Realign routes

Location Referencing ライセンスで利用可能です。

During the life span of a roadway, route geometry and length may change. Portions of the routes are removed while others are added. Major changes, such as environmental concerns or repair work, may require an update in the shape of the route's geometry and length. ArcGIS Location Referencing uses centerlines to perform such realignments.

The centerline features used to realign routes can be existing features in the centerline feature class, be digitized into the centerline feature class (using aerial photography or other basemaps for guidance), be copied and pasted from other feature classes, or be imported from CAD files or other ArcGIS-supported data sources.

This table explains the parameters used in the Realign Route tool.

VariableContinuous Measure network

Network

The network in which the continuous routes exist.

Effective Date

The date when the realignment has taken place on the ground.

Source Route: Route ID

The route where the realignment takes place.

Source Route: From measure

The measure on the source route where the realignment starts; shown by the green dot.

Source Route: To measure

The measure on the source route where the realignment ends; shown by the red dot.

Realigned Route: From measure

The starting measure on the realigned portion.

Realigned Route: To measure

The ending measure on the realigned portion.

In the following example, the route has a start measure of 0 and an end measure of 30 before realignment. The realign section selected has measures from 10 to 20.

Example 1: Before realign

Route IDRouteXYZ

From Measure

Use the following steps to realign routes:

メモ:

Gap calibration rules are followed when editing routes.

  1. Add the centerline and network feature class to a map.

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

    メモ:

    The information model expects only one centerline at any given location. Ensure that the centerlines you're using for your edit do not overlap other centerlines in your LRS.

    メモ:

    Traditionally versioned networks must be edited through a direct connection to the geodatabase. Branch versioned networks, including 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 realign the route.

    メモ:

    The centerline feature for realigning the route must exist in the centerline feature class before realigning the route.

  3. On the Location Referencing tab, in the Routes group, click Realign Realign.
    Realign button

    The Realign Route pane appears with the Select By Rectangle 四角形による選択 option chosen by default.

  4. Use your pointer to select one or more centerlines by rectangle at the location of the new route.

    You can also optionally click the Select one or more centerlines drop-down arrow to choose one of the remaining selection tools: Select By Polygon Select by Polygon, Select By Lasso Select by Lasso, Select By Circle Select by Circle, Select By Line Select by Line, or Select By Trace トレースによる選択.

    Alternatively, you can use the interactive selection tools found on the Map tab on the ArcGIS Pro ribbon.

    The selected centerlines are highlighted on the map and the Allow choosing of one or more centerlines button Allow choosing one or more centerlines appears in the Realign Route pane. The count of Selected Centerlines is shown above the table.

    メモ:
    • The direction of digitization of the centerline, depicted by the direction of the arrowhead on the selected centerline, also determines the direction of increasing measure calibration. You can reverse direction for the chosen centerlines using the Flip the direction of the centerlines button Flip the direction of the centerlines.
    • You can keep the centerlines chosen after realigning the route.
  5. Click the Allow choosing of one or more centerlines button Allow choosing one or more centerlines.

    A table appears in the Realign Route pane with each chosen centerline in a numbered row that corresponds to the selection order. Chosen centerlines are numbered on the map and highlighted. The count of Chosen Centerlines is shown below the table.

  11. The to measure value is automatically populated in the Realigned Route section.

    The suggested to measure value is the measure at the location where the end of the centerline touches the target route. It is calculated by the geometric length of the centerline minus the to measure.

    メモ:

    Z-values are considered when calculating the geometric length of the centerlines.

    • Optionally, you can type a to measure value of your choice.
    • If you do not know the to measure, allow Roads and Highways to suggest it. Click the Recalculate To Measure button Recalculate To Measure to do so. This value is calculated as the sum of the from measure value and the geometric length of the centerline.
  12. Click Run.

    The route realignment goes through.

Realign routes in a line network with multifield route ID

Route realignment in a line network with multifield route ID is supported using the following rule: The centerlines that will be used for realignment must not touch the route being realigned.

The following examples illustrate this rule.

In the first example below, the centerline touches route R1, so only route R2 can be realigned.

Example 1: Before realignment

Route IDLine Order

R1

100

R2

Example 1: Before realignment

The line orders are updated as per the new realignment.

Example 1: After realignment
