United States — Logistics Infrastructure

Network and freight scale come from the World Bank and the GRIP4 global road inventory; railway and metro stations from GeoNames; warehouses, container and customs facilities from OpenStreetMap; maritime territory from Marine Regions; and the trans-European core network from the EU TEN-T.
