EMBEDEARTH / SEARCH API

Bridge Search API

Search bridges by road or rail network, waterways, traffic context, and nearby infrastructure.

core search

Search Bridges by Region, Radius, Polygon, or Viewport

Search bridges by geography instead of relying on text alone. EDK supports regional search, bounding boxes, polygons, radii, and viewport queries, making bridge API useful for local discovery, infrastructure research, and programmatic geographic analysis.

coverage

Measure Bridges Coverage and Geographic Gaps

Use catchments, nearest-distance analysis, and counts to see where bridges are concentrated and where coverage breaks down. Combine bridge GIS data with roads and rail lines to identify underserved areas, redundant facilities, or regions where new capacity may matter.

access

Find Practical Access to Bridges

Access often starts at a road, entrance, stop, trail, parking area, or nearby town rather than the feature centroid. EDK can pair bridge API with routing and surrounding infrastructure so applications can model how people actually reach bridges.

compute

Run Spatial Analysis on Bridges

Move from bridge API results to analysis in the same workflow. Calculate bridge density and crossing coverage, compare candidate locations, intersect features with another layer, or build buffers around bridges. Outputs can feed screening, planning, dashboards, or automated ranking.

maps

Turn Bridge Map into a Product Layer

Map bridges without maintaining a separate visualization index. EDK can return map-ready geometry, update results as the viewport changes, and combine the primary layer with roads and rail lines. Styling remains under the application’s control.

corridor

Search Bridges Along Corridors

Build a corridor around a highway, rail line, river, pipeline, or planned route and search only inside that geometry. For bridges, corridor analysis supports bridge-aware routing, network screening, field work, and infrastructure research without pulling an entire regional dataset first.

routing

Make Bridges Search Route-Aware

Combine bridge API with routing so results reflect practical access. Find bridges along a route, rank candidates by ETA, or constrain search to a detour threshold. The routing layer can feed logistics, field work, trip planning, or service-access products.

use cases

What You Can Build with Bridges Data

Use bridge GIS data for mobility, logistics, transportation planning, and fleet operations. Common workflows include bridge network analysis, mapping, access analysis, operations, and geographic research. EDK lets each use case reuse the same Search, Maps, Routing, Tiles, and Compute primitives.
