IGR-Transport Networks: High-Value Multimodal Mobility Data
The National Geographic Institute (IGN) and the National Center for Geographic Information (CNIG) return to Global Mobility Call to showcase the geospatial data set that forms the Digital Transport Infrastructure to users.
From November 19 to 21, at Global Mobility Call, organized by IFEMA MADRID in collaboration with Smobhub, the National Geographic Institute will have an exhibitor space shared with the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility. Additionally, the IGN invites attendees to participate in the following session featuring the Deputy Director of Cartography, Alicia González Jiménez:
Tuesday, November 19: 11:40 AM – INSIGHTS Plaza
Roundtable: Smart Mobility Planning: Designing More Livable Urban Spaces.
Modera: Marta Alonso, Director General of Traffic Management and Monitoring, Madrid City Council.
About the Reference Geographic Information on Transport Networks (IGR-RT)
The IGR-RT is the most detailed and comprehensive national geospatial data set, aligned with the INSPIRE Directive, encompassing transport network modes such as roadways, railways, air, maritime, and cable systems, as well as their intermodal connections. As such, it is classified as a High-Value Data Set in the field of mobility, according to the classification specified in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/138.
The reuse of this openly accessible public information holds significant social and economic potential, given transportation's role as a backbone of territorial integration and a determinant of economic activity and citizen access to public services.
Through the High-Definition Transport Network Project, deep learning AI algorithms applied to images from the National Aerial Orthophotography Plan (PNOA) aim to enhance the efficiency of geospatial data production processes and improve the geometric accuracy of roadway network components.
