Abstract

Boulder County Moves to LRS
Track: Transportation
Authors: John Mosher, Dave Watson

This presentation will detail the steps taken by the Boulder County Regional LRS Cooperative to solve the many technical and organizational challenges arising from a move to the new ESRI Linear Referencing Transportation Data Model. Project participants include Boulder County, the cities of Boulder and Longmont, and BRETSA, the regional 9-1-1 provider. The participants in this regional collaboration are working together to realize the advantages offered when multiple GIS agencies share a single editing process. These advantages include effectively reducing cost and effort by decentralizing data editing and maintenance while increasing overall accuracy and precision. These benefits flow from allowing multiple departmental subject matter experts to fully leverage the linear referencing data model and the data interoperability options it provides. This presentation will also demonstrate how participants in the Colorado Front Range are utilizing the new ESRI LRS editing tools.
