Challenge
Aurizon Network required a linear referencing system to efficiently manage their linear assets. However, their current custom-built Linear Reference Model was a manual process and relied on personnel experience, leading to unreliable results and making it difficult to prioritize work and review historic work effectiveness.
Solution
The procurement of the ArcGIS Roads and Highways Extension from ESRI provided Aurizon Network with a robust linear referencing solution. This allowed the GIS team to update linear reference information using one platform, with clear processes and procedures to follow. It improved technical work activities, asset life, safety, reliability, and ROI.
Outcomes
- The ArcGIS Roads and Highways Extension enabled Aurizon Network to integrate their linear referencing data into a common geographic basis, enabling better prioritization of work and improved data maintenance and version control.
- The extension was implemented seamlessly into the existing Aurizon GIS system, improving Aurizon WebMap capability and allowing for data updates to be controlled automatically.
- The solution demonstrated competence to operate and improved trust in the system's ability to manage linear assets effectively
