Location Referencing ライセンスで利用可能です。
ArcGIS Pipeline Referencing supports three types of networks: linear referencing system (LRS) networks, LRS line networks, and LRS derived networks.
LRS ネットワーク
LRS ネットワークとは、特定のリニア リファレンス方法 (LRM) に基づいて計測されたルートのコレクションです。
例
走行距離計ネットワークおよび郡ネットワーク
LRS ライン ネットワーク
LRS ライン ネットワークとは、ラインへのルートを論理的にグループ化したもので、メジャー値は単調に増加または減少します。 このネットワーク タイプは、ルートにまたがるイベントをサポートし、数式もサポートします。
例
エンジニアリング ステーション ネットワーク フィーチャクラスは、ライン ネットワークとしてモデル化するために必要なフィールドを保持しています。 
| ルート ID | Route Name | ライン順序 | ライン ID | ライン名 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| {1838BE01-0BC9-4C58-9829-0F1D77717DCB} | Route 1 | 100 | {C043CAF0-2BF7-4598-8AC8-B382647AD490} | Line A |
| {26710A05-C499-42C1-BB73-D3A8D402B109} | Route 2 | 200 | {C043CAF0-2BF7-4598-8AC8-B382647AD490} | Line A |
| {5582FB08-84E3-49D4-8781-1D3EF7B4F2E2} | Route 3 | 300 | {C043CAF0-2BF7-4598-8AC8-B382647AD490} | Line A |
LRS 派生ネットワーク
派生ネットワークとは、ライン ネットワークから生成されるネットワークです。 派生ネットワークでは、同じラインに属するルートがマージされ、始点メジャーが 0 のルートが 1 つ作成されます。
例
エンジニアリング ステーション ネットワーク フィーチャクラスを親ネットワークとして使用することで、連続的なネットワーク ルートを生成できます。 派生ネットワークは、メジャー値が連続しているルートのコレクションであり、分岐していない物理的パイプのコースです。 これらのメジャー値は、長さの報告やダイナミック セグメンテーション分析に使用することができます。
Why are different types of LRS networks needed?
Pipeline Referencing supports multiple linear referencing in a single geodatabase. Business units in an organization may need to report measures in many different LRMs. For example, engineering and construction may need to collect, maintain, and report events in engineering measures (also known as engineering stations), whereas other business entities need to report measures based on the continuous length of the pipe.
Location Referencing currently does not have a limit for the number of networks that you can create in a linear referencing system (LRS). However, the type of LRS Networks you need depends on your organization’s business process. Consider the following business case:
In a pipeline organization, there are three business units that collect, manage, and maintain pipeline assets. These three business units are surveying, engineering and construction, and regulatory and compliance.
The surveying group is in charge of collecting inline inspection (ILI) data, whereas the engineering and construction group is responsible for new construction, realignments, and work order management. The regulatory and compliance group is tasked with submitting and generating reports for the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and other government entities.
In this case, three types of LRS networks are needed to sustain each of the three business units.
- LRS Network—ILI runs can be loaded in this type of network using the Append Events tool and will maintain continuous, uninterrupted measures for ILI data based on odometer readings.
- LRS line network—Data such as anomalies can be extracted from ILI data using the Translate Event Measures tool and transformed into an LRS line network. You can then use anomaly events to report measures based on engineering measures for the work order management or operations group.
- LRS derived network—This type of network can be used for mileage or PHMSA reporting. Note that events can't be registered to this type of network.
When are different types of LRS networks required?
Every organization's business processes are different. If your business process only requires one type of network, you do not have to configure multiple LRS Networks. For example, if your business process requires continuous measures to be maintained and reported, then you can configure your LRS to only support a non-line LRS Network. Similarly, if your business process collects and maintains data with equation points or other engineering stationing, you can configure an LRS line network to maintain the data as it is collected and an LRS derived network for continuous measure reporting. In this scenario, you can also configure events to store derived measures.
注意:
The LRS derived network is generated from the LRS line network. If you don't configure an LRS line network, the LRS derived network can't be configured.
