Application Level Logic
New Technology
• ALRPArcGIS Location Referencing for Pipeline
• UPDMUtility and Pipeline Data Model
What is ALRP
• Adds Linear ReferencingCapabilities to the Geodatabase
• Is a mixture of linear referencing enabled features combined with Esri software (extensions and GP tools)
• Software is being developed for the ArcGIS Pro platform

What is UPDM
• Template Data Model for Pipelines
• Capable of supporting both stationed and non-stationed pipelines
• Utilized a Geometric Network and ALRP together
• Targeted at vertically integrated utilities - (Distribution and Transmission)
CenterlinesequenceKey table for M-N relationship between Centerline and Route.
RoutesRoute definitions.
CalibrationpointsPoint feature class that stores route measures.

• Two routes
• 4 Calibration points
• 3 centerlines
The two routes above are derived from three centerline lines

Multiple Location Referencing Modescan be utilized simultaneously
Vision
Incorporate ALRP objects into the core of PODS and align Relational Model attributes with new model
