Introducing Street Smart’s LRS SmartFilter Configuration

Improved Route Display

Since the first collection in 2021, TDOT’s Route Identifier (ID_NUMBER) and Logmile have been displayed in the Street Smart image panel. The 2024 collection has been updated to display TDOT’s new Roads & Highways Route ID, along with additional details.

In this example along I-40, earlier collections display the location using “18I0040001 + (5.30)”, indicating the route ID_NUMBER, positive direction of travel and logmile. Beginning with images collected in 2024, the route information box will include:

• TDOT’s new 15-digit route identifier
• Direction of vehicle travel 
• County name and readable route name
• Logmile

All routes in the state are not collected every year. In 2024, all Interstates, State Routes and other NHS routes in regions 1 and 2 were collected. In regions 3 and 4, only Interstates and fully access controlled State Routes were collected. For those routes in regions 3 and 4 which were not collected in 2024, the older route information will still display.

Easier Route Location Searches

The Route search now provides easy-to-use filters to make finding a route location fast and simple. 

As you select from the filters, results will begin to display in the dropdown. The additional details displayed in the search results list make it easy for users to find the correct route from the list.  When no logmile is entered, the search results will look for the logmile closest to 0. Users may enter a logmile to find an exact location quickly. 

The new search filters support TDOT’s new route identifier and can be used to find locations along routes collected on or after 2024, when TDOT’s new Route Identifier was introduced. 

The filters do not include results for routes which were not part of the 2024 collection, but those missing routes will be supported when the 2025 collection is complete. 

How do I export my measurements?

To save measurements, open the dashboard to view the Recent list. You can collapse and expand the dashboard using the blue arrow.

This list shows searches, saved measurements and other locations. You can filter the list to show only measurements by selecting Show All > Measurements. Once the list is filtered, click the checkbox at the top to select all measurements in the list, or select only the ones you wish to save.

Then, use the Export Selected > Measurements as JSON option. This will download a text file to your downloads folder. 

How do I switch to the new configuration right away?

To  begin using the new improvements immediately, you only have to change your configuration setting. To make this change, click on the user icon in the upper right corner and select the Settings option.

On the Settings dialog, select the LRS – SmartFilter option from the Configuration dropdown. 

Be sure to click the Apply button at the bottom. Your browser tab will refresh to load the new Street Smart configuration. With the new configuration, all settings revert to the defaults.

How do I get my measurements back?

To import the measurements exported from your previous configuration, expand the dashboard by clicking the arrow along the bottom of the interface. Select the Upload—Measurements from JSON menu option, then browse for your previously exported JSON file. This file is typically saved in the Downloads folder with a name like ‘EPSG_2274_measurement_bundle_5-3-2025.json’.

How do I set my map to the correct start location?

With the new configuration, all settings revert to the defaults, including your map start location. To set the start location for your map, zoom and/or pan to display the map area you would like to use for the default. Next, select the Display icon in the upper right corner of the map.

From the popup menu, select the Use Current View button to use the current map view as your start location

Where can I find the new route search filters?

To display the search filters, select the Route search type from the list. 

Next, click the gear icon, and select Tennessee from the list of states. This will update the display with the correct filters. Street Smart will “remember” this setting, so it only has to be selected one time.
