Abstract:

Workshop Session 6 began with the presentation of two papers on location referencing systems. This was followed by a panel discussion and the presentation of a third paper. Location referencing covers two subjects: location referencing method - the use of a set of field procedures to identify the location of any point; and location referencing system (LRS) - the use of a set of procedures to manage location referencing. The objective of an LRS is to designate the geographic position of specific locations on and off the highway. There are three types of LRSs: geodetic, which is based on latitude and longitude; geographic, which is based on mapping; and linear, which is based on locating by milepost or other linear measuring device.
