swissTNE Base

swissTNE Base models the four types of transport axes - railways, roads, cableways and waterways - into a multimodal network. It is the core dataset of the Transportation Network CH and the basis on which various sector-specific information can be referenced. With swissTNE Base, specialists have access to central data for the transport and mobility sector.

swissTNE Base: two specific datasets with focus on transport and mobility

Datasets with focus on transport and mobility

swisstopo offers the base data of the Transportation Network CH swissTNE Base as download files. These product serves as a common denominator for referencing and linking spatial data on transport and mobility.The dataset is currently based exclusively on the topographic landscape model TLM. The geometries of transport axes in swissTNE Base are interconnected to forma multimodal network.

Schematic diagram of a train station. Above are several levels with connecting lines to certain locations in the station. A blue level symbolizes the basic network with its basic information about where roads or rails are located. 3 further levels symbolize specialised networks with specific information about the infrastructures, e.g. where parking spaces and stairs are located. Vertical connections symbolize that the specialised networks can be spatially referenced to the common denominator basic network.

In addition to the basic network, swisstopo will provide additional complementary information also derived from the topographic landscape model TLM (e.g. street names, type of object, number of lanes, etc.) put together in a table. This specialised datasets will contain their own geometries and will be linked to the geometries of the base network.
