Average Travel Time to Nearest Hospital by Car During AM Peak in Australia

Australian geospatial data representing average weekday transport performance during the morning peak period (7am to 9am). The layer was created by Infrastructure Australia as part of strategic transport modelling for the 2019 Australian Infrastructure Audit. It focuses on travel time to the nearest hospital by car.

Use Cases

• Modeling healthcare accessibility based on travel time during peak congestion.
• Analyzing urban transport performance based on average weekday AM peak data.
• Planning infrastructure investment based on strategic transport modelling outputs.
• Visualizing spatial inequality in access to emergency services based on travel time.

Strengths

• Data is part of a formal national infrastructure audit (Australian Infrastructure Audit 2019).
• Specific temporal context is provided (average weekday, AM peak 7am to 9am).
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats (GEOJSON, SHP, WFS, WMS).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Freshness should be verified; last metadata update was 2026-04-04.
