Traditionally, rendering detailed models can be time-consuming, especially when it comes to large-scale projects. Knepfl\u00e9 said that in recent months they have been able to speed up the start-up and saving of projects, which also allows larger projects to run smoothly. The renewed 3D web view has now also been improved for the higher zoom levels, which is particularly noticeable because details are displayed more smoothly. According to Knepfl\u00e9, this update is a major step forward: <em>\u201cI had a new record on my mobile phone, I could load the entire Netherlands into the web viewer and scroll through it.\u201d<\/em><\/p><p>The practical applications of such a system are legion. An example of this is the possibility to calculate the impact of a so-called \u2018Limburg shower\u2019, a scenario with extreme rainfall of, for example, 100 mm of precipitation in a short period of time. With SimNL, cities and water boards can accurately predict where flooding will occur, how long areas will remain under water, and which infrastructural measures are needed to limit damage. But a combination with real-time data is also conceivable. <em>&#8220;For example, you can connect Buienradar to it and immediately calculate the impact of an approaching rain shower. People can then immediately warn and help to prevent a disaster like the one in Spain.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section

important theme during the session was the role of AI in improving data analysis and accuracy. Knepfl\u00e9 described how AI makes it possible to recognize patterns in the available data and detect errors. For example, in order to perform meaningful analyses in the absence of detailed data for certain areas, a model such as the Tygron Platform can \u201cautomatically recognize heathland, forest, sand, meadows, or other features based on satellite images.\u201d<\/p><p>Tygron also looks beyond the Netherlands. The platform offers worldwide support for analyses, partly through the use of open data sources such as ESRI&#8217;s global elevation map and OpenStreetMap. This allows users anywhere in the world to start spatial analyses based on the same standards and insights that have been developed in the Netherlands. As Knepfl\u00e9 summarized: <em>&#8220;If you can use that to build your environment with some smart algorithms, that is very useful.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tygron.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Heel-NL-doorrekenen_Maxim-Knepfle.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Download presentation<\/a><\/span> (PDF format)<\/p><p><em>This presentation contains a number of links to projects.
