Experience power line planning in an interactive 3D environment that brings spatial impacts to life.
The 3D DSS offers an immersive virtual environment where users can explore the spatial context of planned power transmission lines. By visualizing routes in realistic 3D landscapes, planners and stakeholders gain a clear impression of how different options affect the environment, the landscape, and surrounding communities — supporting better understanding and more informed decisions.

Efficient Multi-Path Routing
This transformative project enables rapid identification of Pareto-optimal routing alternatives, allowing stakeholders to focus on the most relevant solutions and streamline decision-making.

Blogbeitrag Swissgrid
Wie das 3D DSS funktioniert, soll kein Geheimnis sein. Aus diesem Grund haben Joshu Jullier (Swissgrid) und Joram Schito (ETH Zürich) ein Video erstellt, das die Funktionsweise des 3D DSS in einfachen Worten erkärt. Der daraus entstandene Blogbeitrag fasst das Projekt zusammen und gibt darüber Aufschluss, wie ein optimaler Korridor für eine neue Hochspannungsleitung gefunden…

New 3D DSS version launched
We implemented many new features that support the analysis of different corridors and paths. For example, defining a scenario is now based on objectives that a user wants to pursue. The 3D DSS automatically computes, to what extent the objectives have been fulfilled and shows these results graphically in a spider chart and on a…

New Master’s Thesis starting in September 2019
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.

Study about new decision model running
Happy new year! The 3D DSS project is looking forward to achieve ambitious goals this year! Thus, we are looking for transmission line planners who are willing to fill out a questionnaire regarding our decision model. Please find more information here or participate directly in our questionnaire in English or German.
