Method and system for modeling and managing terrain, buildings, and infrastructure
TLDR
In this article, a method and system for creating, using, and managing a three-dimensional digital model of the physical environment combines outdoor terrain elevation and land-use information, building placements, heights and geometries of the interior structure of buildings, along with site-specific models of components that are distributed spatially within a physical environment.Abstract:
A method and system for creating, using, and managing a three-dimensional digital model of the physical environment combines outdoor terrain elevation and land-use information, building placements, heights and geometries of the interior structure of buildings, along with site-specific models of components that are distributed spatially within a physical environment (Fig. 18). The present invention separately provides an asset management system that allows the integrated three-dimensional model of the outdoor, indoor, and distributed infrastructure equipment to communicate with and aggregate the information pertaining to actual physical components of the actual network (183), thereby providing a management system that can track the on-going performance, cost, maintenance history, and depreciation of multiple networks (189) using the site-specific unified digital format.read more
