Dear FME

I want to connect
a series of points that follow a certain road alignment.

I have a
set of point data that are snapped to a road alignment. The point data were
registered by different equipment several times in a year. Unfortunately, the point
data do not distinguish between different equipment. However, there are two
registered dates for each point data that follow the from-to principle. I used
these dates to find the sequence and then use them to connect the related
points to each other.

Even though
I was able to create convex from the related points, the built convex were linearly
connected.

What I
would like to attain is to find a method that can link the points based on the
road alignment.

I gave the point-to-line-overlay transformer a try, but it was not successful! I think the problem was basically
because of not having attributes that could be used for grouping!

If that was the case, does anyone know how I
should assign an ID counter for the features that fulfill a certain criteria in
the FeatureMerger transformer?
