The Location tab has fields that record a street address, or two streets to indicate an intersection. There are also fields that document a location using GPS coordinates. You are not required to record GPS coordinate data in these fields, particularly if you use a geodatabase to maintain this information. These fields are only provided for your convenience. Other fields related to maps and drawings are available for your specific documentation needs. In addition, several fields in this tab have special functions, these are described below:
Field Name |
Definition |
Address 1 and 2 |
The two Address fields can be used to indicate an intersection. |
Segment ID |
This field allows you to link your asset with a Segment from the Street Segment Network. Press F9 to select from the pick list, or click on the field caption button. The selections in the list will be limited by the street name you selected in the Address 1 field; only Segments related to that street will appear. Once you select a Segment ID, the corresponding Subsegment Code for this record may be automatically filled in. For additional information, consult the Segment help guide. |
Intersection ID |
This field allows you to link your asset with an Intersection from the Street Intersection Network. Press F9 to select from the pick list, or click on the field caption button. The selections in the list will be limited by the street name you selected in the Address 1 field; only Segments related to that street will appear. For additional information, consult the Intersection help guide. |
Subsegment Code |
This field allows you to link your asset with a Subsegment from the Pavement Manager. If you chose an associated Segment in the above field, this information will already be filled in. If you did not yet choose a Segment, press F9 to select from the pick list, or click on the field caption button. For additional information, consult the Subsegment help guide. |
Supersegment ID |
This field allows you to link your asset with a Supersegment from the Pavement Manager. Press F9 to select from the pick list, or click on the field caption button. For additional information, consult the Supersegment help guide. |
Road Number |
This field allows you to associate your bus stop with a road from the Road. To select a road, click on the field caption button or press F9 to access the pick list. |
Ref Post |
Reference Posts are generally recorded in miles and are also known as Mile Markers. These posts typically do not move when a portion of the road is contracted or expanded. The reference post will be displayed in the corresponding Roads record. |
Org. Station |
This field is provided to identify the original stationing point and is generally recorded in feet. Stationing does not necessarily reflect the location of the Reference Post. This is a numeric field designed for linear referencing. |
Curr Station |
This read-only field is used by the system to reflect changes from the original stationing point. Changes are recorded in the associated Roads record when a road is contracted or expanded. If changes have been made and are not yet reflected in these fields, you may need to run the "Update Stationing" Toolkit function in the Roads module. Follow the link for additional information. |
Note: A tutorial movie demonstrating the links from the ROW modules to the Subsegment and Supersegments is available.
