GEC working along with Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LADOTD) is responsible for gathering and adjusting data in order to develop an accurate, geo-referenced, and topologically correct public road feature class for the state of Louisiana. GEC will complete the project using a Two-Phase Approach; the first phase is a conflation of two datasets; State Maintained roads, and Non-State Maintained Roads. During this phase direction of travel is confirmed as well as positional accuracy. Road centerlines will be within one meter of positional accuracy and contain address range information. During Phase Two the data is assigned a 12 or 18-digit Linear Referencing Identification number for creating routes and dynamic segmentation. State-maintained roads are assigned the 12 digit code and non-state maintained roads are assigned the 18-digit LRS ID. FGDC-compliant metadata accompanies the deliverable in Geodatabase format. GEC uses ArcSDE to manage the geodatabase and ArcGIS to edit datasets.
