Pirna, a picturesque town in Germany, is set to embrace the future with a digital representation of its infrastructure. Starting September 1st, special survey vehicles equipped with cameras and laserscanners will be deployed to digitally measure the town's streets and paths.

The data collected from these survey vehicles will form the foundation for a digital representation of Pirna's city infrastructure. This digital twin could facilitate better planning for city repairs, potentially helping to record damage and enable more efficient repair planning.

The town hall has emphasised that faces and license plates will be automatically obscured in the digital representation to ensure privacy. However, no specific details about the type of digital representation or the responsible authority for implementing the project have been provided.

It's also worth noting that no information about the potential cost or funding of the project, or who will be responsible for maintaining the digital representation, has been made available. Additionally, no details were provided about how the digital representation will be used beyond damage recording and repair planning.

Despite these uncertainties, the digital representation of Pirna's infrastructure is expected to offer significant benefits for the town. By providing a comprehensive, up-to-date digital model of the city, it could enable more effective and efficient city planning and repairs.

As more information about the digital representation project becomes available, we will keep you updated. Stay tuned for further developments in Pirna's digital transformation journey.
