New dataset tracks European vehicle speeds using satellite imagery

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new dataset has been released detailing individual vehicle speed observations across major European E-roads from 2022 to 2026. This data was derived from Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite imagery by analyzing the slight positional displacements of vehicles across different spectral bands. The dataset, distributed as GeoPackage files, includes trajectory geometry, estimated speeds, timestamps, and quality indicators, supporting studies in traffic patterns and transport modeling. AI
