Accurate road surface information is crucial for emergency responses and route planning. But #OpenStreetMap has comprehensive surface attributes for only 30–40% of the roads worldwide.

Using state-of-the-art GeoAI methods, we created an openly available 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱𝘄𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗲𝘀.

A new paper presents the methods behind the dataset.
