A dataset of China’s overseas highway project information from 2006 to 2019

Since the “Belt and Road Initiative” initiative, China's overseas highway projects have developed rapidly. Highway construction is the leading carrier for the construction of other projects. It is vital to the construction of other supporting facilities, and at the same time it can stimulate economic growth along the region and narrow the gap between regions. Development gap. However, there are currently few statistics on highway projects outside China, and there is a lack of statistics and positioning data for the “Belt and Road Initiative” highway project. This dataset uses web crawler technology, various corporate official website consultation reports, and OSM (open street map) and DIVA-GIS road data sources to collect and organize information on 99 highway projects in 51 countries, including the project location and construction of highway projects. 13 basic information such as start time, route length, construction unit and cooperation mode. The collection of road information is not only conducive to enterprises to strengthen communication, formulate more international norms, rationally carry out investment in overseas highway projects, and has positive significance for the overall planning and layout of China's “Belt and Road Initiative” overseas highway project.

自‘一带一路’倡议提出以来，中国海外公路工程项目发展迅猛。公路建设作为其他项目建设的核心载体，不仅对各类配套设施的建设至关重要，更可拉动沿线区域经济增长，缩小区域发展差距。然而当前中国境外公路工程项目的统计资料相对匮乏，针对‘一带一路’公路项目的统计与定位数据仍存在明显缺口。本数据集依托网络爬虫技术、多家企业官方网站发布的咨询报告，并结合开放街道地图（OSM, Open Street Map）与DIVA-GIS道路数据源，收集整理了51个国家共计99个公路工程项目的相关信息，涵盖项目位置、开工时间、线路长度、建设单位、合作模式等13项基础信息。公路信息的系统性收集，不仅有助于企业强化国际沟通、制定更贴合国际通行标准的规范，合理推进海外公路工程投资布局，同时对于中国统筹规划与优化‘一带一路’境外公路工程项目的整体布局亦具有积极意义。
