Tips on simple routing in NSW

[bi...@williamson.fm]

Would anyone have any tips on routing studies in NSW? Country roads.

I see this old conversation from the archives https://groups.google.com/g/australian-qgis-user-group/c/88pZ1ZR0M94/m/pXEd-dX7FqMJ 

but I'm just keen to know;

 - which road layer is easy to work with (road centreline or polygon or go with OSM)

 - QGIS desktop or PostGIS

 - use the Google API ?

Use case, with a bunch of points intersecting the roads, lets say road closure points, what roads are affected in the network, out to a nominal distance (beyond which the road users probably go the other way anyhow).

And an afterthought, any traffic data for country NSW?? Below is what I have seen for cities / highways. 

I note these sources;

road centreline  https://portal.spatial.nsw.gov.au/server/rest/services/NSW_Land_Parcel_Property_Theme_multiCRS/FeatureServer/1

road polygon https://portal.spatial.nsw.gov.au/server/rest/services/NSW_Land_Parcel_Property_Theme_multiCRS/FeatureServer/6

road corridor

proway address point https://portal.spatial.nsw.gov.au/server/rest/services/NSW_Geocoded_Addressing_Theme/FeatureServer/2

road polygon https://maps.six.nsw.gov.au/arcgis/rest/services/public/NSW_Cadastre_WFS/MapServer/1 

road segment  https://portal.spatial.nsw.gov.au/server/rest/services/NSW_Transport_Theme_multiCRS/FeatureServer/5 

road extent  https://portal.spatial.nsw.gov.au/server/rest/services/NSW_Transport_Theme_multiCRS/FeatureServer/6

Travel Zones (too coarse)

Traffic Counts (not relevant to country roads)

What exactly are you looking for? 

We have built a model for the entirety of the country based on OSM and including all roads and done a few transportation studies with it. 

We used AequilibraE for such (disclosure, I'm the creator of it) and it worked remarkably well. 

Feel free to reach out to pe...@outerloop.io 

Cheers,
