The aim of this study is the estimation of solar irradiance on building roofs in complex Alpine landscapes. Very high resolution geometric models of the building roofs are generated by means of advanced automated image matching methods. Models are combined with raster and vector data sources to estimate the incoming solar radiation hitting the roofs. The methodology takes into account for atmos...

One of the most sustainable ways of improving the landscape value is the valorisation of the countryside dirt road network with the purpose of creating a greenweb, a communication system able to improve the territory attractiveness. The study assumes an axiological approach to land planning, including a qualitative valuation model and an interactive multicriteria tool based on the combination o...

Web-GIS has played an important role in supporting accesses, visualization and analysis of geospatial data over the Web for the past two decades. However, most of existing WebGIS software stacks are not able to exploit increasingly available parallel computing power and provide the desired high performance to support more complex applications on large-scale geospatial data. Built on top our pas...

Integrated use of multidisciplinary researches have been applied in the last years for the study of Aquileia archeological sites and, in particular the River Port structures. Since 1992 GPS (Global Positioning System) techniques have been adopted with the aim of linking together various independent topographic networks and georeferencing single relevant points. In 2001 a scientific cooperation ...

Based on the actual needs of the Chinese national emergency rescue base in mining areas, and in order to effectively carry out emergency rescue in coal mine disasters, this article studies the response process of emergency rescue in coal mines, the analysis and calculation methods required in the relief work for mine disasters, the functional requirements of the integrated command platform and ...
