Government Service Catalog, the team gained access
to a collection of layers that could be used to publish
feature layers in their ArcGIS organization and deploy a
series of ArcGIS for Local Government solutions. They
made modifications to the data model to meet the City's
specific needs, such as including asset details, inspection
and maintenance information, Pavement Distress Index,
incident/observation reporting, transit details and more.
What makes Esri technology more effective when it
comes to managing roads and highways?
It's the linear referencing system.
Esri Roads and Highways is based on an advanced
linear referencing system (ALRS) method, which uses
positions and locations to reference assets along a route.
Locations are relative to the length of the route and may
change positionally when the route changes, whereas
positions are discrete points on the ground and have no
direct relationship to a route. This innovative and highly
efficient solution allows government
departments to integrate data from
multiple linear referencing system
networks to get a comprehensive
view of their roadways.
The ease of visualizing and
maintaining road networks, creating
transparency and eliminating
silos go a long way in optimizing
available assets in any community –
something that the City of Penticton
wanted to achieve for effective asset
management.
"After reviewing the different
approaches for managing road
information, we found that Esri's
Roads and Highways, based on Web
GIS, is able to record information
at a finer level of detail without
the need for complex editing
of geometries. Its simpler and
