Iowa DOT LRS Steve Kadolph Research & Technology Bureau Highway Division
Discussion Topics • What is the LRS • Data collection status • How is the DOT using it
LRS Team Recommendations • Need to improve spatial representation • Use NCHRP (20-27) project model • Need ability to integrate variety of data • Mile post referenced data (US 30 @ 135.23) • Coordinate referenced data (Lat, Long, I35) • Literal description data (2.51 mi past 1st St) • Road address data (247 E. Main St) • Need to provide a navigable network • Establish maintenance processes and partnerships
LRS - Linear Referencing Systema set of procedures and methods for specifying a location as a distance, or offset, along a linear feature, from a point with known locationLRM - Linear Referencing MethodDifferent methods of measuring linear locations; (i.e. milepoint, literal description, address range, etc.)

LRS Components • Roadway Shape – Cartographies • Datum - Anchor Points/Anchor Sections • Network - Transport Nodes/Transport Links • Routes – E911, State, County, Municipal, Private, Institutional, Unofficial, Ramps • LRM Components – Reference Posts, etc.

Partnering Benefits • Provides a centralized data storage facility and data source for most road transportation information systems • Minimizes redundancy • City Government (Utilities, Engineering) • County Government (Engineering, Assessor) • State Government (DOT, Emergency Mgmt) • Federal Government (Census, FHWA)
What Is Required to Use the LRS • Reference Post LRM (MilePost) • Route System (Interstate, US, Iowa) • Route Number (29, 65, 151, etc.) • Reference Post (1, 2, 3, 3A, etc.) • Offset (+/- distance from observed Post) • Coordinate Route (GPS) • Coordinates (Latitude, Longitude) • Route System and Number (ensures correct route selected in dense road networks) • Temporal Component (mm/dd/yy)
