Expected usage

This can be used to draw maps of railway lines and stations. Railroad network is represented by the symbolic colors of each line.
By using color codes to differentiate the lines, it can be displayed on web maps and GIS applications as a highly visible railway route map.
It can also be used for analyses that take into account the location and connection relationships of railway lines and stations. For example, it can be applied to the analysis of commuting patterns using railways, or to the visualization of congestion levels on railway lines.
Based on Railroad network, you can evaluate accessibility to specific facilities and areas. This can be useful for disaster prevention planning, such as considering mobility support services for the elderly and tourists, or planning transportation routes during disasters.
