Sentinel-1 Satellite Imagery Based Ice Road Detection and Monitoring

Canada’s northern ice roads in winter which is more than 3300 miles are freezing later and melting earlier, drastically reducing the forecasting capabilities for the safe use. An attractive Area of Interest (AoI) could be around the region “Yellowknife” in Canada, which is also mentioned in the recent TV show (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_Road_Truckers). This area could be used to train the algorithm to detect the current situation and to forecast the time window to close and open the ice tracks to the citizens. Mockup could be achieved by building a screenshot mockup on mobile device (Smartphone/Tablet).
