European road speeds mapped using Sentinel-2 satellite data

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new dataset offers individual vehicle speed observations on major European roads from 2022 to 2026. The data is derived from Sentinel-2 satellite imagery by analyzing the slight time delays between different spectral bands, which reveal moving vehicles as "echoes." This processing pipeline allows for the creation of per-vehicle trajectories and speed estimations, distributed in GeoPackage files to support traffic pattern studies and transport modeling. AI

    Vehicle speed dataset for the major European road network derived from Sentinel-2 imagery, 2022-2026

    The dataset provides individual vehicle speed observations on European E-roads: motorways, trunk roads, primary and secondary roads, as tagged in OpenStreetMap as e-road, for the years 2022-2026. Speeds are derived from Copernicus Sentinel-2 Level-2A satellite optical imagery usi…
