## Create Road Network Datasets

Road network datasets can be created by importing information from a polyline shapefile that represents a road network. Another way to import a road
network dataset is using a bounding polygon shapefile to generate a road network using all available data within the bounding polygon from the
OpenStreetMap <Citation citationKey="OSM"/> database (refer to [Appendix
C](./19-appendix-editing-road-network-data-for-use-in-lifesim.mdx) for further information).

Another way to import a road
network dataset is directly in LifeSim using a bounding polygon shapefile to generate a road network using all available data within the bounding polygon from the
OpenStreetMap <Citation citationKey="OSM"/> database. Refer to [Appendix
