Why SCIPLANT?

SCIPLANT integrates XR (Extended Reality) with real-time data from IoT devices, providing urban planners with tools to create smarter, more sustainable cities. Here’s how SCIPLANT is set to change urban planning:

Sustainable Urban Development:

- Leverage real-time environmental and mobility data to plan cities that are both eco-friendly and efficient.

- Visualize and simulate the impact of green infrastructure on urban areas, including air quality, noise levels, and energy use.

Collaborative Urban
Design
:

- Engage stakeholders in a collaborative XR environment, allowing for real-time interaction, annotation, and feedback on urban plans.

- Facilitate consensus-driven decisions by integrating public input directly into the planning process through accessible AR interfaces.

Dynamic Traffic and Infrastructure Management:

- Use data from Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communication systems and other IoT devices to optimize traffic flow and reduce congestion.

- Incorporate smart infrastructure solutions, such as adaptive traffic management and responsive urban layouts, into the planning process.

Enhanced Citizen Participation:

- Empower citizens to engage with urban planning through interactive XR tools, enabling them to visualize proposed developments and provide meaningful feedback.

- Utilize AR and VR technologies to make complex urban planning data accessible to the public, fostering greater transparency and inclusivity.

Beyond Traditional Planning
