3D GIS brings enhanced depth into data collection and analysis by incorporating a z-value into mapping. Most commonly, that means including elevation data, but users have many options for adding layers of information. While 3D models are more difficult to create and maintain than 2D ones, there are myriad 3D GIS applications where this technology is greatly beneficial. The 3D-GIS in the Cloud main purpose is to evaluate the use-efficiency of both existing and planned spatial space.

3.  Geographic Information System (GIS) is for performing
detailed analysis of spatial information and solving complex
problems. Traditional GIS data is based on mapping in two
dimensions, an x and y-value, which can be limiting in some
applications. Utilizing 3D GIS software lets users engage with
data from a whole new perspective that results in more
nuanced insights and detailed visualizations.

GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS)

4.  GIS or Geographic Information System is a computer-based
framework for gathering, managing, and analyzing
geographical data.
 GIS can be used to analyze spatial locations and convert
layers of visualizations and information using maps and 3D
scenes to create valuable data.
 GIS has proven to be valuable among businesses and decision-
makers in environmental science, realty, manufacturing,
public safety, petroleum, mining, and education.

6.  Smart cities, on one hand present a substantial growth
opportunity in the coming years while on the other offers various
challenges as well.
 Smart city projects are rather complex with residential and
commercial spaces supported by an infrastructure backbone for
power, roads, water, drainage and sewage i.e. a virtual living and
breathing city.
 A critical success factor is a need for a common technology
platform to enable integration, coordination and synergistic
functioning of different participants of the smart city ecosystem.
 A centralized information system based on GIS (Geographical
Information System) provides an IT framework which integrates
not only every stakeholder but also every aspect of smart city
processes – starting from conceptualization, planning, and
development to maintenance.

GIS FOR SMART CITIES

7.  3D GIS brings enhanced depth into data collection and
analysis by incorporating a z-value into mapping. Most
commonly, that means including elevation data, but users
have many options for adding layers of information.
 For instance, a map might include a dimension based on the
concentrations of certain chemicals and minerals or which
parcels of land are best suited for development. Working with
three dimensions, GIS professionals can often apply their
findings to address real-world issues with greater accuracy.
 While 3D models are more difficult to create and maintain
than 2D ones, there are myriad 3D GIS applications where this
technology is greatly beneficial.

WHAT IS 3D GIS?

8.  The 3D-GIS in the Cloud main purpose is to evaluate the
use-efficiency of both existing and planned spatial
space.
 The application is an information-based decision
making tool used when designing regional or
neighborhood plans, or when considering regulatory and
incentive strategies.
 The application creates a detailed Smart 3D City model
of both above and below ground structures and features.
 The model includes maps and imagery that are placed
on their exact spatial location based on their position
and elevation information.

THESE FIVE EXAMPLES DEMONSTRATE HOW
AN INVESTMENT IN 3D GIS MODELING CAN
GENERATE ADDED VALUE:

11.  Cities have a way of growing to encompass previously under- or
undeveloped areas in a process often called urbanization or
urban sprawl.
 There are many reasons behind urban sprawl, including a desire
to build improved infrastructure, affordable land or tax rates, or
overcrowding inside the city. Urban sprawl can have a major
impact on people who decide to leave the city as well as those
who remain.
 For example, as residents move farther away from the city
center, infrastructure such as roads or public transportation
systems must accommodate their commutes, and traffic can
lead to higher rates of air pollution.
 To minimize the negative impacts of urban sprawl and increased
development, it’s important for city planners to determine way to
grow urban areas.

1. CITY PLANNING

12.  Urban development needs to take into consideration today’s
requirements, potential changes in demand and the long-term
effects of building upward and outward.
 3D GIS can help planners visualize what their proposed
changes will look like and predict the outcomes for current
residents and future generations.
 A 3D model spotlighted building information, aerial photos,
energy performance, air pollution, lieder elevation data, noise
and traffic.
 The wide range of integrated information allowed architects,
planning engineers and others to collaborate effectively. As
the district develops further, the 3D model will help future
planners with energy and environmental modeling and guide
public participation initiatives.

14.  Building information modeling (BIM) is a technology that
generates digital representations of facilities and relevant
processes.
 BIM has given facilities managers the ability to closely review
structures, beginning with the construction planning phase.
 Used in conjunction with 3D GIS data, BIM can help create robust
building management plans and allow for more detailed analysis.
 BIM and 3D GIS can also come together to support
the preservation and restoration of historical buildings.
 The combination of BIM and GIS provides the necessary know-
how to build a robust model.
 The combination of 3D GIS and BIM can help produce error-free
building management plans that would eventually allow for a
more detailed analysis of data.

2. BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING

15.  Its critical for planners to understand the factors that affect
construction and maintenance for shipping ports, fisheries,
mineral mining operations and wilderness preservation areas.
 Responsible coastal development must be informed by
underwater topography, local vegetation and predictions for the
long-term environmental impact.
 Resource planning systems that draw on GIS can provide
insights into the economic, environmental and cultural
results of activities along the coast.
 When preparing for the extraction of resources on the
coastline, organizations benefit from synthesizing information
like:
Findings from 3D GIS mapping that suggest the likely outcomes
of dredging material in the water
Lidar topographical surveys
Data sets from past extraction activities
Trends in coastal change YASH SHAH
3. COASTAL MODELING AND ANALYSIS

16.  Planning a wind farm requires a detailed analysis of an
environment and the potential effects of the structures.
 By using 3D GIS modeling, planners and other stakeholders
can get a better idea of the impact from wind farm
development on wildlife and people.
 For example, when assessing possible wind farm locations in
two dimensions, a bird’s migratory path might make a
location seem inaccessible.
 However, reviewing that same space using 3D GIS data, may
reveal that the elevation of birds’ flight paths and the height
of the wind farm are compatible.

17.  3D GIS can help people and societies better handle natural
disasters. In case of a calamity, detailed mapping may give a
broad idea to disaster response teams by making them aware
of the environment they would be dealing in.
 This would also include providing information like:
Proper coordinates of the point of action and the best route to
reach
Detail of the area including the type of terrain
An alternative route for proper evacuation

21.  3D GIS provide urban designers and planners with a useful
tool for modeling and analysis.
 GIS is an ideal technology that has the ability to scale across
any expanse, from the individual asset within a building to a
virtually global context tying all aspects of a Smart City
planning and development.
 The 3D GIS application was developed in order to evaluate
urban space efficiently and to provide information about
urban planning to local communities.
