Southeast Asian Motorcycle Traffic Image Dataset
Dense, real-world motorbike traffic from the streets of Southeast Asia, captured by people on the ground, not simulated.
On request: this dataset is produced to your specification after you order. Typically 1–2 weeks for 500 images and 3–5 weeks for 2,000, depending on scene requirements.
Pricing
Fixed prices for standard packages, produced to your spec. Pick a package and a license to see the exact total, or ask for a custom quote.

Overview
Most public driving datasets are recorded in Europe, North America or China, where cars dominate the road. In much of Southeast Asia, motorbikes outnumber cars many times over, weave through intersections in dense clusters, carry passengers and cargo, and share the road with street vendors and pedestrians.
This dataset captures that reality with smartphone photos taken at street level: rush hour, rain, night, intersections, roundabouts, alleys and market streets. Every image is shot by a person, reviewed by a person and processed to remove personal data before delivery.
Sample photos
Real photos from this topic, shown at reduced resolution. Full-resolution samples are emailed on request.

Use cases
Two-wheeler detection
Train or fine-tune object detectors (YOLO, DETR, RT-DETR) on dense scenes where motorbikes overlap and occlude each other.
ADAS & autonomous driving
Close the domain gap for driver-assistance systems that must operate in motorbike-heavy Southeast Asian traffic.
Smart city analytics
Traffic counting, congestion analysis and helmet-usage studies from camera networks.
Vision-language models
Add human-written captions describing traffic situations to train or evaluate VLMs on underrepresented regions.

Frequently asked questions
Are the license plates and faces visible?
No. Plates and identifiable faces are blurred before delivery, and every image is reviewed by a person who blurs anything that was missed.
Can you collect specific scenes, such as night rain or a particular city?
Yes. Describe the scenes, conditions and quantity you need in a request and we will reply with matching sample photos and a quote.
Do you provide bounding-box annotations?
Bounding boxes can be added on request. Tell us the class list you need and we will include it in the quote.
Is this data synthetic or generated?
No. Every image is an original smartphone photo taken by a person. No generative AI is used to create or alter image content.
How does ordering and payment work?
Create a free account and place your order on this page; nothing is charged online. Our team contacts you to confirm the spec and invoices a 50% deposit, with the balance due on final delivery. The deposit is refunded in full if we cannot deliver the agreed spec.
What is the difference between non-exclusive and Exclusive?
With Research or Commercial we may license the images produced for your order to other buyers later. With Exclusive they are never licensed to anyone else or added to our catalog.
Can I order a different quantity or extra annotations?
Yes. Request a custom quote with the quantity, annotations and deadline you need. Prices per record fall as quantity grows.
Why is a bundle so much cheaper per image than a single image?
A bundle is planned and collected as one job, so capture, review and privacy processing cost far less per photo. Single images are priced for buyers who need just a few specific photos.
Need a variation?
Different topics, languages, difficulty, quantity or labels? Describe it and we reply within 48 hours with matching samples and a quote.
