The EOBP for Road & Rail project is funded by ESA as a series of EO Best Practices.

Road infrastructure is fundamental to socio economic development, enhancing living standards and driving economic growth through improved connectivity. Earth observation (EO) technologies can significantly contribute to the road and rail logistics industry by enabling various use cases, from site selection and design optimization to decommissioning and repurposing. EO can help organizations throughout the industry by providing independent, spatially consistent, and scalable geospatial data that is regularly updated and covers large areas.

The main purpose of this activity is to identify pressing end-user needs across the road & rail industry’s business processes and understand how the current capabilities of EO can address these challenges. By bringing together road & rail industry & EO experts, this project defines best practices for the road & rail users to integrate impactful EO products into their business processes.
