1 Mile Marker Signs and the Linear Referencing System David DiNocco Transportation Planner Massachusetts Department of Transportation

2 Agenda 2 Introduction MA Road Inventory Database Why Replace Mile Markers? Existing Mile Markers Mile Marker Process In House Mile Marker Installation in the Field After Installation Current Plans Future Plans FAQs Questions

3 Mile Marker Signs Milestone 3 Modern Sign

4 4 MA Road Inventory Database Background Past Documents Physical maps CAD drawings ArcInfo files Recent Past ArcGIS SDE Database Measures derived from historic data Measures derived from database Current and Future ArcGIS SDE Database Measures derived from mile markers in the field

5 MA Road Inventory Database Background 5 Record of: Functional Class Ownership Federal-Aid Eligibility Official Mileage Roadway Physical Attributes

6 MA Road Inventory Database Background Physical Road Description 6

7 MA Road Inventory Database Background 7 Linear Referencing Systems Follows roadway direction Follows primary direction (NB/EB)

8 MA Road Inventory Database Background 8 Linear Referencing Methods Follows roadway direction ARAN vehicle data (pavement) Primary and opposing directions measured separately Does not match milepost signs

9 Initial Mile Points: Follow Direction of Travel 9

10 MA Road Inventory Database Background 10 Linear Referencing Methods Follows primary direction (NB/EB) Both sides of road in sync Matches milepost signs Provides maximum measure of the route

11 Equation Mile Markers: Both Sides of Road Match 11 Mile Marker Equation

12 Why Replace Mile Markers? 12 Essential to MassDOT maintenance needs Essential to Public Safety State Police Enhanced 911 Program

13 Existing Mile Markers 13 Inaccurate In disrepair Not tied to the Road Inventory Database

14 Mile Marker Process in 14 Initial Mile Points House Database derived Mile Points Mile Points based on direction of travel Equation Mile Points Mile Points are the same on both sides of the road Mile Point values are adjusted where roads diverge and come back together Include GPS Coordinates

15 15 Mile Marker Installation in the Field Initial Coordinates Maps and spreadsheets Field Installation Contractor installed mile marker signs Final GPS Coordinates Added to the database to create a new LRS

16 Spreadsheets 16 Spreadsheet of initial GPS coordinates sent to contractor

17 Maps 17

18 Survey Results Survey from the contractor 18

19 After Installation 19 Three LRS Available Follows roadway direction Segment Based (Shape Length) Historic Data Based Follows primary direction (NB/EB) Mile Marker Based

20 After Installation 20 Maintenance can be recorded properly in the database Assistance can be provided at the precise location of an incident

21 Mile Marker LRS 21

22 Data Process 22 Road Segments Event tables Roadway LRS Mile Markers Mile Marker LRS Road Inventory Flat File
