High Resolution & Accurate
Aerial Imagery for Transportation
From roads to runways to rail, plan and improve with aerial imagery, elevation models, and AI insights.
Smarter Data for Roads, Airports, and Railways
Vexcel delivers mapping-grade aerial imagery and elevation data to help Departments of Transportation (DOTs) and AEC firms plan, monitor, and improve transportation infrastructure.
Ortho Imagery for City & Rural Roads
Vexcel ortho imagery covers both urban and rural road networks with consistent accuracy. It supports asset and condition monitoring, road and HD mapping, and change detection.
Ortho imagery is updated regularly and available nationwide with higher frequency in metro areas. View road impact after major disasters too.
Oblique Imagery for Urban Roads
Oblique imagery provides 45-degree views of roads and structures at 7.5cm resolution. It reveals signage, barriers, bridge undersides, and other features not visible in top-down views. Planners can use obliques to reduce field visits and improve asset documentation.
Use Elevation & 3D Models for Road Planning
Vexcel’s DSM and DTM data show the surface and terrain with matched alignment to our ortho imagery. DSM includes roads, buildings, and vegetation. DTM shows bare-earth terrain.
In addition, Vexcel offers 3D models offer realistic views of road corridors and surrounding infrastructure. These datasets support slope analysis, drainage planning, site evaluations, and more.
Elements AI: Roadway Attributes
Vexcel uses AI to extract 30+ roadway features from its imagery, including lane markings, curb mats, and crosswalks. This data supports ADA and MUTCD compliance, helps inventory and prioritize maintenance, and tracks changes over time.
Built for the Future of Transportation
Vexcel data supports HD map development, AI model training, and smart infrastructure planning for autonomous and connected vehicles. Accurate imagery, DSMs, and road features provide the foundation for next-generation mobility systems.
Current Imagery for Airports
Enhance planning, maintenance, and safety with up-to-date aerial imagery and elevation data for runways, taxiways, and surrounding infrastructure.
Understand Railway Corridors
Use high-resolution imagery and elevation data to monitor track conditions, bridges, and right-of-way areas to support maintenance, upgrades, and safe operations.
Easy Access for Every Workflow
Data is ready to use in GIS and AI workflows. Access imagery and data through APIs, image services, or offline delivery. Vexcel supports Esri, Cesium, SDK integrations, and more.
FAQs for Transportation
Q: How current is Vexcel imagery for transportation projects?
Vexcel updates high-resolution aerial imagery for 90% of the U.S. population each year, with major metro areas refreshed up to three times annually. Imagery is also regularly updated in 40 other countries and territories. This fresh data helps transportation teams work with recent, reliable views.
Q: Is Vexcel imagery accurate enough for DOT planning and analysis?
Yes. All Vexcel imagery meets ASPRS accuracy standards and is aligned to ground control points, making it suitable for roadway planning, measurement, asset management, and engineering analysis.
Q: Can transportation consultants and contractors access Vexcel data?
Yes. Vexcel supports local, state, and federal DOTs as well as their consulting and engineering partners with flexible data access options.
Q: How do transportation teams use Vexcel imagery for roadway inventories?
Transportation agencies and their partners use Vexcel imagery and AI-derived datasets to identify and map roadway features such as paint markings, crosswalks, and ADA ramps. This reduces the need for time-consuming field surveys.
Q: Does Vexcel provide elevation data to support transportation planning?
Yes. Vexcel offers DSM and DTM datasets that are spatially aligned with its ortho imagery, providing the elevation and terrain context needed for slope analysis, drainage studies, and corridor planning.
Q: How current is Vexcel’s imagery for airports?
Vexcel maintains up-to-date aerial imagery of airports across the U.S. and in more than 40 countries. This data helps airport operators and planners assess runways, taxiways, and surrounding areas for maintenance, safety, and expansion projects.
Q: How is Vexcel imagery used for railway planning and management?
Vexcel’s high-resolution imagery and elevation data help rail agencies and engineering firms understand corridor conditions, inspect bridges and embankments, and plan maintenance or upgrade projects with greater accuracy.
