Predictive Analytics of Arctic Road Conditions: a 68 km LiDAR Dataset/Digital Terrain Map of the Dalton Highway, Alaska (Grayling Lake Wayside - Wiseman), August 2024.

Remote sensing makes it possible to gather data rapidly, accurately, and non-destructively, allowing for access to remote areas in near real-time. LiDAR sensor data were collected along Alaska's Dalton Highway as part of continued efforts to provide more geospatial data in Arctic regions relevant to cold region research. The Dalton Highway, also referred to as Alaska Route 11, is a remote and vital transportation corridor extending approximately 414 miles from Livengood to Deadhorse near the Arctic Ocean. The highway plays a critical role in facilitating access to the Prudhoe Bay Oil Fields and is a key logistical route for energy development in the region. The corresponding point cloud data shows the road conditions, offering valuable information for terrain analysis and landscape monitoring.
