How can the ITN Layer benefit you?

There are many benefits to the ITN Layer. For instance;

 

  • The data includes all roads, from motorways to pedestrianised streets.
  • The inclusion of bridge weight, height and width information allows precise HGV journey planning.
  • The ability to route and schedule deliveries allows more drops per day, thus saving time and money and realising significant benefits in increased customer satisfaction and reduced expenses.
  • Routing can be optimised to make better use of your resources, for instance, for waste management or pupil school transport.
  • The data can be used with your own data systems, giving more flexibility.
  • If you want to create and maintain the National Street Gazetteer to level 3, the ITN Layer supports this.

The data can be used with other OS MasterMap layers, for instance:

  • the OS MasterMap Imagery Layer and the Topography Layer - to get a highly accurate picture of an area or site and indicate the inherent advantages and disadvantages of the area under review; and
  • the OS MasterMap Address Layer and the ITN Layer - to plan transport and distribution logistics more accurately and to establish the most cost-effective and quickest routes for deliveries.

The ITN data is updated every six weeks: you will always have up-to-date information that you can rely on.
