P10: Mapping travel times to assets

Download the gap analysis product sheet 

Maturity score

Mean: 3.00

STD: 0.00

Constraints and limitations

·  The product is static and may not account for dynamic factors like traffic congestion, seasonal changes, or road closures, which can impact travel times.

·  The product represents the travel time of using motorized means without considering the type of vehicle.

Relevant user needs

UN47: Need up-to-date geospatial data on residential and industrial infrastructures' locations

R&D gaps

·  The relatively coarse spatial resolution (~ 1 km)

Potential improvements drivers

Provide more global friction maps with higher spatial resolution. These maps are used to generate the travel time maps.
