Use of remote sensing data for traffic census purposes

Project presentation

Artificial satellites designed for remote Earth observation offer a promising source of data that has so far been used mainly outside the transport sector. The aim of the proposed project is to verify the possibilities and set limits and restrictions for the use of data obtained from Earth's orbit for traffic counting purposes. The suitability of applying this data will be examined not only for the purposes of comprehensive, nationwide traffic counting, but also for local counting, including static traffic counting. The possibilities of automatic vehicle detection on satellite images will also be explored. These procedures will then be integrated into a web map application. In the project, we will perform a cost-benefit analysis of the use of satellite data compared to traffic counts carried out using conventional methods.
