This tool is located on the RIMS section of the Road tab.

Function

The Route Corridor interface () is used to create, maintain, and remove route corridors throughout the state.

Layout

The Route Corridor interface will be divided into two tables: Route Corridors List and Routes. The Route Corridors List table will appear at the top of the interface, and it will list all current route corridors. This table will be defined by the Corridor ID, Corridor Name, Corridor Owner, and Corridor Description columns. It will also include these tools/controls:

Control	Description
Filter (textbox)	The filter textbox lies within the Corridor Name column header, and it allows the user to search for a specific corridor by name. As the user types in this field, the route corridors table will scroll so that the first corridor whose name starts with the entered text is in view.
Ellipses	Ellipses will appear on fields in the Corridor Name, Corridor Owner, and Corridor Description columns if the values are longer than one line of text. The user can click the edit icon () or the expand icon () to see the full value.
Checkbox	If the user has an edit permission, each row will have checkbox before the first column. To delete a corridor, the user can select the checkbox and then select the Delete Selected Corridors link at the bottom of the table.
Edit Route Corridor (icon, )	If the user has an edit permission, this icon will be located at the end of each row in the table. When selected, an Edit Route Corridor pop-up will be displayed, allowing the user to modify the selected corridor’s Name, Owner, and Description. Changes made within the Edit Route Corridor pop-up will be reflected in the Route Corridors List table upon selection of the Update button; the "Save Changes" button on the main screen must be selected to apply the changes to the database.
Expand (icon, )	For users who only have the "Edit Route Corridor Segments" permission, this icon will be located at the end of each row in the table. This allows the user to display this "Edit Route Corridor" pop-up in read only format.
Delete Selected Corridors (link)	If the user has an edit permission, this link allows them to remove all corridors whose checkbox is selected. Once the link is selected, the user must confirm the deletion before the selected corridors are removed from display in the corridors table and from the database.
Add New Corridor (link)	If the user has an edit permission, this link allows them to create a new corridor. When selected, an Add Route Corridor pop-up will be displayed, allowing the user to enter a Name, Owner, and Description for the new corridor. All three fields are required, and the Name cannot be a duplicate of an existing Route Corridor. Changes made within the Add Route Corridor pop-up will be reflected in the Route Corridors Lists table upon selection of the Add button; the "Save Changes" button on the main screen must be selected to apply the new route corridor to the database.

The Routes table (bottom) will be populated if the user selects a row in the Route Corridors List table. The Routes table lists all route segments in the currently selected route corridor, ordered by Segment Order ascending. This table will be defined by the County, Route Type, Route Number, Route Auxiliary, Route Direction, From, To, Segment Length, and Segment Order columns. Only the From and To measures are modifiable in this table for each segment. The table will include these tools/controls:

Control	Description
Checkbox	This checkbox is located at the start of each row in the table. To delete a route segment, the user can select the checkbox and then select the Delete Selected Route Segments link at the bottom of the table.
Delete Selected Route Segments (link)	This link allows the user to remove all route segments whose checkbox is selected. Once the link is selected, the user must confirm the deletion before the selected route segments will be removed from display in the corridors table; the "Save Changes" button must be selected to apply the deletion to the database.
Add Route Segments (link)	This link allows the user to add a new route segment to the selected route corridor. When selected, an Add Route Segment pop-up will be displayed, allowing  the user to specify the route segment to add to the corridor (County, Route Type, Route Number, Auxiliary, Direction, From, and To). Values are required for all fields in the pop-up. Then, the new segment can be saved by selecting the "Add Segment" button which places it in the Routes table under the previously selected segment. The "Save Changes" button on the main screen must be selected to apply the new route segment to the database.
Export Route Segments (link)	This link allows the user to export all segments in the selected route corridor to a CSV file. The routes will be ordered in the generated export file by the  Segment Order value, so the contents of the file will match the order of the segments in the interface.  The format of the generated export CSV file is defined  as follows, where each row is a unique segment within the corridor: <Route Segment LRS>,<Route Segment BMP>,<Route Segment EMP>. (NOTE: The file format for "Export Route Segments" is the same as the "Import Route Segments", allowing the user to export all route segments for a corridor, make changes as necessary, then import the corridor’s complete set of route segments back in.)
Import Route Segments (link)	This link allows the user to replace all segments in the selected route corridor with segments from a CSV file. This link will open a pop-up to specify the import CSV file through the user's File Explorer. The format of the import CSV file is defined as follows, where each row is a unique segment within the  corridor: <Route Segment LRS>,<Route Segment BMP>,<Route Segment EMP>. During the route segments import each route segment record will be validated to ensure the following conditions are true.  The Route LRS must be a valid route. The To Measure must be greater than the From Measure.  The From and To Measure must be valid dominant measures on the specified route. The route segment must be valid and dominant across the full segment length. If a route segment does not meet all these conditions, the segment will not be imported. At the completion of the import, a message will be displayed, providing the user with the number of failed segments which will then be downloaded in a CSV file for review/editing. Once these segments are fixed in the original import CSV file, the import can be run again.
Map Corridor (link)	This link maps the selected route corridor’s route segments on the Inventory Manager map.
Export to Excel (link)	This link creates an Excel file containing all route segments for the selected corridor. The generated file will contain all columns from the interface (including Route LRS).
Sort by LRS (link)	This link allows the user to set the order of all routes in the corridor by County, Route Type, Route Number, and Route Auxiliary. When selected, the Routes table will be sorted by ascending County, highest order Route Type (I-, US, SC, S-, etc.), and ascending Route Number and Auxiliary.
Arrows (icons; , , , )	These arrows/buttons allow the location of a single selected route segment to be modified within the corridor. The user can move the segment to the top (), up one position (), down one position (), or to the bottom (). As the route segment is moved, the values in the Segment Order column will be automatically updated to reflect the order of all the segments.

Below the Routes table, the user can solidify any changes made in the interface (Save Changes button) or discard them (Discard Changes button). Within this interface the user will work with one route corridor at a time. If the currently selected route corridor has unsaved changes, then a user will not be able to edit the details of another route corridor or add a new route corridor until the changes to the current route corridor are saved or discarded.

Route Corridor Mapping

While a Route Corridor can be mapped from the Route Corridor interface, the user can also map it from the Find Segments section of the Map tab.

Once this tool is selected, a pop-up will appear below the Map tab ribbon to allow the user to define a Route Corridor map query. The Corridor picklist here will contain entries for all defined Route Corridors with one or more associated route segments. Additionally, fields are provided to filter the selected corridor’s routes by a district, county, and LRS route options (Route Type, Route Number, Auxiliary, and Direction). After at least a Corridor is defined, the "Find" button can be selected to map all the route segments in the specified corridor/location and to display a table listing of all located corridor route segments in a pop-up window, ordered by the Segment Number column. Selecting a mapped segment will highlight the associated segment in the table and scroll the table so the segment is in view; selecting a row in the table will highlight and zoom into the segment on the map. The user can also hover over a mapped segment to display its map pop-up.
