1Spatial Technology makes German Mapping Authorities 40% faster
1Spatial automated map generalisation resulting in a 40 percent improvement in production time, from five to three years, for the participating members of AdV, the committee that coordinates surveying and mapping in Germany. AdV had previously worked to a five year production cycle for all of its high quality map products. However, this was no longer meeting the demands of customers who required information to be updated more regularly, and in shorter periods. Twelve of the 16 AdV members states decided to develop an automatic process to speed up production and reduce manual effort, and founded the IP-ATKIS-Gen project group. 1Spatial was selected as the IP-ATKIS-Gen partner for one of the largest generalisation projects in Europe. Together the two organisations developed an automated, “context-aware” solution using 1Spatial’s experience and software tools. https://1spatial.com/

KDDI and Terra Drone have announced completion of inventing “4G LTE control system”
KDDI and Terra Drone have announced completion of inventing “4G LTE control system”, the system allows operators to control drones via LTE network. This system also helps drone businesses by managing the information on each drone and operator and providing detailed flight logs of each flight. Flight plans will be created via the system by setting altitude of each optional flight point and flight forms between the points on an online map. During the flight, control instructions based on the flight plan are transmitted to a drone through LTE network. Automatic flights following set flight plans are not the only things this system can do. This system allows operators to watch real-time flights images through “Live View Area” in order to control drones remotely by sight.
