Main Page/LRS measures for TRAC

Creating points from LRS measured locations using WSDOT LRS line data and ASCII tables with mileposts

Point source data

Note the Roadway and Milepost fields.

LRS data

• The LRS data have specific fields as well.
• We added a field called roadway (text, 50)
• Calculated roadway = [RT_TYPEA] & " " & [DISPLAY]
• Find-and-replaced "IS " with "I-" (note trailing space after IS)

SR	DISPLAY	RT_TYPEA	RT_TYPEB	SRID	RID	RRT	RRQ	SHAPE_len	roadway

Referencing

1. Add csv file of points to ArcMap.
2. Stock LRS method from ArcGIS (Display Route Events)
3. Exported route events to shapefile
4. Projected to WGS84 (1st Transformation choice NAD 1983 to HARN WGS 1984)
5. Calculated XY coordinates (ArcToolbox AddXY Coordinates).

End up with a table looking like:
