Towards a 3D GIS for Underground Infrastructure

Abstract

The use of advanced software tools for groundwater management is essential to carry out the management of these underground infrastructure. Tools capable of accomplishing these processes are the so-called 3D GIS. However, these systems are not widely implemented, mainly because of their complexity. In this paper we present the data model of an underground infrastructure for city sanitation management. It discusses the design of the database, the acquisition and processing of such information, as well as the visualization and interaction with the resulting model.
