| Traffic Conditions | •Go out as early as 6 a.m. •End before 5 p.m. •Survey city centers during weekends & holidays |
| Weather Conditions | •No survey during rain & after rain •Drive 60 km/h on highways to avoid overheating, 40 km/h on normal roads •10 minute stops every 20 minutes survey if overheat |
| Processing Large Data | •~60 projects to be completed process within 5 months •Each project takes about 2-3 days for end to end process •6 personnel working 24/7 shift using 6 Trident Imaging Hub |
