The Fulda-Main-Leitung project uses an innovative 3D mapping application to visualise the planning of power lines, enhancing stakeholder engagement and transparency. The tool integrates geospatial data, making complex planning details accessible to the public and stakeholders, thus improving decision-making and reducing resistance.
Highlights
01
Realistic 3D views of power line routes and tower locations, offering an immersive experience that enhances stakeholder comprehension.
02
Engages property owners and residents from the start, allowing them to provide feedback through georeferenced notes, ensuring transparency and collaboration.
03
The application can be used with a 3D headset at events for an immersive experience or accessed online from home for personal exploration.
Main Information
The Fulda-Main-Leitung project’s 3D mapping application was developed to facilitate transparent infrastructure planning by visualising power line routes and their impact on the environment and communities. The application offers an intuitive platform for all stakeholders, from property owners to environmental agencies, ensuring they have a clear understanding of the project’s implications.
The project’s primary goal is to minimise negative impacts on people, nature, and the environment by integrating local knowledge and environmental considerations from the outset. The tool combines geographical, environmental, and infrastructure data, allowing planners to explore multiple scenarios and their effects on the landscape.
The application’s user-friendly interface supports georeferenced notetaking, enabling stakeholders to provide direct input, which planners can review and incorporate. This interactive feedback mechanism has already improved public understanding and acceptance.
The 3D tool can be accessed with a VR headset at public events, providing an immersive experience, or viewed online for detailed exploration. Its scalability and adaptability make it a valuable resource for future infrastructure projects, enhancing transparency and supporting informed decision-making.
