Problem solving through CAD and GIS requires a proper integration of these systems for efficient and effective processing of data and operations. Currently, there is no single book that covers the breadth and depth of CAD/GIS integration issues and solutions. This book provides in-depth descriptions of existing and emerging methodologies, techniques, and technologies for integrating CAD and GIS and includes example applications requiring efficient and effective solutions through proper CAD/GIS integration. The text delineates the technical aspects of integrating CAD/GIS, helping readers learn concepts and techniques to analyze, design, and implement projects ranging from the simple to the complex.

Publisher Description:

When used together effectively, computer-aided design (CAD) and geospatial information systems (GIS) have a solid track record for streamlining decision making and reducing inefficiencies in the design, planning, and execution of critical operations and projects. And a growing number of engineering tasks in numerous fields--including design, architecture, construction, and asset management--now require the knowledge of many interrelated yet disconnected CAD/GIS tools and task-specific software.

A multidisciplinary resource delineating existing and emerging solutions for CAD/GIS integration issues, CAD and GIS Integration provides a clear understanding of the state of the art in this area of growing importance. It brings together in-depth descriptions of existing and emerging techniques, methodologies, and technologies to examine approaches that enable data and operations interoperability between CAD/GIS. Starting with a review of fundamental concepts and theories, the book:

  • Addresses contemporary issues and challenges

  • Provides a collection of helpful methodologies, techniques, and technologies for integrating CAD and GIS

  • Presents balanced coverage of CAD and GIS technologies and applications

  • Highlights emerging trends in CAD/GIS integration

  • Explores the state-of-the-art in the application of CAD and GIS technologies, data, and operations for decision making

From early developments to current trends and future directions, this concise resource allows you to get up to speed quickly on what it takes to get the most of these two dynamic technologies. Numerous example applications of effective CAD/GIS integration provide the understanding needed to improve designs, make better decisions, and reduce or even eliminate costly errors in your next project.
