COMPATIBILITY FILE: AN INFORMATION RETRIEVAL SYSTEM
THE COMPATIBILITY FILE SERVES AS AN INTERFACE BETWEEN THE TRANSPORTATION PLANNING NETWORK FILES AND OTHER DATA FILES THAT ARE REFERENCED BY ROUTE NUMBER AND CUMULATIVE MILEAGE. THE FUNDAMENTAL PURPOSE OF THE FILE IS TO IDENTIFY, BY ROUTE NUMBER, EACH OF THE HIGHWAY SEGMENTS CONTAINED IN THE TRANSPORTATION STUDY'S LINK FILE (HISTORICAL RECORD) AND ALSO TO IDENTIFY BY ROUTE NUMBER AND CUMULATIVE MILEAGE EACH NODE OR HIGHWAY INTERSECTION. THE COMPATIBILITY FILE WOULD THEN BE USED TO RELATE THE COMPUTERIZED TRANSPORTATION STUDY TRAFFIC NETWORKS TO THE PHYSICAL INVENTORY FILES MAINTEAINED BY THE SPECIALTY DIVISION (TRAFFIC, HIGHWAY NEEDS, PROGRAM PLANNING, AND ACCIDENT) IN A DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAY OR TRANSPORTATION. THE COMPLETED FILE NOT ONLY PROVIDES A MEANS OF DATA EXCHANGE BUT, WHEN USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH DIGITIZED NETWORKS AND A DATA PLOTTER, REPRESENTS AN EXCELLENT MEANS OF FILE EDITING AND DATA PRESENTATION. /AUTHOR/
