    Abstract : With the evolution of cartography from hand-drawn to digital maps, the task of icon placement has become increasingly complex. Nowadays there is a need to automate this process to produce high quality results in less time. READ MORE

  4. 3. Compact Digital Track Maps: Enhancing Train Traveller Information at the Crossing of Accuracy and Availability : A comparative analysis of algorithms for generating compact representations of railway tracks

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Adam Andersson; [2023]
    Keywords : Train positioning; Digital track map; Digital map generation; Position measurement; Global navigation satellite system; Cartography; Tågpositionering; Digitala spårkartor; Generering av digitala kartor; Positionsmätning; Satellitnavigation; Kartograf;

    Abstract : Trains are constrained to the railway tracks they operate on. This can be leveraged for absolute train positioning, where a train’s position can be mapped onto a digital track map (DTM). Extensive research has been dedicated to enhancing the accuracy of DTMs. READ MORE

  5. 4. Hydrological modelling and flood risk in a data scarce country: Matola, Mozambique

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Tanja Sellick; [2020]
    Keywords : hydrological modelling; flood hazard; TFM-DYN; climate change; Matola; Mozambique; data scarcity; pluvial flooding; flood risk.; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Flooding is a frequent natural hazard globally that is capable of major damage to society. The hazard is especially prevalent in Mozambique, in which many flood events with negative effects have occurred. Disaster risk management and research is therefore important in the country. However, as a developing country, it is subject to data scarcity. READ MORE

  6. 5. Visualizing the third dimension : map guidelines for a 3D detailed development plan

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Stephanie Elizabeth Judge; [2019]
    Keywords : physical geography and ecosystem analysis; 3D Visualization; public participation; map guidelines; detailed development plan; sustainable development; geomatics; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Public participation during urban development is key for setting a project up for success and for supporting sustainable growth, but current detailed development plans available in paper-based 2D format are difficult for the public to understand. The literature has shown that the introduction of 3D visualizations can improve citizens’ understanding of a plan proposal; however, moving from static 2D to digital 3D space requires effective visualization tailored to this specific application.
