Togo Road Network from OpenStreetMap for Routing and Analysis

A road network dataset for Togo, exported from OpenStreetMap. It includes all features tagged with the 'highway' key, such as motorways, residential streets, service roads, footways, and trails. The data is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-05-15.

Use Cases

• Calculate optimal routes based on the comprehensive highway network.
• Analyze regional accessibility for services based on road types and connectivity.
• Plan evacuation scenarios using the mapped network of motorways and residential streets.
• Assess pedestrian infrastructure based on included footways and trails.

Strengths

• Covers multiple road types including motorways, residential streets, service roads, footways, and trails.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats: GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and JSON.
• Sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative global mapping project.

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.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
