Effortless Address Point Associations: A Better Approach

QC rules that apply to an address point not matching a corresponding road centerline can be challenging to correct. However, we’ve simplified this task in GIVE and with two quality control rules that relate to this problem. The first rule concerns the relationship between address points and their corresponding road centerlines and is specific to Enhanced 9-1-1 systems, while the other pertains to attribution relevant to Next Generation.

GIVE’s Address Association Wizard requires little effort on the part of the user, and issues can be resolved on a per-case basis or in groups.

A fishbone layer visually describes the relationship between a given address point and road centerline feature. Fishbones are created through an administrative function and typically only need to be generated one time. Once built, the fishbone layer is incrementally maintained by the system as updates and additions are made to the road centerline and address point layers.

GIVE's unique approach to this problem eliminates the need to visually compare the attributes of an address point to locate the offending attribute(s). Simply review the road centerline record for accuracy and completeness and re-associate its corresponding address points as needed.

Attributes in an address point record used to establish the fishbone relationship are not directly editable, as they must be inherited from an RCL feature. This drastically reduces the time needed to assess these issues, eliminates the manual data entry required to correct the condition, and mitigates the risk of not fully correcting the problem.
