Trace Monitoring
See changes along your infrastructure corridors.
SBI uses AI-supported satellite image analysis to identify new objects and changes near network routes. Georeferenced findings help your team focus inspections and track corridor conditions over time.
Corridor awareness
See changes across long routes.
Targeted inspections
Focus field teams on locations to review.
Repeat monitoring
Compare conditions across observation dates.
GIS-ready insights
Connect findings with your network data.
How Trace Monitoring Works
From satellite observations to a structured review of your corridor.
-
1
Define your corridor
Agree the route, buffer and features of interest.
-
2
Compare observations
Analyse suitable optical and radar imagery over time.
-
3
Review detected changes
Map new objects and surface changes for investigation.
-
4
Support field action
Deliver coordinates and priorities to your inspection team.
Clear Findings for Your Network
Turn detected changes into a consistent spatial record for operational review.
- Georeferenced change locations
- Before-and-after image extracts
- Observation dates and feature descriptions
- Review priorities and supporting context
- GIS-compatible files: formats agreed per project
Choose the Right Monitoring Approach
Baseline assessment
Record visible objects and conditions in a defined corridor.
Repeat monitoring
Compare observations at agreed intervals and review new changes.
Fit Satellite Insights into Your Workflow
Use corridor findings alongside asset registers, GIS layers and field observations.

Your Questions Answered
What changes can be identified?
New objects and surface changes can be reviewed within an agreed corridor. Detectable features depend on sensor resolution, image quality and the feature classes defined for the project.
How often can a corridor be reviewed?
The review interval depends on the monitoring scope and the availability of suitable imagery. We agree a practical observation and reporting schedule during scoping.
Can results be integrated into our GIS?
Yes. We agree the file formats, coordinate reference system and attributes with your team so findings can be used alongside network and asset information.
Do satellites replace field inspections?
Satellite findings help focus inspections and support operational review. They do not confirm a hazard by themselves and should be assessed with appropriate field observations.
What route data do you need?
Route geometry, the corridor width, relevant asset information and your monitoring priorities provide a starting point. We can review available data with your team.
How do clouds affect monitoring?
Radar data form the basis of observations, as clouds and illumination conditions can limit optical imagery. The choice of data depends on the features and conditions to be assessed.
Coverage and detectable detail depend on imagery, terrain and the agreed scope.
