Automating various land resources development and planning services using MapAki platform offered by CES

FY 2022-23

Summary
Services provided by CES move the traditional paradigm away from static paper maps and data management. Instead, they offer MapAki to create and deliver unique interactive web maps. This research project will attempt to associate multi-layered artificial intelligence empowered services to redesign and rebrand MapAki. Firstly, this project will use up-to-date visuals collected from the drones to generate 3D models for informed land use planning and development of a community for resource optimization, maintenance work, and capacity building. Furthermore, this project will focus on community-centric data analysis supporting tools (e.g., multi-layer data searches, generating personalised reports, heatmaps, and proximity analysis) that can facilitate the already existing services to a great extent by attracting a wide range of clients and increasing sales. Finally, the project will support next-generation 911 emergency responders by automating the identification and prediction of fire, flood, and evacuation routes through drone-based real-time visuals. A number of HQPs (supporting EDI) will be trained through this research project that will increase the capacity of Northern Ontario in the related research field.
