MapFan DB Road Map Database

Pedestrian network

Pedestrian network data is a collection of route information for pedestrian spaces that are inaccessible to general vehicles, such as train stations, pedestrian overpasses, underground passages, and parks.
The map covers major cities, airports, large parks, riverbanks, station connecting passages, and cycling paths across Japan, providing detailed coverage of pedestrian-accessible routes such as crosswalks, stairs, ramps, elevators, and underground shopping area entrances.
It is connected to the road network and supports multimodal route planning for both cars and pedestrians.
This data can be used in a variety of pedestrian-centric use cases, such as pedestrian navigation, movement analysis, disaster prevention planning, barrier-free support, and tourist information.

Data Details

Standard road network data has been updated to include pedestrian-only route information.

Standard road network data has been updated to include pedestrian-only route information.

  • This data includes the standard road network with additional pedestrian-only routes such as train stations, underpasses, and pedestrian overpasses.
  • Because it includes information on station concourses, connecting passages, pedestrian decks, overpasses, underpasses, and routes within parks, it is possible to construct three-dimensional walking routes that take vertical movement into account.
Covers a wide range of usage scenarios, from train stations and underground shopping areas to parks.

Covers a wide range of usage scenarios, from train stations and underground shopping areas to parks.

  • In addition to major cities across Japan, including Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka, the service covers areas that reflect actual usage scenarios, such as major airports and large parks.
  • In major urban areas, sidewalks running parallel to roadways are also meticulously maintained.
    It faithfully reproduces the real-world traffic environment.
With 12 updates per year, it keeps pace with the changing walking environment.

Expected usage

  • It can be used in pedestrian navigation apps to provide accurate and up-to-date route guidance.

  • It can be used to analyze pedestrian flow in General facility (shop) and tourist destinations, and to formulate marketing strategies.

  • This can be used in developing barrier-free maps for General facility (public) and General facility (shop), including selecting routes with fewer steps and providing assistance for mobility.

  • This can be used in event visitor guidance planning, including pedestrian flow simulations and congestion mitigation measures.

  • This can be used to guide walking routes in tourist areas such as parks, riverbanks, and historical roads.

  • It can be used to visualize pedestrian networks and design traffic flow in urban development and redevelopment projects.

FAQ

How often is this pedestrian network data updated?

Pedestrian network data is updated regularly 12 times a year (monthly). We always provide the latest pedestrian route data that reflects the current situation.

What areas are included in this pedestrian network data?

This data broadly covers areas with high pedestrian traffic, primarily in major cities across Japan, including airports, train stations, underground shopping areas, large General facility (shop), parks, riverbanks, and station connecting passages.

How can I use indoor and outdoor route guidance?

Because the outdoor road network and indoor walking routes within structures such as train stations, underpasses, and pedestrian decks are connected as a network, it is possible to design walking navigation apps that provide seamless route guidance from the ground level to inside facilities.
