Eswatini: 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.
- The PlanetScope-based dataset provides near-complete and globally consistent coverage along arterial roads.


Accuracy and Data Quality

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


Summary of Road Statistics

Approximately 0.0019 million km of arterial roads are mapped in OSM.

Based on AI-derived estimates:
- Paved roads: 0.0016 million km (80.7488%)
- Unpaved roads: 0.0003 million km (17.2772%)

A total of 0.0001 million km (2.74%)
lack OSM surface tags.

PlanetScope-derived predictions provide surface information for
0.0019 million km
(3577.6398%) of this missing data.

  Class 1 (<3.5 m): light vehicles only; high blockage risk
  Class 2 (3.5-5.5 m): single-lane heavy truck; alternating flow
  Class 3 (>5.5 m): two-lane heavy truck; unimpeded flow

- Humanitarian Passability Index (HPI)
  Combines road surface and width into a logistical accessibility class:
  Score 1 (highest passability) to Score 6 (lowest passability)


Included OSM Attributes

- Road Segment ID
- highway classification
- surface tag
- OSM road length (meters)


Geographic Attributes
