Mongolia Road Network from OpenStreetMap for Routing and Analysis

Mongolia's road network exported from OpenStreetMap includes all features tagged with `highway`, such as motorways, residential streets, service roads, footways, and trails. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) provides this data, last updated in May 2026. OpenStreetMap is a free, collaborative world map built by volunteers, though completeness varies by region.

Use Cases

• Calculate optimal routes based on the comprehensive highway network.
• Analyze regional accessibility based on road types and connectivity.
• Plan evacuation routes for disaster response using the mapped road infrastructure.

Strengths

• Includes all OpenStreetMap features tagged with `highway`, covering a wide range of road types.
• Data is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT), a recognized organization in the field.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and JSON.

Limitations

• Completeness varies by region; urban areas are usually well-mapped, but remote areas may be incomplete.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
