NWB roads - Route light (RWS)
Description
NWB Roads light is the NWB Roads on an aggregated level. The NWB Road Light can be seen as an extension of the route system associated with the product NWB Roads. It can therefore be used to link and present information (from tables) based on road number and hectometreation on the NWB. The use of the NWB Road Light requires some knowledge of the concepts of route construction and dynamic segmentation. The term light has been chosen because the level of detail of the network, from which the route system is derived, has been greatly simplified compared to that of the standard route system. The network of the NWB Roads Light contains no connecting roads or complicated intersections: each road is represented only by a single line and each intersection, however complicated, is represented by only one node. This set-up makes linking data very easy and is mainly intended for making medium-scale tickets, i.e. for a district, management, province or the whole of the Netherlands. The algorithm used to build the NWB Roads Light uses the original hectolitres file of the NWB Roads and works globally as follows: the centre is determined from the XY coordinates of the location of the hectometre poles of the main carriageway. Then these points are connected by a line for the road in question and a route key is added to it (the number of the road). The NWB Roads Light is made for all hectared (national and provincial) roads in shape format including route key. For urban roads this product is not (yet) possible. Mutations on the product are not provided. In this context, the application of the NWB light in labour-intensive business processes and/or business-critical environments is not advisable.
NWB Roads:
The NWB-Wegen is a digital geographical file of all roads in the Netherlands. All roads managed by road authorities such as the national government, provinces, municipalities and water boards are included, but only insofar as they are provided with a street name or number. So also loose foot and bicycle paths and unpaved roads, if provided with a street name, are included in the NWB Roads. If a road has separate lanes, which is especially the case with national roads, these are processed as separate road sections in the file.
The NWB Roads file currently consists of more than 159,000 hectolitres and almost 1.5 million digitized road sections with a total length of
more than 190,000 kilometres (measurement January 2023). The NWB Roads are updated monthly.

Representatives of municipalities, provinces, water boards and Rijkswaterstaat have started to design and organize the cooperation around the NWB. In the context of this further development of the NWB, we would like to get in touch with you, the NWB user. Therefore, we ask you to send an email with your contact details to the following address: nwb@rws.nl
