Mapskart has partnered with greehill, the leading experts in nature-based smart city solutions. This collaboration marks a significant step in our journey as we join forces to empower Malaysian urban planners and cities with the tools they need to make smarter decisions.
Urban green spaces, often referred to as “urban forests,” are essential for moderating local climates, improving our environment, and creating safer, resilient cities. As such, proactive management of these spaces is crucial and greehill’s revolutionary platform helps us do just that.
With our expertise in GIS technology strategies and implementation, we are excited about unlocking the potential of location intelligence and geospatial insights as we work with urban planners, businesses, and policymakers to bring sustainable solutions to our cities and communities.
Urban forestry programs aim to manage trees effectively for their benefit and risk mitigation. Technological advancements like tree inventories and urban tree canopy assessments empower local tree managers. Using state-of-the-art technology like LiDAR and machine learning, we are transforming traditional tree inventory methods.
Technicians employ sensors on vehicles or rovers to scan areas, collect data to map the 3D world and identify trees, extract data, and measure biometrics. This data reveals tree health, safety, and ecosystem benefits. Managers can access this information and 4D tree copies on computers or tablets, allowing for consistent precision and analysis of tree changes over time. This approach leads to data-driven decisions and targeted tree care.
Sensitive car-mounted LIDAR and high-resolution cameras record every streetside tree.
Special Vehicle and Drones collect data for trees in parks and areas vehicles cannot access.
Trees are monitored annually or biennially, depending on clients’ needs and budget.
Satellites may be used for monthly tree health monitoring.
Our specially designed urban tree machine-learning engine analyzes the data.
Deep-learning technologies create sophisticated digital representation of each tree.
The twin meticulously replicates each tree, with precision recognition individual leaves.
Additionally, high-resolution photos are provided for each tree from different ranges, angles, and altitudes.
Meaningful metrics such as position, size, first bifurcation, and lean angle are extracted.
Scientifically proven algorithms determine failure risk, safety factor, leaf area, disease, etc.
Longitudinal data allows for trends analysis and cohort comparisons.
Our local greenery partner develops an action plan based on client parameters: safety/health risk, vitality, clearing, age, size, etc.
We identify subsets of trees for further review based on these objectives.
Arborists from our local greenery partner assess each tree of this subset remotely via computer.
If needed, pruning, removal or other interventions can be assign or on-site inspections ordered.
If on-site inspection is warranted, arborists visit the site for field analysis.
Information analytics, and more provided on greehill Inventory, our cloud-based platform.
Easy-to use interface, including 4D Digital Tree Twins, analytics, canopy coverage, and other reports.
High-res panoramic photos of each tree and the overall urban forest.
Built-in interfaces to leading work-management software, such as Treekeeper.
