An overview of the Location Referencing toolbox

Roads and Highways is a data management application suite that provides an integrated framework for maintaining highway data with linear referencing systems. The Location Referencing toolbox contains tools for the configuration and management of the LRS.

Tools in the Location Referencing toolbox

Tool	Description
Append Events	Appends event records from a table, layer, or feature class to an existing ArcGIS Roads and Highways event feature class.
Calculate Route Concurrencies	Calculates and reports the concurrent route segments in an LRS Network.
Convert M-Value Units Of Measure	Converts the measure m-values of a dataset from one unit to another. The m-values of the input dataset are modified upon executing this tool.
Convert Table To CSV File	Converts a table to a CSV file.
Delete Routes	Deletes routes and associated data elements from the LRS Network.
Detect Gaps For Linear Events	Checks routes on the network for gaps between linear events.
Detect Measures Out Of Range	Checks routes on a network for out-of-range line and point event measures.
Detect NonMonotonic Routes	Checks routes for nonmonotonic calibration of the m-values on vertices. Nonmonotonic calibration occurs when a route does not contain either strictly increasing or strictly decreasing m-values on its vertices.
Detect Overlaps For Linear Events	Checks routes on the network for overlaps between linear events.
Generate Events	Regenerates shapes for event features registered with an LRS Network.
Generate Routes	Re-creates shapes and applies calibration changes for route features in an LRS Network.
Overlay Route Events	Overlays two or more linear event feature layers against a target network and outputs a feature class or event table that represents the dynamic segmentation of the inputs.
Relocate Events	Lists changes that have been made to event record measures during a period of time. External systems can use this information at regular intervals to sync to route edits in the ArcGIS Roads and Highways network.
Translate Events From LRM To LRM	Translates the measures (m-values) of events from one linear referencing method (LRM) to another. The output is a new event layer feature class.
Update Calibration Points	Builds calibration point features when an advanced linear referencing system already exists in the geodatabase.
Update Intersection Points	Generates and updates LRS intersection point features.
