The Alameda County Transportation Commission (ACTC) is looking to increase capacity and improve the flow of goods along 7th and Matitime Streets in and out of the Port of Oakland’s facilities. The proposed 7th Street Grade Separation Project will provide maximum operational flexibility for both vehicular and rail traffic.
Zephyr UAS, Inc. (ZUI) provided collection services of ortho-rectified photogrammetry and mapping in support of the environmental and preliminary engineering analysis of the proposed grade separation. This area was particularly challenging because of active railroad operations through the Union Pacific Railroad’s main track and storage yard facilities. Other rail operations include BNSF’s Oakland International Gateway and the Port’s Outer Harbor Intermodal Terminal.
ZUI’s use of survey-grade UAVs were able to provide accurate and high-definition data without disturbing vehicular or railroad operations.
