated with the new RouteA at 200 and RouteY moved to 300 in the line order.

Output

Route ID	Line order
RouteX	100
RouteA	200
RouteY	300

Reassign to an existing route

In the following example, the middle portion of a route will be assigned to an existing route.

Input

Route ID	Line order
RouteX	100
RouteY	200

The middle portion of RouteX will be reassigned to the existing route, RouteY.

Output

Route ID	Line order
RouteX	100
