Model Inventory of Roadway Elements – MIRE, Version 1.0

11. End Point Segment Descriptor

Definition: Location information defining the location of the end of the the segment.

Attributes: End point will be defined by the user agency (e.g., based on homogeneity of chosen attributes throughout the segment). End point segment descriptors can be either related to a Linear Reference System (e.g., Route-beginning milepoint, Route-ending milepoint) or to a spatial data system (i.e., longitude/latitude for begin and end points). Street address could also possibly be used for urban areas. The descriptor-types used must be common across all MIRE files and compatible with crash data location coding.

Priority: Critical

HPMS/Tool Requirements: HPMS (Full Extent), HSM/IHSDM (Required), SafetyAnalyst (Required)
