Major Road Networks Database with Mobility Characteristics

Dynamap/Highways v2.0 provides a subset of the Dynamap/2000 database, focusing on major road networks. The data was created by Geographic Data Technology and distributed by SCIOPS. Specific details on record count, temporal coverage, and file size are not provided.

Use Cases

• Analyze road network connectivity using data on interstates, state highways, and major local roads.
• Model traffic patterns and access by incorporating documented mobility characteristics and feeder streets.
• Assess regulatory compliance or speed zoning by referencing included speed limit data.

Strengths

• Includes multiple road types: interstates, state highways, major local roads.
• Contains specific attributes like mobility characteristics, access, and speed limits.
• Offered in multiple legacy GIS software formats for compatibility.

Limitations

• The exact number of rows, columns, and total size of the dataset is unknown.
• Data is distributed on CD-ROM, indicating it is likely outdated and not actively updated.
• As a subset of a larger database, its geographic and temporal coverage is unspecified.
