Location Tab

The Location tab has fields that record street addresses, end points, as well as locations 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 a street address, or a guard rail located at an intersection or corner.

End Point 1 and 2

These text fields allow you to include a more specific description of the asset.

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 guard rail 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

(beginning and ending)

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 posts will be displayed in the corresponding Roads record.

Org. Station

(beginning and ending)

These fields are provided to identify the original beginning and ending stationing points and are generally recorded in feet. They do not necessarily reflect the location of the Reference Posts. These are numeric fields designed for linear referencing.

Curr Station

(beginning and ending)

These read-only fields are used by the system to reflect changes from the original stationing points. 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.
