Use Cases

• Analyze transport network accessibility based on railway line and station locations.
• Create contextual basemaps for regional planning using the geospatial railway features.
• Assess the completeness of railway infrastructure mapping in urban versus remote areas.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Derived from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map built by volunteers.
• Explicitly includes rail lines, tram tracks, and stations.

Limitations
