Planning power transmission lines has never been easier Our 3D Decision Support System (3D DSS) helps urban planners and decision-makers to plan power transmission lines. We use latest 3D technology combined with Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to do research in how transparency can be fostered and acceptance can be increased when communicating a grid expansion project to involved stakeholders and to the public.
We are pleased that Daniele Moncecchi @DanieleMonce from Politecnico di Milano will write his Master’s thesis as part of the 3D DSS project, aiming at answering the question: What is a valley? The novel approach should keep transmission line paths short and the negative impact on landscape and environment low.
