DESCRIPTION

       v.lrs.create generates a LRS (Linear Reference System) from vector line and point data.

       It  is  highly  recommended  to work with polylines instead of segmented vector lines. The
       command v.build.polylines creates this map structure.

NOTES

       The mileposts (point) vector map columns start_mp, start_off, end_mp, end_off must  be  of
       ’double  precision’  type.  For  milepost  ordering,  it is sufficient to enter increasing
       numbers into the start_mp column indicating the order along the vector line.

       The lidcol and pidcol columns contain the line  IDs  which  relate  mileposts  and  vector
       line(s) to each other.

       When creating a LRS with this module, any existing rstable will be replaced.

EXAMPLE

       This example is written for the Spearfish dataset.

       As first step, bus route data are prepared.
       # break into segments for correct route selection
       v.clean roads_net out=busroute_tmp tool=break
       # make polyline for easier line selection by coordinate pairs
       v.build.polylines busroute_tmp out=busroute_tmp2
       # reverse delete: reduce route map to bus route (enter in one line)
       v.edit -r busroute_tmp2 tool=delete coords=590273,4927304,\
       590346,4927246,590414,4927210,590438,4927096,590468,4926966,\
       590491,4926848,590566,4926798,590637,4926753,590701,4926698,\
       590830,4926726,590935,4926751,590993,4926830,590972,4926949,\
       590948,4927066,590922,4927182,590957,4927251 threshold=5
       # vector line needs to be polyline
       v.build.polylines busroute_tmp2 out=busroute_tmp3
       v.category busroute_tmp3 out=busroute op=add
       g.remove -f type=vector name=busroute_tmp,busroute_tmp2,busroute_tmp3
       The result can be visualized:
       g.region vector=busroute n=n+100 s=s-100 w=w-100 e=e+100
       d.mon x0
       d.vect roads_net
       d.vect busroute col=red width=2
       The  vector  map  ’busroute’ needs have an attribute table which contain an integer column
       lidcol with value be ’22’ for this example (bus route):
       v.db.addtable busroute col="lid integer"
       v.db.update busroute col=lid value=22
       v.db.select busroute
       cat|lid
       1|22
       A new point map ’busstops’ shall contain mileposts (bus stops) along this line (use thresh
       to define maximal accepted deviation from this line):
       # generate points map
       echo "590263|4927361
       590432|4927120
       590505|4926776
       590660|4926687
       590905|4926742
       590972|4926949
       591019|4927263" | v.in.ascii out=busstops
       d.vect busstops icon=basic/triangle col=blue
       d.vect busstops disp=cat lcol=blue
       The milepost attributes table needs to be created with specific columns:
       v.db.addtable busstops col="lid integer, start_mp double precision, \
                   start_off double precision, end_mp double precision, \
                   end_off double precision"
       v.db.update busstops col=lid value=22
       Since  the  digitizing  order  of  v.in.ascii  above reflects the bus stop order along the
       route, we can simply copy the category number as milepost order number in column start_mp:
       v.db.update busstops col=start_mp qcol=cat
       # verify table
       v.db.select busstops
       cat|lid|start_mp|start_off|end_mp|end_off
       1|22|1|||
       2|22|2|||
       3|22|3|||
       4|22|4|||
       5|22|5|||
       6|22|6|||
       7|22|7|||
       # visualize with start_mp to check order
       d.erase
       d.vect roads_net
       d.vect busroute col=red width=2
       d.vect busstops icon=basic/triangle col=blue
       d.vect busstops disp=attr attrcol=start_mp lcol=blue
       Offsets (start_off, end_off) can be  later  used  in  case  the  route  or  mileposts  get
       modified.

       As second step, the linear reference network is created:
       v.lrs.create busroute points=busstops out=route_lrs err=lrs_error \
                    lidcol=lid pidcol=lid rstable=route_lrs threshold=50
       This creates the maps ’route_lrs’ containing the LRS and ’lrs_error’ containing the errors
       if any. The resulting LRS table and map can be shown:
       # show LRS table
       db.select table=route_lrs
       d.vect route_lrs col=blue width=2
