Track: Census
Authors: Pasi Piela

Enabling a national road and street database with network-based spatial routing analysis contributes to meeting new user needs in development of Population Statistics of Statistics Finland. It gives access to information on service areas and distances to actual services such as public schools, or even to upgrade commuting statistics on distances between each home and work point coordinates along the actual road network. Another case example is given on emergency coverage based on drive time.
