Local Roads Density (GRIP)

The Local Roads Density raster layer is part of the Global Roads Inventory Project (GRIP) dataset, developed to provide a more recent and consistent global roads dataset for use in global environmental and biodiversity assessment models like GLOBIO.

Data publication: 2018-01-01

Supplemental Information:

The original GRIP dataset consists of global and regional vector datasets in ESRI geodatabase and shapefile format. It is also available as global raster datasets of road density at a 5 arcminutes resolution (~8x8km) from which the local roads component has been extracted.

GRIP version 4 (GRIP4) is based on many different sources, including OpenStreetMap. The UNSDI-Transportation datamodel was applied for harmonization of the individual source datasets. GRIP4 is provided under an Open Data Commons Open Database License (ODbL) and is free to use.
