iNovitas and Geoinfra have digitized the road network in the Zurich Oberland

(CONNECT) iNovitas AG, based in Baden, and Geoinfra Ingenieure AG, based in Wetzikon, have created a digital twin of the road network in the Zurich Oberland. According to a joint press release, around 800 kilometers of roads will be available in the high-resolution infra3D data platform. Interested user groups can now license the data and use it for their planning and decision-making processes, according to the press release.

The two companies have digitized the road network of the municipalities of Bäretswil, Bauma, Bubikon, Dürnten, Fehraltorf, Fischenthal, Gossau, Greifensee, Grüningen, Hittnau, Hombrechtikon, Männedorf, Mönchaltorf, Oetwil a.S., Russikon, Rüti, Seegräben, Stäfa, Uetikon a. S, Wald, Wetzikon, Wila and Wildberg have been digitized. The project provides the Zurich Oberland region with a precise and up-to-date basis for transport, urban and spatial planning. This allows data-based simulations to be improved and on-site inspections to be reduced.

"Data is the basis for well-founded decisions," Hannes Eugster, CEO and founder of iNovitas AG, is quoted as saying in the press release. "With the digital survey of the Zurich Oberland region, we are providing a precise and immediately available database that can be used by a wide range of stakeholders - whether for transport planning, infrastructure projects or urban development."

Patrick König, member of the management board of Geoinfra Ingenieure AG, emphasizes the importance of the digital project: "Access to georeferenced, high-resolution 3D data represents a paradigm shift for infrastructure planning. Our collaboration with iNovitas enables administrations and companies in the Zurich Oberland region to benefit from data-driven, efficient and sustainable planning". ce/ww
