Suwon Wins Excellence Award in Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's '3D Landscape Deliberation Technology Contest'

[Suwon Ilbo = Reporter Seo Dong-young] Suwon City announced on the 3rd that it won the Excellence Award at the "3D Landscape Deliberation Technology Contest" hosted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport by submitting "3D Landscape Simulation Designing the Future."

For the first time this year, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport held a "3D Landscape Deliberation Technology Contest" open to anyone, including public institutions, private companies, individuals, and organizations. The purpose is to encourage the utilization and development of landscape management technology using 3D spatial information and to revitalize related industries.

Winning entries were selected through presentation and judging, which included program demonstrations and work explanations.

Suwon City received recognition for the excellence of its 3D platform service (3D Spatial Information Utilization System). "3D spatial information" is information technology that implements three-dimensional space with high resolution similar to reality, going beyond flat photographs (2D).

The "3D Spatial Information Utilization System," constructed in 2014 using high-precision aerial photographs, images, and numerical maps, is a program capable of three-dimensional analysis of solar access and views, facility location conditions, altitude restriction analysis, and urban landscape analysis. It is being utilized in various administrative tasks including urban landscape management, construction operations, flood disaster prevention, and Suwon Hwaseong tourism.

Park Byeong-kyou, head of the Land Information Division at Suwon City, stated, "The scope of applications for 3D spatial information platforms utilizing digital twin technology is expanding," and added, "We will actively support the use of 3D spatial information systems when making policy decisions."

Digital twin refers to a platform that collects, analyzes, and visualizes urban data based on 3D geographic information in real-time and operates it in conjunction with mobile services such as smartphones, providing ultra-high-precision 3D geographic information services.
