Challenge
Within the European Union, eGovernment has become an increasingly prioritized project. eGoverment presents tremendous opportunities to save coast and make regional authorities more efficient through streamlined self-service communications with citizens. Here are some examples of challenges for the authorities in communication with citizens:
- Complicated and time consuming to access to information about property, city information, building plans, location of sewage, power lines
- Long process for approval of new building projects
- Difficult to understand the impact of a large infrastructure or building projects. There is often only a wooden model of the project in exhibition
- Maps of the city region or new projects are not attractive or accessible to citizens.
Solution
Agency9 3DMaps is a powerful web-based solution to visualise all GIS information ie height model, 3D buildings, 3D models, shapes. 3D models are proven to be easier to understand and encourage users to explore. The solution is tested in the mass market through the yellow pages sector. All common OS, platforms and browsers are supported. The solution is a window to the data that most authorities already hold. Data can be presented as an overlay on a map. The solution can be integrated into existing legacy systems and data registers.
Images, 360 photos, documents can be cross-referenced to the map.
