Summary
This report is the result of COST Action
TU1206 Working Group 2, Work package 2.3, and focusses on 3D urban subsurface
modelling and visualization. The major aims of this report are: 1) evaluating
current techniques and identify good practices / best efforts in 3D geological
modelling and visualization of the urban subsurface, based on case studies, and
2) co-developing (subsurface specialists & model users) requirements for
optimal use of 3D geological modelling information in specific planning and
policy contexts.
Three major topics have
been considered:
• Constructing and
maintaining 3D urban geological models
• Modelling man-made ground
• Visualizing 3D urban
subsurface model results To improve the use of subsurface modelling in urban
planning in the future, the following challenges have been identified:
• The complexity of the
urban subsurface, including man-made ground, combined with the level of detail
of information asked for in many urban planning issues demand that geologists
look beyond their traditional data sources.
• Combined 3D property
modelling of the small-scale heterogeneity of man-made deposits and natural
deposits requires new modelling approaches.
• Management of the shallow urban subsurface
requires model tools that can be frequently updated to reflect the frequently
changing properties and functions of the urban subsurface.
• There is a need for dynamic (4D) urban
subsurface models that can be used for real-time monitoring and incorporation
of time-series data on subsurface properties.
• It would be
cost-effective to have an actively maintained, scalable geological framework
model of a city available that forms a common basis for the various kinds of
dedicated models of parts of the city.
• To give subsurface information a firm
position in urban planning and management, geological information will have to
be presented in the right format, and at the right time. It is absolutely
necessary to include the subsurface infrastructure and to combine the model
with above-ground information.
