Sierra Leone: 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 0.0037 million km of arterial roads are mapped in OSM.

Based on AI-derived estimates:
- Paved roads: 0.0015 million km (40.5456%)
- Unpaved roads: 0.002 million km (52.4757%)

A total of 0.0005 million km (14.3332%)
lack OSM surface tags.

PlanetScope-derived predictions provide surface information for
0.0035 million km
(648.9934%) of this missing data.


AI-Derived Attributes Included

- DL Surface Prediction 2020 – Paved / Unpaved / Unknown
- DL Surface Prediction 2024 – Paved / Unpaved / Unknown
- Road Surface Change (2020-2024) – Indicator of transitions from unpaved to paved
- Road Width Class (1-3):
  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

- country_iso_a2

Democratic Republic of the Congo: Integrated Context Analysis (ICA), 2017


    The ICA is a process of consultations supported by mapped-out data that produces a strategic plan describing where different combinations of programme themes are appropriate to achieve goals of reducing food insecurity and climate related shock risk.

The ICA combines multi-year food security trends with natural shock risk data to highlight sub-national areas where different programme strategies make sense. Food security trend maps shows areas where safety nets can address regular food insecurity, and others where shocks make recovery more important. Climate-related natural shock risk maps show where DRR, preparedness and early warning efforts can complement food-security objectives. Atop this core foundation, mapped data on subjects including nutrition, gender, livelihoods and resilience can enrich theme-level strategic planning in which all pieces work together. The full group of ICA partners discuss these analytical results to arrive at strategic programmatic directions.

Honduras: Operational Presence - COVID Pandemic

The Who does What Where (3W) is a core humanitarian coordination dataset. It is critical to know where humanitarian organizations are working, what they are doing and their capability in order to identify gaps, avoid duplication of efforts, and plan for future humanitarian response (if needed). The data includes a list of humanitarian organizations by district and cluster, as well as a unique count of organizations.

Damage assessment in 'Ohonua town, 'Eua  Prope district, 'Eua division, Tonga as of 20 & 21 January 2022

**UNOSAT code: VO20220115TON**  This map illustrates the impact of the Hunga Tonga-hunga Ha'apai volcanic eruption and the subsequent tsunami in 'Ohonoua town ('Eua Prope district, Tonga) and damage assessment as detected from Pleiades images acquired on 20 January 2022 at 11:20 local time and 21 January 2022 at 11:13 local time.
Among the 2,028 structures were identified, of which 1,231 structures are in cloud-free areas. Amongst the analyzed 1,231 structures, 54 were identified as damaged or destroyed, three as potentially damaged structures, and 1,174 buildings appeared without any visible damage from space imagery analysis. Six road obstacles were also identified in the cloud-free areas. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to the United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT).
