Road Network for Bosnia and Herzegovina from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports provide a road network across Bosnia and Herzegovina, including motorways, residential streets, service roads, footways, and trails. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) compiled this data, last updated on 2026-05-14. 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 comprehensive highway network.
• Analyze regional accessibility for vulnerable populations based on road types and connectivity.
• Plan evacuation scenarios and identify critical infrastructure gaps based on the mapped road hierarchy.
• Integrate road geometry into larger geospatial models for transportation or land-use planning.

Strengths

• Includes all OpenStreetMap features tagged with `highway`, from motorways to trails.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats (GEOPACKAGE, SHP, JSON) for interoperability.
• Data is licensed under the Open Database License (ODbL-1.0), allowing for sharing and adaptation.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Completeness varies by region, with remote areas likely less complete than urban centers.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale projects.
