Select a Section

View detailed information and Layer data​

A Section is an individual asset length in your Network. It typically represents an uninterrupted stretch of highway.

When you navigate the map at Network Level, only summary data is displayed. When you zoom in and select a Section, you can view its information and any Layer data items located on it. If available, you can view graphing and imagery data for the Section. Use deep links to share specific Section views with colleagues.

Select a Section​

To select a Section on the map:

  1. Enter Interaction Level:

    • Zoom into the map until Sections become hoverable.

    • Use the Interaction tool in the bottom-right corner.

    • Perform a search and choose a result.

  2. Hover over a Section to highlight its full length. Select it at the point you want to examine.

  3. If the Section is over 2000 m, a 1000 m segment is selected automatically (up to 500 m either side of your selection). This is indicated by black circles. Drag them to adjust the active segment.

The Explorer toolbar updates to show the total number of available data sources. The Section toolbar appears with key details about the Section. Green and red circles mark where the Section starts and ends on the map.

Explore Section data​

The Section toolbar displays the label and chainage of the active Section. The chainage updates as you hover along the Section. To get the coordinates of any location, select Get coordinates and then the location.

Layer data items​

If the active Layers contain any data for the active Section, those data items are rendered on the map according to their geometry. An item may appear as a point, line or polygon along the Section length, offset from the centreline.

Items can represent any type of data, such as:

  • linear assets, e.g. carriageways, footways, kerbs

  • non-linear assets, e.g. street lights, gullies, signs

  • survey measurements, e.g. SCANNER, Deflectograph, CVI

  • condition metrics, e.g. PAS 2161, RCI

  • statistical data, e.g. accident records, traffic flow

  • generated Treatment schemes

By default, item pop-outs are shown. For each item, a connected pop-out icon appears, with the short code and colour of the corresponding Layer Style. Pop-outs make it easier to identify and select items without having to zoom in. Hover over a pop-out to highlight the linked item.

If a Layer has multiple items at the same location on the Section, they share a single pop-out with a red number badge. Select the badge to reveal the individual pop-outs, which you can then hover over and select.
