Datasets

The data used for benchmarking are open-source datasets from the Dutch government available at PDOK. National datasets were used to test the limits of the software and smaller versions for the province Utrecht and municipality Enschede were utilized to be able to benchmark long-running operations, which were not feasible otherwise. The datasets utilized are the land use (polygon), the road network (line), and the address points (point).
