Using 3D GIS to Facilitate Intersection Design
Track: Geodesign

Intersection design plays an important role in traffic safety at the Intersection. Combining 3D with GIS can take advantage of both technologies’ strength. A pilot project was done to use 3D GIS to facilitate the intersection design. CityEngine was used to create the 3D intersection and vehicles. Then, the 3D data was imported into ArcGIS Pro and analyzed by 3D Analysis tools. The analysis results were visualized in 3D in ArcGIS Pro, which can help engineers improve the current intersection.
