The Linear Reference System (LRS) is a system where features (points or segments) are localised by a measure along a linear element.

The LRS is suitable for management of data related to linear features like roads, railways and rivers. It is particularly important for network registers (e.g. roads) and traffic related studies (e.g. traffic accident studies).
