The location information can vary depending on the asset type e.g.
Roads – Markers e.g. mileposts/kilometerposts, lane, direction, offsets, bridges, tunnels,
signs etc.
Rail – Mile or chain markers, track number, offset, switch, crossings, signals etc.
Pipeline – Kilometer Point, compressor stations, valves, pig stations etc.
Transmission Lines – substations, traces
The linear aspect has to be reflected in:
Inspections
Condition
Maintenance and Repair
Linear Assets need to managed as a continuous asset with dynamic segmentation
A special type of asset which has an associated length dimension; this dimension
is represented by means of start points and end points or by specifying the asset
length
Configuration has the complexity that components (or features) can be “installed”
along its length
Attributes can change frequently along its length
Typically connected with other linear assets to represent an infrastructure network
or route
Subject to dynamic segmentation; multiple sets of attributes can be associated
with any portion of an existing linear feature independently of where it begins or
ends
Require a linear referencing method as a mean to describe and locate a position
along its length
Permanent referencing locations (markers or referencing locations) plus offsets are
used as reference to describe the exact position along the linear asset

Unit of Measure (UOM) Unit of measure of the Linear Asset Miles, Kilometers etc.
Distance From Start Marker Offset from Start Marker Distance Value in UOM
Distance From End Marker Offset from End Marker Distance Value in UOM
Unit of Measure (UOM) Unit of Measure for Marker Offset Yards, Meters
Distances
Offset 1 Perpendicular Reference center line Typically Perpendicular Offset e.g.
right margin right angles to center line
left margin
Unit of Measure (UOM) Unit of measure of the offset Yards, Meters; Degrees
Offset 2 Vertical Reference center line Typically Vertical Offset
ground level
tunnel roof
Unit of Measure (UOM) Unit of measure of the offset Yards, Meters
Both functional locations and equipment can be linear assets. The customizing of
the category will indicate that functional locations and equipments are linear assets.
For these LAM categories the Linear Data Fields can be maintained in the master
data in a separate tab (subject to customizing).
If point-oriented (discrete) assets are managed within LAM e.g. posts, road signs it
is only necessary to maintain the start point.
For linear objects the length maintained is not checked against the difference
between starting and end point. There are several cases that this data does not
coincide e.g. so called “short miles”
4,62m
0,80 km
4,75m
2,15m
4,60 km
For linear assets the valuation of characteristics has been enhanced with the Linear
Data Fields. The characteristic allows a multiple valuation so that each value can be
limited in location and extension.
Examples:
Surface: h3 from x3 to y3
h4 from x4 to y4
6. Well-known Equipment
MP4
MP3
MP2
MP1
Fields for Relative Referencing will be enabled through F4-Help in the Start and End Point as
well as Marker fields.
St.Marker Marker point or Well Know Location Mile Post, Mile Point, Meter Post,
Reference Point
Dist. St. M. Distance From Start Marker Numeric Value - : negative number is distance form closest
“up” Marker.
End Marker Marker point or Well Known Location Mile Post, Mile Point, Meter Post,
Reference location
Dist End Marker Distance from End Marker Numeric Value - : negative number is distance form closest
“up” Marker.

In Work Orders the Linear Data Fields are on the level of the header and on the level of the
operations.
On the header level the Linear Data Fields allows to define for the reference object where
exactly the work has to start and/or end and what is the extension/length of the work. This
allows also to get information about the costs (planned/actual) per unit of length.
On the level of operations the Linear Data Fields allows (in addition to the information on
header level) to describe in more detail where each of the activities has to be performed.
If the work order is performed for several assets they will be listed in the object list on the
header level. If work is performed especially for one of these assets this one can be assigned
to an operation. In this case the Linear Data Fields allows to specify the work
location/extension particular for this assigned asset on operation level.
The following objects have been enhanced with the Linear Data Fields.
Work Order Header
Work Order Operation
Work Order Confirmations
Maintenance Plan Item
Relevant List Reports
Notification Header
Notification Item
Measurement Point / Counter
Measurement Document
Define default settings in the Customizing activity Define Default Rules for Linear Data in

List Reports
Functional Locations, Equipment, Notifications, Orders, Confirmations,
Measuring Points, Measuring Documents, Maintenance Plan Items,
Multi-Level List Reports

There are various selection parameters available to search for objects with linear data
including range or segment, LRP ID, Start and/or End Point etc. These selection parameters
are consistent across all the list reports.
