Retire routes

Disponible con licencia de Location Referencing.

During the life span of a roadway, major changes such as environmental concerns, age, erosion, or repair work, can require a retirement of a route segment, or an entire route to be retired for a specific period of time.

When you specify that a section of a route should be retired, that section is removed from the route in the LRS Network for the specified time frame. When a route is retired using the Retire Route tool, the route's To Date field in the LRS Network feature class is populated with the retirement date.

When sections of a route are retired, the centerline features are split to accommodate the precise location of the retire operation. Calibration points are also added to ensure that the remainder of the route is calibrated properly.

Route retirement scenarios

The following are examples of route retirement scenarios:

Retirement on a route without recalibration

Retirement is from the start of the route to the middle portion of the route.

From RouteRouteX

From Measure

0

To Measure

5

Recalibrate Downstream

No

Example 1 input: Routes and measures

After retirement, the route is not recalibrated, leaving the downstream measures intact. The start measure of the remaining route is updated to the same value as the start measure of the route before its retirement.

Example 1 output: Routes and measures

Retirement on a route with downstream recalibration

Retirement is from the start of the route to the middle portion of the route. The route is recalibrated downstream and the downstream measures are updated.

Example 2 input: Routes and measures

From RouteRouteX

From Measure

0

To Measure

5

Recalibrate Downstream

No

After retirement, the route is not recalibrated, leaving the downstream measures intact. The start measure of the remaining route is updated to the same value as the start measure of the route before its retirement.

Retire routes in a line network

The following examples demonstrate how routes in a line network can be retired. Line orders are updated if needed.

The first example shows the before and after retirement at the beginning.

Example 1 input

Route IDLine Order

RouteX

100

RouteA

200

RouteY

300

The first part of RouteX at the beginning will be retired.

Before retirement at the beginning of a line

After retirement of the first part of RouteX, line order is updated. RouteA now has line order 100, while RouteX is now 200.

Example 1 output

Route IDLine Order

RouteA

100

RouteX

200

RouteY

300

After retirement at the beginning of a line

The second example shows before and after retirement at the end.

Example 2 input

Route IDLine Order

Route X

100

Route Y

200

The second part of RouteY will be retired.

Before retirement at the end of a line

Example 2 output

Route IDLine Order

Line order is unaffected when retiring a route or part of a route at the end.

Retire route parameters

The following table lists the parameters used in the Retire Route tool:

ParameterDescription

Network

The network in which the routes exist.

Retire Date

The date when the retirement takes place.

Route ID

The route on which the retirement takes place.

From Measure

The measure on the route where the retirement starts. This is displayed as a green dot.

Use route start measure

The starting measure of the route.

To Measure

The measure on the target route where the retirement ends. This is displayed as a red dot.

Use route end measure

The ending measure of the target route.

Recalibrate route downstream

Choose this option to remove the length of the retired route from your overall set of measures.

Complete these steps to retire a route:

Nota:

Se siguen las reglas de calibración de huecos al editar rutas.

  1. Agregue la clase de entidad de red y línea central al mapa.

    También puede abrir un mapa en el que la clase de entidad de red y línea central ya están presentes.

    Nota:

    El modelo de información espera solo una línea central en una ubicación determinada. Asegúrese de que las líneas centrales que utiliza para su edición no se superpongan con otras líneas centrales de su LRS.

    Nota:

    Las redes versionadas de forma tradicional se deben editar a través de una conexión directa a la geodatabase. Las redes versionadas en rama, incluidas cualquier red configurada con un Id. de ruta generado por el usuario, se deben editar a través de un servicio de entidades.

  2. Zoom in to the location where you want to retire the route.
  3. Click the Retire button Retirar on the Location Referencing tab.

    The Retire Route pane appears.

  4. Choose the Network in which you want to retire a route.
    Nota:

    Para editar con servicios de entidades, la red LRS se debe publicar con las funcionalidades de referenciación lineal y administración de versiones.

  5. Click the Calendar button Calendario next to the Retire Date text box and choose a retirement date.
    Sugerencia:

    You can also double-click the Retire Date text box to automatically populate it with today's date or type a date in the Retire Date text box.

  6. Click the Choose route from map button Elegir ruta del mapa next to the Route ID parameter and select a route to retire on the map.
  7. Provide the start measure value in the From Measure text box or click the Choose measure from map button Elegir medida del mapa to select the start measure on the map.

    A green dot appears at the location of the start measure on the route.

    Sugerencia:

    You can also check the Use route start measure check box to choose the start measure of the route.

  8. Provide the end measure value in the To Measure text box or click the Choose measure from map button Elegir medida del mapa to select the end measure on the map.

    A red dot appears at the location of the end measure on the route.

    Sugerencia:

    You can also check the Use route end measure check box to choose the end measure of the route.

    Nota:

    Check the Recalibrate route downstream check box if you want to remove the length of the retired route from your overall set of measures.

    If the Recalibrate route downstream check box is unchecked, the modified route gets its start measure from the end measure of the retired section, and the end measure of the modified route remains unchanged.

    You can't retire the route if the From Measure and To Measure values for the route are the same.

  9. Click Run.
    Nota:

    If your route edit will result in the introduction of one or more physical gaps on the route, a prompt appears to alert you before the tool is run. If you didn't plan to create a gapped route, answer No and edit your digitized centerlines so that no gaps result during route editing.

    If the route being edited already had one or more physical gaps, and no additional physical gaps were introduced by the edit, no prompt will appear.

    You can prevent unplanned centerlines by enabling snapping in the active map, or by enabling snapping using the Edit tab, Snapping group, Snapping button Lista por alineación.

    You can disable this warning by unchecking Warn before allowing route edits that can create physical gaps in Location Referencing options.

    The selected section of the route is retired.

    Nota:

    As a result of the retire route activity, only routes or sections of a route are retired; centerlines are not retired.
