transportnet
Transportnet is a term used in transportation planning and systems analysis to describe a network representation of a transportation system. In a transportnet, nodes denote junctions or places such as intersections, stations, airports, or logistics hubs, while edges denote the links between them, including road segments, rail lines, air corridors, shipping lanes, or pedestrian paths. Each element can carry attributes such as travel time, distance, capacity, tolls, or frequency.
It encompasses road networks, rail networks, public transit networks, and multimodal networks that combine several modes.
Data sources include geographic information systems, open data projects such as OpenStreetMap, and transportation feeds like
Challenges include data quality and timeliness, temporal dynamics, interoperability among data formats, and scaling to large
