AgileAssets - Roads and Highways LRS Interface User's Guide

Location is an important aspect of an asset management system. In order to decide how to best spend limited transportation management funds, it is important to know where these funds are needed. That is why the maintenance of asset linear locations is so important.

Esri Roads and Highways is an example of the new breed of single-source linear referencing system (LRS) maintenance tools. That is, it is designed to update not only the road network but also the linear location of all assets and events associated with that network. The Roads and Highways system works by using the editor to make changes to the roadway network and the system automates the update of linear locations for assets and events. This is a powerful way to maintain locations because one single LRS edit can easily necessitate hundreds of asset location edits.

The interface described in this document uses the web services that Roads and Highways provides in order to maintain the linear locations within the AgileAssets system. That way, even though the AgileAssets system and Roads and Highways are separate, they work together to maintain these locations.
