Create Multi-Route Events
Something my organization would love to see is the ability to create a single line event along multiple routes. One example of when this would be used is applying calcium chloride to gravel roads for dust suppression -- the residence may be near an intersection, and dust suppression is required on both the N/S road and the E/W road. Before implementing Roads and Highways, the resident submits a single request, the GIS teams inputs a single feature, the field staff performs a single application, and the reporting is on a single feature. But now with the implementation of Roads and Highways, a single request turns into 2 events, so 2 reports need to be filled and tracked. There are workarounds for this, but it would be great to see it as a native feature in Roads and Highways.
An event spanning multiple routes might require a unique schema with fields of FromMeasureRoute1, ToMeasureRoute1, FromMeasureRoute2, and ToMeasureRoute2 or something along those lines. Digitizing them may need to be relative to the Intersection feature class (ie 150 metres North and 150 metres East of the intersection). I'm sure dynamic segmentation would be able to handle a multi-route event like this without issue. Retiring the portion of the event along Route 1 while keeping the portion along Route 2 would maybe be a difficult thing to set up.
We have a couple of specific line events where this would be of benefit and ease our workflow, and it's something we would love to see. We have some scenarios where we'd like to even see a single event along 3+ routes, but 2 routes would be a great starting point
@ClintSteeves1 Thanks for the idea - the use case makes sense.
Have you modelled LRS with Line Network ? This type of network supports line events that span routes on the same line as below.
- Use Create LRS Event checking the Event Spans Routes.
