Background

State Departments of Transportation commonly use an LRS for identifying the locations of features, events, and activities along a transportation network. Caltrans maintains an LRS for the State Highway System (SHS) and is developing an LRS for all functionally classified roads that are not part of the SHS. The Plan will take into account all current LRS activities or projects within the Division of Research, Innovation and System Information (DRISI), including but not limited to, On-system (State Highway System) LRS, Off-system (All Local Roads) LRS project, meeting federal reporting mandates, and other LRS activities/projects that may have an impact. It will also consider all LRS-related business needs (beyond DRISI) for Caltrans. The System Development Plan will be the foundation to meet the business demands for Caltrans’ future LRS development.

Objectives

The primary purpose of this project is to develop a “Linear Referencing System (LRS) System Development Plan” (Plan) to document Caltrans’ LRS-related business requirements and prioritize future LRS system improvements. In order to meet this purpose, the Plan must be comprehensive in scope, must enable the LRS to meet current and future department-wide LRS-related business needs, must take into account any requirements related to interoperability between existing or planned Caltrans applications and the LRS, must consider spatial data collaboration and sharing between Caltrans and its partners, and must address meeting current federal/state/Caltrans reporting requirements all while still allowing for agile LRS development in the face of changing transportation legislation or other new mandates. The secondary purpose of this project is to complete an assessment of the State of California’s anticipated LRS requirements (on a high level) and ensure that what gets incorporated under Caltrans’ business requirements does not prevent the implementation of these statewide requirements at a future date.
