Spatial intelligence that supports safer, more efficient transport networks

Transport and logistics networks rely on accurate, current spatial data to plan, operate and maintain complex infrastructure. From traffic management and road operations to major transport hubs and corridors, Aerometrex delivers aerial imagery, LiDAR-derived datasets and 3D modelling solutions that provide clarity, consistency and confidence.

Our solutions support road and traffic management companies, infrastructure operators, ports, airports, rail organisations and logistics planners by supplying trusted spatial data that integrates seamlessly into planning, operational and communication workflows.

Aerial Imagery

Current network context for planning, operations and compliance

High-resolution aerial imagery provides an up-to-date view of transport networks, road corridors and surrounding environments. It supports everything from traffic planning and asset identification to operational coordination and stakeholder reporting.

Aerometrex supplies premium imagery through MetroMap, our subscription-based imagery platform, as well as bespoke capture for project-specific requirements. This enables flexible access to imagery across both localised works and broader network areas.

Using this imagery, teams can:

  • Plan traffic and logistics activities – assess road layouts, intersections, access points and constraints remotely.
  • Support operational coordination – provide a shared visual reference for crews, contractors and stakeholders.
  • Improve compliance and reporting – clearly document conditions before, during and after works.
  • Monitor change over time – compare imagery to track upgrades, disruptions or network changes.

Regular MetroMap updates are particularly valuable for organisations that require ongoing situational awareness rather than one-off datasets.

LiDAR and Derived Solutions

Accurate elevation and corridor data for transport analysis

Aerial LiDAR delivers detailed elevation and surface intelligence across linear and precinct-scale transport environments. Aerometrex provides LiDAR and derived datasets, including DTM, DSM, contours, classified point clouds and vegetation/building datasets to support planning, analysis and asset management.

Drawing on this data, transport and logistics teams can:

  • Understand terrain and gradients – support road, rail and corridor planning and safety analysis.
  • Assess clearances and constraints – identify height, slope and spatial limitations along transport routes.
  • Support drainage and flood assessment – understand surface flow and low-lying areas affecting network resilience.
  • Enable corridor-scale planning – consistent data supports long-distance and multi-jurisdiction projects.

LiDAR provides a reliable spatial foundation for engineering analysis and long-term infrastructure planning across complex transport networks.

3D Mesh Reality Modelling

Visualising transport environments for planning, operations and engagement

3D mesh reality models combine aerial imagery with spatial geometry to create detailed, photo-realistic representations of transport corridors, precincts and infrastructure. These models are being applied across major transport projects - helping organisations from ports to city planners visualise complex environments, test scenarios and communicate plans clearly to diverse stakeholders.

Using 3D models, your team can:

  • Enhance situational awareness – understand spatial relationships between roads, rail, logistics hubs and surrounding land use.
  • Improve planning and design analysis – assess access, sightlines and interfaces for transport-oriented developments, nodes and network changes.
  • Optimise operational decisions – run “what-if” scenarios such as CCTV placement, security layouts or staging plans in a realistic 3D environment.
  • Strengthen stakeholder engagement – use intuitive, immersive visuals with decision-makers, regulators and communities to build understanding and support.
  • Support digital twin initiatives – underpin ongoing monitoring, safety inductions and integrated data platforms for complex transport hubs.

Integrated with other spatial datasets such as imagery and LiDAR, 3D reality modelling creates a cohesive visual platform that elevates planning, operational insight and communication across both technical and non-technical audiences.
