gmns General Modeling Network Specification (GMNS)

  • description The General Modeling Network Specification (GMNS) defines a common machine (and human) readable format for sharing routable road network files. It is designed to be used in multi-modal static and dynamic transportation planning and operations models.

  • version 0.96
  • description A link is an edge in a network, defined by the nodes it travels from and to. It may have associated geometry information. Links have three types of attributes:
    - Those that define the physical location of the link (e.g., shape information, length, width)
    - Those that define the link's directionality: from_node, to_node
    - Those that define properties in the direction of travel: capacity, free flow speed, number of lanes, permitted uses, grade, facility type
