Understanding a city's transport network means knowing not just where the roads are, but what kind they are. Our satellite-imagery analysis automatically identifies and categorises an entire road network from medium-resolution imagery — turning raw pixels into a purposeful, functional map.
Reading a city's arteries
In Colorado Springs, the system mapped the city's diverse transportation infrastructure with precision — revealing how major arteries connect to local streets and where commercial corridors interlace with residential areas. A San Francisco analysis went finer still, capturing the bicycle pathways, pedestrian routes and service-access roads that form the lifeblood of a sustainable city.
The city as a connected system
What makes this transformative is that it sees the city as a living, connected system rather than a loose collection of roads. By understanding the functional purpose of each element, cities can make better-informed decisions about mobility, investment and growth.
