Design and Implementation of 3D Geological Suitability Evaluation System for Underground Space Development

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Traditional underground space evaluation systems often employ 2D GIS methods to represent 3D information, leading to issues such as the loss of 3D spatial data and insufficient resolution in depth. Addressing the practical needs and methodological steps of 3D geological suitability evaluation for underground space (3D UGEE) development, this study adopts an integrated secondary development approach to design and implement a software system capable of conducting quantitative geological suitability evaluation in three dimension using multivariate data. The system incorporates the latest methods and achievements in 3D UGEE, featuring functional modules such as multidimensional data conversion, 3D statistical analysis, 3D spatial distance analysis, and 3D comprehensive evaluation, enabling the integration and analytical assessment of multivariate geoscientific data. This study elaborates on the system’s overall architecture, development approach, and the design and implementation processes of its functional modules. Application results from a case study in Hangzhou demonstrate that the system not only provides a suite of 3D spatial analysis and comprehensive evaluation tools for integrating multivariate geoscientific data but also offers robust support for enhancing 3D UGEE.
