• Country Road Inventory Data

This project seeks to bridge information from national road inventory systems with road network geometries from OpenStreetMap. This would allow using the authoritative attributes present in road inventory systems to assign road quality attributes to geo-referenced road network features. This enables accurate calculation of UN SDG 9.1.1

This project is focused on extracting road segments from OpenStreetMap given high level description like:

• RN-01 between SALCAJA and QUETZALTENANGO with length of 7.05 KM in Guatemala
• RD-ZAC-03-01 from ZACAPA until intersection with CA-10 with length of 1.9 KM in Guatemala

Project assume the following:

• Process is only possible if relevant geometries are present in OSM
• Not all road segments may be extracted
• Exact start/end position may need manual adjustment at later time
