VC Suite
Camptocamp’s Partnership with Virtual City Systems
In partnership with Virtual City Systems, Camptocamp combines its Open Source geospatial expertise with their tools for managing and distributing 3D models. As an integration and contributing partner, Camptocamp delivers a solution for building geographic digital twins, helping cities and corporations improve infrastructure management and planning. Camptocamp also supports the ongoing development of these Open Source tools for various use cases.
VC Suite from Virtual City Systems is a software solution designed for managing, visualizing, and analyzing 3D city models and geospatial data.
Key Components of the VC Suite
VC Database is a powerful system for managing and querying CityGML and geospatial data, enabling secure import, export, and updates of 3D models. It integrates with tools like VC Publisher and VC WFS, allowing seamless querying and transformation of large datasets across regions and organizations.
VC Publisher processes geospatial data, including terrain models and orthophotos, to publish interactive maps online. It integrates with VC Database and VC Map for real-time updates, making it ideal for large organizations managing extensive geospatial data.
VC Map is an Open Source platform for visualizing and analyzing 3D models on the web, combining 2D, 3D, and aerial imagery for spatial analyses. It offers a flexible framework for infrastructure management and planning, empowering regions and corporations to adapt it to their needs. Camptocamp uses VC Map in various projects.
VC Planner integrates with VC Map to provide advanced urban and infrastructure planning, enabling the drafting and simulation of architectural models in 3D. It is essential for visualizing large-scale developments, helping decision-makers assess project impacts before implementation.
Comprehensive Management for Regions, Corporations, and Public Institutions
Camptocamp’s Geographic Digital Twin solution, in collaboration with Virtual City Systems, provides a complete framework for managing large-scale environments, from cities and regions to national infrastructure. With the Open Source foundation of VC Map and tools like VC Database for data management and VC Publisher for seamless map distribution, this solution enables the creation of innovative, data-driven use cases tailored to specific infrastructure challenges.
Camptocamp can assist in deploying these tools within your IT environment, integrating your geospatial data, and developing custom use cases that align with your unique requirements. Additionally, we can support your development team in addressing their 3D development challenges to facilitate collaboration and enhancement of the solution. This ensures that the VC Suite meets the evolving needs of your infrastructure, planning, and management processes.
Examples
Solar cadaster
In the Rennes Métropole solar potential project, the digital twin technology was used to simulate and analyze the solar energy potential of buildings within the city. By creating a 3D model of the urban environment, stakeholders could assess rooftops' suitability for solar panel installation, optimize energy generation, and support the city's renewable energy goals. This tool helped decision-makers visualize the impact of solar energy projects, allowing for more informed planning and promoting sustainable development in the region.
Electromagnetic wave cadaster
In the Rennes Métropole project, digital twin technology was used to enhance citizen engagement and transparency by simulating and documenting electromagnetic waves. This tool visualized both simulated and measured wave propagation across urban areas and cataloged the sources of electromagnetic emissions. The digital twin allowed residents to access clear, transparent information about wave sources and their potential impacts, fostering informed public discussions and increasing trust in the deployment of infrastructure related to telecommunications and other wave-emitting equipment.
Public transportation planification
In the Rennes Métropole TRAMBUS project, the digital twin was used to simulate the future integration of the electric trambus network into the urban landscape. By creating a virtual replica of the city's infrastructure, this tool helped planners and decision-makers visualize the impact of the new T1 and T2 lines, optimize routes, and anticipate potential issues. The digital twin facilitated collaboration among stakeholders, providing a clearer understanding of how the transport system would interact with the city's environment and improve mobility for residents.
