Traffic Time Lapse
What is the purpose of a Transportation Study?
Transportation studies are performed by licensed engineering firms and serve to quantify the extent of a transportation problem or to provide an analysis of a proposed transportation solution.
What is a traffic time lapse?
A traffic time lapse video is made by recording an area of interest for a desired amount of time then speeding it up during editing. This is not a Transportation Study but merely a way to observe possible undesirable outcomes to changes in traffic patterns due to factors such as temporary construction.
The following time lapse video consists of a 15 minute time period condensed into 1 minute. This type of video can help determine if there are any issues with the temporary traffic pattern around this construction site. Some notable observations include confused customers trying to decide how to exit the bank drive thru, a wrong way driver on 4th St SW, and potential for head-on collisions due to cone placement at the bottom of the screen.

Drone Roof Reports: Drone/sUAS (Small Unmanned Aerial System)
Aerial inspection tools make inspecting and measuring roofs quicker and safer. Each roof report provides square footage, roof features, pitch, surface area, and slope. This method makes more sense for complex roof systems. Download an example of a roof report here.
Sample Drone Data
Feel free to click on the samples below to explore the capabilities of the drone data platform. You can switch between 2D and 3D Model Visual Representation. Also click on the individual images to see the details.
Be sure to look for any layer overlays that may be attached to the data sets. Toggle them on/off as you explore the data sets for valuable insight. By overlaying the most current working plans (not to exact scale) to your data set, you will be able to track changes/progress to your project and detect problems before they become too expensive! These data sets are for all non-legally binding uses. Replicating the drone flights regularly will document all activity and make it possible to compare between dates which aids in conflict resolution.
Sample data sets display measurements in Metric units. After you set up your account, you can change your preferences to Imperial.
