When As-Built Models and Point Clouds Conflict Which One Do You Trust?
When the as-built and the point cloud disagree, which one should your GIS team trust? The answer is usually not as simple as choosing the newer dataset.A point cloud captures visible field conditions at a specific moment, but it may contain registration errors, occlusions, noise, or incomplete coverage. An as-built model…

The U.S. DOT’s GIS Strategic Plan 2026–2030 points to a more strategic role for GIS in transportation.
For a long time, GIS in transportation was treated mainly as a support function. It helped teams visualize assets, organize data, and improve mapping. Important, yes, but still often seen as something that sat beside planning and operations rather than inside them. What stands out in the U.S. DOT’s GIS Strategic Plan…

How AI and GeoAI Are Improving Early Project Decision-Making
AI and GeoAI Are Changing Early Decision-Making in GIS and AEC A few years ago, project teams would select a site, move through design, coordinate disciplines, and only then begin to uncover clashes, environmental constraints, or constructability issues. By the time those problems became visible, teams were often already…
