3D data platform optimizes transport and infrastructure projects
iNovitas and Geoinfra Ingenieure have created a digital twin of the road network in the Zurich Oberland. They are making around 800 kilometers of roads available in a high-resolution 3D data platform. Interested planners and decision-makers can license the data.
INovitas AG, based in Baden, and Geoinfra Ingenieure AG, based in Wetzikon, have created a digital twin of the road network in the Zurich Oberland. According to a joint press release, around 800 kilometers of roads will be available in the high-resolution infra3D data platform. Interested user groups can license the data with immediate effect and use it for their planning and decision-making processes, according to the press release.
The two companies have mapped the road networks of the municipalities of Bäretswil, Bauma, Bubikon, Dürnten, Fehraltorf, Fischenthal, Gossau, Greifensee, Grüningen, Hittnau, Hombrechtikon, Männedorf, Mönchaltorf, Oetwil a.S., Russikon, Rüti, Seegräben, Stäfa, Uetikon a. S, Wald, Wetzikon, Wila and Wildberg are digitized. The project provides the Zurich Oberland region with a precise and up-to-date basis for traffic, urban and spatial planning. This means that data-based simulations can be improved and on-site inspections can be reduced.
“Data is the basis for well-founded decisions”, comments Hannes Eugster, CEO and founder of iNovitas AG, in the press release. “With the digital mapping of the Zurich Oberland region, we are providing a precise and immediately available database that can be used by a wide range of stakeholders – whether for transport planning, infrastructure projects or urban development.”
Patrick König, member of the management board of Geoinfra Ingenieure AG, emphasizes the importance of the digital project: “Access to georeferenced, high-resolution 3D data represents a paradigm shift for infrastructure planning. Our collaboration with iNovitas enables administrations and companies in the Zurich Oberland region to benefit from data-driven, efficient and sustainable planning”.
