Preferred term

linear referencing and dynamic segmentation  

Definition

  • Dynamic segmentation is a computer-based database management system using the principles of relational algebra and topological integrity to minimize error and maximize efficiency of map analysis and display. Linear features are stored as nodes and arcs and provide only the minimum of geometric properties for proper display on maps.
