Armenia Road Network from OpenStreetMap for Routing and Analysis

OpenStreetMap's road network for Armenia includes all features tagged with 'highway', such as motorways, residential streets, and footways. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) exports this data, which was last updated on 2026-05-13. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas typically well-mapped and remote areas potentially incomplete.

Use Cases

• Calculate optimal routes for emergency response based on the network of motorways and residential streets.
• Analyze pedestrian and vehicle accessibility to services based on the inclusion of footways and service roads.
• Plan evacuation scenarios by modeling traffic flow across the complete highway hierarchy.
• Assess transportation infrastructure coverage in remote versus urban areas.

Strengths

• Covers a comprehensive hierarchy of road types, from motorways to trails, as tagged in OpenStreetMap.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and JSON.
• Data is provided under the open ODbL-1.0 license.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Completeness varies by region, with remote areas potentially incomplete.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
