Nottingham City Council is a step closer to achieving its vision of creating a digital twin for the city. In what’s believed to be a UK first they are combining the intricate, rich MetroVista 3D mesh with existing photogrammetric 3D modelling within the same application. This enables the visualisation of new developments in an immersive ...

Na stronach Rządowego Centrum Legislacji pojawił się projekt zmiany rozporządzenia Ministra Rozwoju i Technologii, który stawia ważny krok w kierunku standaryzacji tworzonych zbiorów danych przestrzennych.

Jego celem jest aktualizacja oraz rozszerzenie regulacji w zakresie tworzenia zbiorów obejmujących ...

The Austrian government introduced the Electricity Industry and Organization Act (ElWOG) two years ago, leading to the creation of a map of locations with available grid capacity for solar. The ElWOG require grid operators to be transparent about grid-connection capacity. Oesterreich Energie will update the map on a quarterly basis, by using reports from Austrian ...

Bakanlık orman yangınlarıyla mücadelede üst düzey teknolojik sistemlerden faydalanarak projeler geliştiriyor. Bu kapsamda, Orman Genel Müdürlüğü ve özel sektör işbirliğiyle yapay zeka destekli “Yangın Risk Yönetimi Projesi” uygulanıyor. Projeyle orman yangınlarının önceden tahmin edilebilmesine yönelik çalışmalar yapılarak bu bölgelerde gerekli önlemler alınmaya çalışılıyor. Çeşitli faktörler göz önünde bulundurularak geliştirilen projeyle meteorolojik veriler, bitki örtüsü, topografya, ...

The U.S. government lifted certain restrictions on commercial remote sensing satellite companies on Monday. The changes came from NOAA’s Commercial Remote Sensing Regulatory Affairs (CRSRA) office, which is a division of the Office of Space Commerce. CRSA said restrictions in place kept companies from offering their full capabilities to the public. In 2020, CRSA changed ...

China’s Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) has newly launched the city’s first and one of the world’s largest satellite manufacturing facilities, known as AMC. The facility revealed to the Global Times in an exclusive interview that their first made-in-Hong Kong, high-quality satellite would hopefully be delivered by the beginning of 2024. Referred also as ...

The first GLONASS-K2 satellite finally reached the launch status in the middle of 2023, or a decade behind the original schedule. At the end of July 2023, the adminstration of the Safronovskoe settlement in the Lensk District in the Arkhangelsk Region (Oblast) posted a letter from the Deputy Commander of the Russian Space Forces, VKS, ...

The solution combines NextNav’s reliable TerraPoiNT system with existing LTE and 5G network signals. The tests, conducted in and around San Jose, California, US, showcased the integration of TerraPoiNT signals with cellular infrastructure to deliver highly accurate 3D positioning and timing information without depending solely on traditional satellite-based GPS and GNSS signals. NextNav’s system utilises ...

Archaeologists at the University of Exeter have used laser scans collected as part of the Environment Agency’s National LiDAR Programme to identify new sections of road west of the previously understood boundary. Among the things it reveals is that far from Exeter being the main nerve centre of the network, it was North Tawton that ...

Telhados verdes têm sido apontados como uma das possíveis soluções para o combate às mudanças climáticas nas cidades. Isso porque, além de permitirem a captação de água da chuva e a produção de hortaliças no alto dos edifícios, eles também são capazes de gerar microclima, reduzindo a temperatura local e o gasto energético com refrigeração, ...

Heliconius butterflies are capable of spatial learning, scientists have discovered. The findings, published in Current Biology, also suggest Heliconius butterflies may be able to learn spatial information at large scales, consistent with the apparent importance of long-range spatial learning for traplining, which involves foraging within a home range of a few hundred square meters. Spatial ...
