MapFan DB Road Map Database

Road network

This is high-precision road network data for GIS and car navigation systems, compiled from road information covering approximately 1.3 million km nationwide.
In addition to information on road types, number of lanes, intersections, and structures such as bridges and tunnels, the database also includes a wide range of traffic regulation information, such as road closures, one-way streets, and restrictions on right and left turns.
We respond quickly to new road openings and road improvements, ensuring that our maps always reflect the latest road conditions.
In addition to routing applications such as car navigation systems, logistics systems, urban planning, and traffic simulations, it is also ideal for various GIS analyses utilizing road networks.

Data Details

Abundant basic attributes, regulatory information, and road structure information.

Abundant basic attributes, regulatory information, and road structure information.

  • Road links retain basic attributes such as road type, road width, number of lanes, and road number.
  • We also maintain information on conditions such as road closures, one-way streets, and restrictions based on the day of the week and time of day.
  • We also provide information on other road structures such as bridges, tunnels, overpasses, underpasses, level crossings, and areas prone to flooding.
Achieves highly accurate route search and guidance.

Achieves highly accurate route search and guidance.

  • GeoTechnologies' unique route classification system allows for optimal route selection based on road importance and traffic conditions.
  • It supports national and prefectural road numbers, street names, expressway route names, and even expressway numbering, enabling easy-to-understand guidance displays.
Diverse optional data and 12 regular updates per year

Diverse optional data and 12 regular updates per year

  • As optional data, we can also provide "vehicle-specific traffic restriction data" that can determine whether or not each vehicle type, such as large vehicles, is permitted to pass, as well as traffic restriction information such as Speed limit Stop sign, zone 30 areas, and stop signs.
  • We keep up with newly constructed and improved roads nationwide through 12 regular updates per year, ensuring that our data always reflects the latest road conditions.

Expected usage

  • In optimizing logistics routes, traffic regulation information, along with the latest New road information list and width information, can be considered and utilized.

  • In urban planning and traffic simulations, the extensive road attribute data enables detailed analysis.

  • This can be used in local government road management operations to identify road types and restricted areas.

  • By distinguishing between smart interchanges and ETC-only roads, the accuracy of access routes to expressways can be improved.

  • This can be used to visualize and organize local roads and tourist routes in tourism and regional revitalization initiatives.

  • In addressing aging infrastructure in local governments, repair plans can be prioritized based on bridge and tunnel information.

  • Our map service can accurately display road types, names, and structures (bridges, tunnels, etc.).

FAQ

What kind of traffic regulation information does this road network data include?

The road network data includes a wide range of major traffic restriction information relevant to actual driving, such as road closures, one-way streets, no-turn/right-turn restrictions, and time-based restrictions. This information is assigned to each road link, allowing for route calculations that avoid restrictions during route searching.

How many times a year are updates made, and how are new road openings and renovation information reflected?

Road network data is updated monthly, 12 times a year. Newly opened roads and roads that have been widened or renovated are promptly reflected in the data after thorough review based on on-site surveys, official documents, and information from relevant organizations. This allows for route calculations and map displays that reflect the latest road conditions.

How can ETC toll data and Vehicle type regulation be used?

ETC toll data can be used to accurately calculate tolls along routes on expressways and toll roads. Additionally, optional Vehicle type regulation contains information on restrictions for large vehicles and specific types of vehicles, enabling route determination and the creation of restriction-avoidance routes based on vehicle type. These contribute to highly accurate route design in navigation and logistics systems.
