Abstract
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) allow calculating and visualizing power line corridors in 3D. However, existing approaches are limited to overhead lines. The goal of this project is therefore to develop an inte-grative approach that models overhead lines and underground cables taking into account geological, infrastructural, ecological, as well as socio-economic aspects and to integrate the algorithm into an existing 3D web-GIS-platform – the 3D Decision Support System (3D DSS) of ETH Zurich.
