Road Network of Svalbard and Jan Mayen Islands from OpenStreetMap

Svalbard and Jan Mayen Islands road features extracted from OpenStreetMap, filtered for objects with a 'highway' tag. The dataset includes attributes such as road name, type, surface, smoothness, and structural details like bridge status. It is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team and was last updated on 2026-03-03.

Use Cases

• Map road network connectivity based on highway type and oneway attributes.
• Assess road surface quality for logistics planning based on surface and smoothness attributes.
• Identify bridge locations and multi-level crossings based on bridge and layer attributes.
• Analyze road capacity for traffic studies based on width and lanes attributes.

Strengths

• Includes multiple geometric file formats: GEOJSON, SHP, GEOPACKAGE, KML.
• Attributes are based on the standardized OpenStreetMap tagging schema.
• Data was last updated on 2026-03-03 09:52:33.646887.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
