Automated Procedural Generation of Urban Environments Using Open Data for City Visualisation

Ever increasing populations are putting considerable strain on the critical infrastructures of our towns, cities, and countries. The interconnecting and interdependent components of these man-made living procedures and protocols give-way in unforeseen, unplanned situations. Having the ability to visualise these interconnecting entities and the interaction they have on one another is critical for future city planners. We propose a novel framework called Project Vision Support that provides an automated visualisation of real world open data maps for the creation of procedurally generated urban environments. This framework can then be used to implement planning and scheduling algorithms for the orchestrated task of emergency services for crisis management response.
