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

Point source data

Data are stored like so: 

"Name","Alias","Roadway","Location","Milepost","CommStatus"
"002es00068",,"US 2","Homeacres Rd",0.68,"DISABLE"
"002es00504",,"US 2","SR 9",5.04,"DISABLE"
"005es13969","ES-002D","I-5","Pierce Co Line",139.69,"Marginal"
"005es14015","ES-003D","I-5","S 375th St",140.15,"Active"
"005es14016","ES-003M","I-5","S 375th St",140.16,"FAILURE"

"005es14460","ES-019D","I-5","S 308th St",144.6,"Active"
...

Note the Roadway and Milepost fields.

LRS data

  • Data from wsdot
  • Shapefile used: SR24kLRSIncreaseSPS.shp
  • 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
002	2	US	2	002	002			1702571.18167000000	US 2
002COBROWNE	2	US	2	002COBROWNE	002	CO	BROWNE	3342.74767430000	US 2

...

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: 

Name	Alias	Roadway	Location	Milepost	CommStatus	POINT_X	POINT_Y	POINT_M
099es03298	ES-R41M	SR 99	Valley St	32.96000000000	FAILURE	-122.34487549000	47.71603899710	32.96000000000
