Features

Fully connected

OS MRN brings together existing OS Road, Rail, Path and Ferry networks in a fully connected dataset, using Modal Change Points to show where you can transition between them (for example, at railway stations and ferry terminals).

OpenStreetMap schema

OS MRN is built in the OpenStreetMap schema, which is widely supported by routing software, enabling use in a wide range of applications.

Ready-to-use

All the road restriction information you need for safe routing is included, as well as speed data, reducing the pain points of processing and joining multiple datasets.

• Planning safe routes to school

• Emergency Services planning and response

• Transport planning

• Supporting Active Travel initiatives

• Planning of accessible citizen services
