These crashes usually happen when drivers lose control and collide with obstacles such as trees, signposts, or gantries. A recent master’s thesis at Z_GIS presents [...]
Discrete Global Grid Systems
Discrete Global Grid Systems sind blattschnittfreie, erdumspannende Raster in hierarchisch organisierten Maßstabsebenen. Sie basieren auf die Kugelform der Erde annähernde Körper mit ebenen Flächen (Polyeder) und dienen zur Integration und Analyse großer, globaler Datensätze. Hier erfahren Sie mehr...
