Webinar: Survey and Site Design Solution @ Online webinar
Mar 3 @ 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm
Webinar: Survey and Site Design Solution @ Online webinar

Join Bentley Systems at the launch of what it says is the industry’s most complete Survey and Site Design Solution ever offered to the ANZ market.

As technology advances and industry expectations increase, your software needs to keep pace with this ever-changing environment. In short, your software needs to deliver on today’s requirements and be ready for tomorrow’s challengers.

If you work in road design, site surveying, site development and related fields, this webinar is for you.

Throughout the launch, Bentley Systems will demonstrate traditional survey data capture capabilities, coupled with the latest mass data collection survey methods, including Total Station techniques, Point Cloud techniques and Digital Photogrammetry techniques.

Leveraging the above survey results, the launch will continue through a typical site design workflow, incorporating aspects such as:

  • Terrain creation and analysis
  • Urban road widening design
  • Carpark and recreational area design
  • Drainage and Utility design and analysis
  • Plan production and digital model delivery
  • Model visualisation

Air Inspect Australia will also be joining the webinar to share their insights and learnings of their project.

If you or your company perform any of the above-mentioned workflows, then this is one webinar you should not miss.

15th Conference on Spatial Information Theory @ Kobe, Japan

The 15th International Conference on Spatial Information Theory, COSIT 2022, will be held in Kobe, Japan, 5 to 9 September, 2022. Established in 1993, the Conference on Spatial Information Theory (COSIT) is a biennial international conference series concerned with theoretical aspects of space and spatial information, aimed at advancing geographic information science and its emerging research frontiers.

The conference offers three (refereed) submission tracks with double-blind reviews: vision papers, full papers, and short papers. Embedded in the conference will also be an on-site mentoring program for doctoral students.

Contributions can cover a broad set of conference-relevant themes such as (but not limited to):

  • activity-based models of spatial knowledge
  • cognitive aspects of geographic information
  • cognitive-behavioural geography, naive geography
  • data-driven spatial information theory
  • geo-ethics and geo-privacy
  • events and processes in geographic space and time
  • geographic information visualisation and geovisual analytics
  • knowledge representation for space and time
  • navigation and wayfinding of sentient beings and robots
  • ontology of space and time
  • place
  • quality and interoperability of geographic information
  • social and cultural organisation of space
  • spatial and temporal language
  • spatial aspects of social networks
  • spatial decision support, impact of model design
  • spatial (digital) humanities
  • theory-driven spatial machine learning, artificial intelligence of space
  • theories on volunteered geographic information
  • theory and practice of spatial and temporal reasoning
  • user interfaces, virtual spaces and collaborative spaces

14th Australian Space Forum @ Adelaide Convention Centre

The Andy Thomas Space Foundation is looking forward to welcoming a global audience to the 14th Australian Space Forum, which will be held on Tuesday, 25 October 2022 at the Adelaide Convention Centre in South Australia.

Supported by the Australian Space Agency, the South Australian Space Industry Centre and SmartSat CRC, the Forum will provide an opportunity to stimulate ideas, share information about emerging technologies and network with influential space sector leaders and the broader community.

Participants can attend in-person, or virtually through the event’s global interactive platform.

Forum sessions will include international panels covering highly pertinent topics that shape our industry:

Earth Observation: The National Space Mission for Earth Observation is a major investment that will expand Australia’s capability in designing, manufacturing and operating space- and ground-based systems.

Optical Communications: A quantum leap in Australia’s secure and high-bandwidth communications to connect the world and beyond.

Foundation Services Rover: Exploring remote operations and autonomous systems by building on Australian expertise in the resources and mining sectors for the collection of lunar soil (regolith).
