OpenStreetMap road network data for Colombia, tagged with highway types such as motorways, residential streets, service roads, footways, and trails. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) provides this export in multiple geospatial formats under the ODbL license. The dataset was last updated on 2026-06-19.

Use Cases

• Calculate optimal routes for logistics based on the tagged highway network.
• Analyze accessibility to services based on the road and footway infrastructure.
• Plan evacuation routes for disaster management based on the motorway and trail data.
• Model urban mobility patterns using the residential and service road data.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, SHP, JSON, HTML).
