Campus Digital Twin at York University

Prof. Gunho Sohn and the AUSMLab with the ISSUM team and Esri Canada have worked hard to create a Campus Digital Twin at York University. Using this digital twin, the teams have been studying potential usage for urban planning to address the issues related to future mobility infrastructure. One of them is to understand the safety issues when pedestrians and robots, such as side delivery robots, interact. This paper was presented at 3D GeoInfo 2023 - Technical University of Munich. Congratulations, Ali Hassan, Muhammad Usman, PhD, Melissa Kremer, Seungho Yang, and Petros Faloutsos. Thanks to Esri Canada - Dr. Brent Hall, Michael Luubert, Jon Salter and Teledyne Geospatial - Andrew Sit and Chris Verheggen for providing Teledyne's Aerial Data and York University CSBO - Patrick Saavedra.
