- Description:
-
- Abstract:
-
FRA Grade Crossings is a spatial file that originates from the National Highway-Rail Crossing, Inventory Program. The program is to provide information to Federal, State, and local governments, as well as the railroad industry for the improvements of safety at highway-rail crossing. This is an update to the rail_xing_2014 layer.
- Purpose:
-
Rail Crossings is a spatial file maintained by the Federal
Railroad Administration (FRA) for use by States and
Railroads.
- Supplemental_Information:
-
Highway-railroad grade crossings are intersections where a highway crosses a
railroad at-grade. Grade crossings may be public or private. Public grade
crossings are roadways that are under the jurisdiction of, and maintained by, a
public authority. Private grade crossings are on roadways privately owned, such
as on a farm or industrial area, and is intended for use by the owner or by the
owner's licensees and invitees.
The National Transportation Atlas Database is a set of nationwide geographic
databases of transportation facilities, transportation networks, and associated
infrastructure. These datasets include spatial information for transportation
modal networks and intermodal terminals, as well as the related attribute
information for these features. Metadata documentation, as prescribed by the
Federal Geographic Data Committee, is also provided for each database. The
data support research, analysis, and decision-making across all modes of
transportation. They are most useful at the national level, but have major
applications at regional, state, and local scales throughout the transportation
community.

-
- Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
-
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within
the original data.
- Logical_Consistency_Report:
-
The quality of the inventory can vary because a record of grade crossing
location is being maintained by each state and railroad that is responsible
for maintaining its respective information.

- Process_Description:
-
In 2015 GeoPlan obtained the data from the Bureau of
Transportation Statistics (BTS) in CDROM format. The data
was in the following geographical coordinate system:
WGS 1984 Datum, Units: Degrees. During the QA/QC process
GeoPlan performed the following tasks.
- Extracted features where "STATECODE" = '12' to select features
in Florida. Deleted one record that fell outside the Florida state extent.
- When checking 2015 metadata for date, no date was found.
Opened text file associated with rr_crossings.shp and found date of
June 2015 at the end of the text file.
- The original shapefile was projected in GCS_WGS_1984. Reprojected the
shapefile to Albers Conical Equal Area (fgdl_square) using the
WGS_1984_(ITRF00)_To_NAD_1983 + NAD_1983_To_HARN_Florida
transformation.
- Added DESCRIPT field and populated it based on STREET
- Added FGDLAQDATE field and populated it based on the date
GeoPlan received the data
- Restructured table by reducing field lengths to better suit data.
- Uppercased all fields
NOTE: Found that the margin of error was higher than 0.005
between 2015 and 2014 shapefiles because GeoPlan switched
transformation methods in January of 2015. Tested this by
transforming original 2015 data using the old transformation method
and comparing it to the 2014 ETAT shapefile. Future transformation
of this data should line up with the newest transformation.

The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data
compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from
the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is
collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources)
who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in
FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the
data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees
about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check
with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.
Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'.
The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties
or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data
provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability
of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited
to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular
purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using,
modifying, contributing or distributing the materials.
A note about data scale:
Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets
are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes.
Please be sure you are using the best available data.
1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
county level.
1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such
as property parcel boundaries.
1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
multi-county or regional level.
1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
regional or state level or larger.
Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be
considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data
before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been
made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional
information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact
section of this documentation. For more information regarding
scale and accuracy, see our webpage at:
