Mangaluru to Conduct 3D Digital Twin Drone Survey

The Mangaluru City Corporation has announced plans to conduct a 3D digital twin drone survey aimed at enhancing urban planning and development initiatives. This innovative survey method involves using drones equipped with advanced technology to create detailed three-dimensional models and maps of the city's infrastructure, buildings, and topography.

The primary objective of the 3D digital twin survey is to improve the accuracy and efficiency of urban planning processes in Mangaluru. By leveraging drone technology, the civic body aims to gather precise data on spatial dimensions, geographical features, and structural conditions of various areas within the city limits.

The digital twin models generated from the survey will serve as virtual replicas of Mangaluru's physical environment, facilitating better decision-making in infrastructure development, disaster management, and environmental conservation efforts. This technology-driven approach is expected to streamline urban governance and optimise resource allocation for sustainable development.

The initiative underscores Mangaluru City Corporation's commitment to embracing technological innovations to address urban challenges and enhance the quality of life for its residents. By harnessing the power of 3D digital twin technology, the civic body aims to foster smart growth and resilience in urban infrastructure planning and management.

The upcoming drone survey represents a significant step towards modernising urban planning practices in Mangaluru, aligning with global trends in smart city development and digital transformation initiatives. It is poised to set a benchmark for leveraging drone technology for comprehensive city mapping and infrastructure management in India.
