Analytics and modeling of underground infrastructure in Chicago

City Digital, a Chicago-based UI LABS collaboration, announced it has developed the underlying technology components to create a new underground infrastructure mapping (UIM) platform. The platform will generate, organize, visualize, and store 3D underground infrastructure data, saving cities and utilities millions of dollars in construction and planning processes.The platform, currently in its pilot stage, is being actively deployed in Chicago, using a street in the city's downtown-located River North neighborhood as the testing grounds for the new technology.
