Arctic Geospatial Data for Cold Region Transportation Infrastructure Analysis: High Resolution LiDAR Point Clouds along the Steese Highway, Alaska, 2023 - Site_3

Road data and the surrounding infrastructure was collected using vehicle-mounted LiDAR sensor for several sections of the Steese Highway as part of a continued efforts in providing more geospatial data in Artic regions relevant to cold regions research. The Steese Highway, located in Alaska, is a significant roadway that traverses through the state's interior, providing a vital transportation link within this remote and rugged region. Stretching approximately 261 kilometers, the highway begins in Fairbanks, one of Alaska's largest cities, and extends northward, ultimately connecting with the town of Circle near the Yukon River. The survey was conducted in the summer period of 2023. The corresponding point cloud data shows evidence of road degradation and damage, offering valuable resources for terrain visualization and analysis.本数据集针对阿拉斯加州斯蒂斯高速公路（Steese Highway）的多个路段，采用车载激光雷达（LiDAR）采集道路数据及周边基础设施信息，作为持续为北极地区提供更多与寒区研究相关的地理空间数据工作的一部分。斯蒂斯高速公路位于美国阿拉斯加州，是贯穿该州内陆的重要干线公路，为这片偏远崎岖的区域提供了关键的交通联络通道。该公路全长约261公里，始于阿拉斯加最大城市之一的费尔班克斯，向北延伸，最终与育空河附近的瑟克尔镇相连。本次数据采集工作于2023年夏季开展。配套点云数据可反映道路老化与损毁情况，为地形可视化与分析提供了宝贵的研究资源。
