AndreaBozzo/ceres-open-data-index huggingface dataset:
Belarus: Planet Road Surface, Width, and Passability Data

This dataset provides AI-derived road surface type, road width, road surface change
(unpaved to paved), and a Humanitarian Passability Index (HPI) using
PlanetScope satellite imagery (2020 and 2024).

The analysis focuses on arterial roads classified in OSM as motorway, trunk,
primary, and secondary, including their link classes. These road types form
the backbone of long-distance, high-capacity transportation and national connectivity.

Relationship to the Previous Mapillary-Based Dataset

HeiGIT previously released a global dataset based on Mapillary street-level imagery.

- The Mapillary dataset provides detailed ground-level information but has uneven coverage.

Accuracy and Data Quality

The PlanetScope surface model achieved 89.2% accuracy, outperforming OSM surface tags (64.7%).


Summary of Road Statistics

Approximately 0.0262 million km of arterial roads are mapped in OSM.

Based on AI-derived estimates:
- Paved roads: 0.0253 million km (96.5269%)
- Unpaved roads: 0.0001 million km (0.3934%)

A total of 0.0001 million km (0.373%)

Norway: Road Surface Data

This dataset provides detailed information on road surfaces from OpenStreetMap (OSM),
distinguishing between paved and unpaved roads across the region.

Surface information is derived using a hybrid deep learning approach.
For methodological details, see:
http://arxiv.org/abs/2410.19874

Recently, we also published a new country-level dataset based on PlanetScope satellite imagery
with near-complete coverage of all arterial roads. It is available on HDX under the name:
"Norway: **Planet** Road Surface".
The corresponding paper is available at:
https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.04092


Road Surface Statistics

Approximately 1.9661 million km of roads are mapped in OSM in this region.

Based on AI-derived estimates:
- Paved roads: 0.6942 million km (35.3065%)
- Unpaved roads: 0.2998 million km (15.2463%)

About 0.9908 million km
(50.3928%) of roads lack surface information in OSM.

To reduce this gap, the Mapillary-derived surface dataset provides an additional
0.0157 million km
(1.5842%) of surface information.


Intended Use

This dataset supports transportation planning, infrastructure assessment,
climate emissions analysis, and GIS applications.
