CartoConsult delivers instant smart city models with web streaming

CartoConsult has added a subscription service that delivers smart 3D building and city models via live web streaming to any internet connected device. Using Cesiumjs, a cross-platform open architecture, dynamic-data visualisation package which requires no plug-in to run in a web browser, CartoConsult believes the new web streaming capability will significantly boost the appeal of applying 3D capability to projects.

CartoConsult has added a subscription service that delivers smart 3D building and city models via live web streaming to any internet connected device.

Using Cesiumjs, a cross-platform open architecture, dynamic-data visualisation package which requires no plug-in to run in a web browser, CartoConsult believes the new web streaming capability will significantly boost the appeal of applying 3D capability to projects.

Potential users such as urban planners, developers and engineers will no longer need special software to view the models. The data is still fully compatible with GIS, CAD and other mapping software with 3D capabilities, but it is no longer a requirement for viewing the data.

    Phil Harris, Thales UK, on how fused sensor data can significantly enhance GNSS-based positioning systems' performance in urban areas. Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-based positioning is unique among available positioning technology due to its universal coverage and low equipment cost. By measuring the distances between an unknown position (such as a vehicle), and at least three known positions (GPS satellites), the unknown position can be calculated in three dimensions (latitude, longitude, and

  • Getting more for less from traffic data
    August 15, 2012
    Collection of traffic and transit data has grown significantly, combining with advances in connectivity and computational modelling to good effect. Desire to do more with less – to make budgets go further – has helped create a boom in the collection and study of traffic and transport data. Studies are becoming longer, greater in number and further in-depth as more intelligence is sought, plus, transportation agencies are looking to make processes of data collection less costly, or more efficient.
