Vicmap Lite - Railway Line - 1:250,000 to 1:5,000,000

dataset: VMLITE_TR_RAIL
This layer is part of Vicmap Lite and contains line features delineating railway features. Vicmap Lite datasets are suited for use between scales of 1: 250,000 and 1 : 5 million. The linework was sourced from Vicmap Transport. The level of attribute information, the number of features and the number of vertices has been simplified to suit the 1: 250,000 - 1 : 5 million scale range. The concept of a Scale Use Code has been introduced to help control the level of detail displayed. THIS DATASET WAS LAST UPDATED IN OCTOBER 2021

The source line work was generalised using an enhanced Douglas and Peucker simplification algorithm. The algorithm keeps so-called critical points that depict the essential shape of a line and removes all other points. The algorithm connects the end nodes of an arc with a "trend line". The distance of each vertex to the trend line is measured perpendicularly. Vertices closer to the line than the tolerance are eliminated. A 30m tolerance was used on this dataset 
 

Lineage

Description
Level of detail reduced to suit 1:250,000 - 1:5 million scale range. Redundant attributes removed, Scale Use Code attribute added and populated. Number of verticies reduced using an enhanced Douglas and Peucker simplification algorithm.
