Title : Strategic Spatial Visualization and Interactive Decision Simulation
Project Lead : Julia Forster
From : Vienna University of Technology (Austria)
Dates : from -- to 2014-01-22 11:02:33
Description : Motivation and objectives :
3D visualization and 4D simulation for a holisitic city model (case study: Vienna) supporting the development of planning strategies for energy- and mobility awareness planning (decision simulation - decision support systems - planning support systems).
Objectives:
- Finding new ways how to deal with complex, different aggregated data sets in combination with a 3D visualization.
- Exploring new methods (technique of modelling and implementation of data) for fast, interactive multi-scale models (from an urban overview to a detailed house)
- Understanding which and how different data sets need to be visualized and combined in order to generate an added value for energy-consious urban planning strategies.
- Exploring new ways in the context of interactive modelling for collaborative and participative planning processes (team-oriented decision making for lay-persons, experts and none-experts) using different interaction modi (tracking, haptic perception, etc.)

Recordings & Results :
Goal of this project is to support the development of planning strategies for energy- and mobility awareness planning (decision simulation - decision support systems - planning support systems) using 3D visualization and 4D simulation for a holisitic city model (case study: Vienna). Challanges are to vizualize diverse linked data sets on different scales; reducing complexity of the model while at the same time generating useful simulation outcomes; parametrization and aggregation of data.
Conclusions :
The COVISE osgEarth-PlugIn was investigated in detail as an approach for required fuctionality. Even though the osgEarth-PlugIn was enhanced in functionality, the general osgEarth data structure unfortunately removes granularity of data read into the module, which is required for further analysis and manipulation of the data by the user. A 3D visualization with user data sets was achieved. User and host will continue the work, designing and implementing a specific interface to a PostgreSQL GIS database used in the users project.
