Route Validation Against Constraints

Check proposed routes against regulatory, environmental, and utility constraints and flag what fails.

What It Does

The agent runs the proposed route against your right-of-way records, environmental constraint data, and utility records, and returns each failure with the rule it breaks and the point on the route where it breaks. An engineer resolves the flags, and every check is logged.Without it: A route can look clean on the map and still violate a setback, a right-of-way, or an existing utility. Catching it late means a redesign.

  • Logs the checks a route passes, so coverage is visible, not only failures
  • Constraint layers past their refresh date are reported stale rather than scored
  • Seasonal and time-boxed restrictions come back with their window, not a flat failure
  • Route sections outside every constraint layer are returned uncovered, not passed

Illustrative example

An engineer submits the 6.4 km Fenwick route for validation. The agent returns a 3.1 m setback at station 42+10 against a 5 m creek buffer, two crossings inside a right-of-way that lapsed in 2024, six clearances logged as passing with their margins, and the wetland layer marked stale at eleven months since refresh. The engineer works the flags and decides what to reroute before the design goes further.
