Digital city modelling
Modern solar potential analyzes allow the evaluation of facade surfaces and the consideration of shading effects from buildings, vegetation and terrain. As the jointly developed solution of TUM and Virtual City Systems GmbH shows, the potentials can be balanced monthly and displayed and evaluated for each individual building.
Digital Building Information and Modeling (BIM)
The new worlds of Building Information Modeling (IFC) and Urban Information Modeling (CityGML) are growing together, as demonstrated by the visualization of BIM models in the context of the semantic 3D city model of Berlin by Virtual City Systems GmbH.
Application (Mobility, Environment and Housing)
Web-based 3D city models, as shown here in the example of Rotterdam, can be expanded into data hubs and can be linked to real-time sensor systems for traffic events.
Aim of this course
This training program shows how interdisciplinary solutions can be combined to create a virtual city model – the digital twin. The Digital Twin serves as a basis for decisions regarding sustainability, security and quality of life in the built environment.
- Presentation of innovative methods from the fields of civil engineering, geoinformation and urban planning
- Assessing digital networking opportunities and emerging new business models
- Getting to know digital methods of analysis across themes and scales
- Development of individual solution strategies for complex urban issues
- Building a network for future activities
Executives and project managers working in town planning and architecture
Employees responsible for planning at communal institution
Experts within the fields of Smart City, measurement and geoinformation
Participants should have relevant work experience of at least 2 years and ideally a higher education degree or a degree from a university of applied sciences.
