Comoros transport data

This dataset provides detailed information on road surfaces from OpenStreetMap (OSM), distinguishing between **paved** and **unpaved** roads across the region. Surface classification 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 Comoros **Planet** Road Surface. The corresponding paper is available at: https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.04092 Road Surface Statistics Approximately 0.0025 million km of roads are mapped in OSM in this region. Based on AI-derived estimates: - Paved roads: 0.0003 million km (11.6003%) - Unpaved roads: 0.0002 million km (7.7376%) About 0.002 million km (80.6621%) of road surface information is missing in OSM. To reduce this gap, the Mapillary-derived road surface dataset provides an additional 0.0 million km (0.2084%) of the missing surface information. Intended Use This dataset supports transportation planning, infrastructure analysis, climate emissions assessment, and GIS applications. AI Features - **pred_class**: Model-predicted surface class ("paved" or "unpaved") - **pred_label**: Binary label (0 = paved, 1 = unpaved) - **osm_surface_class**: Surface classification derived from OSM tags - **combined_surface_osm_priority**: Combined classification prioritizing OSM - **combined_surface_DL_priority**: Combined classification prioritizing DL prediction - **n_of_predictions_used**: Number of predictions used for estimation - **predicted_length**: Predicted length based on DL estimation (meters) - **DL_mean_timestamp**: Mean timestamp of predictions used OSM Attributes - **name** - **name:en** - **name:* (local language)** - **highway** - **surface** - **smoothness** - **width** - **lanes** - **oneway** - **bridge** - **layer** - **source** Urban Classification Attributes - **continent** - **country_iso_a2** - **urban** (0 = rural, 1 = urban) - **urban_area** - **osm_id** - **osm_type** Data Sources The dataset originates from OpenStreetMap (OSM) and is augmented with deep learning predictions based on Mapillary street-level imagery, combined with the GHSU Global Human Settlement Urban Layer 2019 and AFRICAPOLIS 2020 urban layer.

Airports and aviation infrastructure: airports, heliports, helipads, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites tagged via `aeroway`, `building`, or `emergency`. Useful for logistics, evacuation routing, and aerial-response planning. Coverage reflects where volunteer mappers have been active. Urban areas are usually well represented, remote areas may be sparse. Cross-check critical decisions with local field knowledge. - Source: OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map - Tags: aeroway, building, emergency - Part of the country exports on HDX by HOT

Sea ports, harbours and ferry terminals. Useful for maritime logistics, supply-chain analysis, and coastal access planning. Coverage reflects where volunteer mappers have been active.

Road network across the area tagged `highway=*`: motorways, residential streets, service roads, footways, and trails. Useful for routing, accessibility analysis, and evacuation planning.

Locations of seaports, harbours and maritime infrastructure in Comoros. Includes commercial ports, fishing harbours and ferry terminals. Use this layer for maritime transport planning, trade logistics analysis, coastal zone management, and shipping route mapping.

Point locations of airports, airstrips and airfields in Comoros. Each feature includes the facility name, type, elevation and runway information where available. Use this layer for aviation planning, accessibility analysis, emergency response logistics, and transport network mapping.

Line features representing roads in Comoros, published by Orion Terrametrics. Each line is a road segment with attributes such as highway type, surface, smoothness, and OpenStreetMap identifiers.

This theme includes all OpenStreetMap features in this area matching ( Learn what tags means here ) : tags['railway'] IN ('rail','station') Features may have these attributes: - name - name:en - railway - ele - operator:type - layer - addr:full - addr:city - source - name:ar - name:swb - name:fr This dataset is one of many OpenStreetMap exports on HDX.
