Trafficability analysis

General info
Category: 
GIS derived analysis
Platforms: 
High spatial resolution satellite
Scale: 
1/100 000 to 1/25 000
Spatial resolution: 
30 to 10m

Technical details

Required processing: 
Correction and smoothing of DEM, wathershed calculation, compute Cost Surface Raster with map algebra techniques, launch least-cost path script (CPU time consuming)
Data requirements: 

Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and indicator points.

Description

Most effective routes across a given area used to reconstruct former battleground theatres.

Why using remote sensors?: 

A trafficability analysis measures the cost of a person/vehicle to pass through a specified terrain in terms of time and effort, and could determine the most probable accessible route among some given locations.
