Title: CREATION OF A DIGITAL CONTROL SECTION ATLAS AT THE MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Accession Number: 00636504
Record Type: Component
Availability: American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) 444 North Capitol Street, NW Abstract: Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) maintains many inventories of data. When the data pertain to roadways and have locational references, the most common method of referring to location is by Control Section and Milepoint (CS-MP). A Control Section (CS) refers to exactly one stretch of roadway within a county. The Control Section designator is a five-digit number consisting of a two-digit county number (from an alphabetic county list), and a three-digit sequence number. The process of labelling coordinate-based road segments with CS-MP is the essential step in creating a Digital Control Section Atlas (DCSA). The DCSA has been used apart from the GIS Demonstration Projects to assign coordinates to railroad crossings which the Department must inspect regularly.
