Truck traffic monitoring with satellite images

Abstract: The road freight sector is responsible for a large and growing share of greenhouse gas emissions, but reliable data on the amount of freight that is moved on roads in many parts of the world are scarce. Many low-and middle-income countries have limited ground-based traffic monitoring and freight surveying activities. In this proof of concept, we show that we can use an object detection network to count trucks in satellite images and predict average annual daily truck traffic from those counts. We describe a co… Show more

“…The results from our previous Viewpoint were widely covered and led to speculations regarding other system-level approaches to decrease the required energy, , thereby lowering the battery weight and improving the ability to carry cargo. One of the avenues proposed to address the uphill challenge is to exploit the platooning of multiple trucks .…”

“…the volume of a building or the distance travelled by a vehiclecan be predictive of energy use and GHG emissions (Liu, Li, Wu, & Li, 2018;Robinson et al, 2017). This route can utilize several ML methods sequentially for different tasks (Kaack, Chen, & Morgan, 2019;Liu et al, 2018). ML and other modelling can also be combined (Abdulkareem, 2019).…”

“…The generated images contain essential information for civilian and military domains when ground sensors are not locally available. Sample civilian applications include urban planning (Wijnands et al, 2021), automatic traffic monitoring (Kaack et al, 2019), driving behavioral research (Chen et al, 2021), or commerce management with ship monitoring (Cao et al, 2019). Similarly, object detection and tracking contribute to military applications such as border protection or abnormal activity monitoring.…”
