point eventSee event. polygonA coverage feature class used to represent areas. A polygon is defined by the arcs that make up its boundary and a point inside its boundary for identification.
point event In linear referencing, a feature that occurs at a precise point location along a route and uses a single measure value.
A point event occurs at a point along a route, for example, an accident at milepost 6.3 on route I-10. In ArcInfo, an event is defined in terms of a route and measures along the route. See also route-system.
linear locations of point events and linear events can be specified, then mathematical methods for analysis of systems of redundant spatial measurements can be used to develop alternative scenarios encompassing the design questions.
Complete spatial randomness (CSR) describes a point process whereby point events occur within a given study area in a completely random fashion. Such a process is often modeled using only one parameter, i.e.
You just made a copy of the CFR polygon data, added X and Y coordinates to its table, created point events from those coordinates, and finally created a new point data set from the point events. Selecting points near a line (2 methods) ...
combines event records in tables where there are events on the same route that have the same value for specified fields. The Dissolve Route Events tool combines events when there is measure overlap, and is available for both line and point event ...
that are obtained from attribute tables of events for which distance measures are available. Both point and linear events can be located on routes; lane closure is an example of a linear event and the accident location is an example of a point event.
