Czech Railways: Integrating Historical Data and 3D Visualization Techniques

Original language description

The paper presents current grant research project that is aimed at researching the cultural, social, economic and transport technical development of railways in the Czech lands/Czechoslovakia. Because of its historical development, the Czech railway network used to be the most dense in the world which makes it quite unique even from the global perspective. The project focuses on the importance of the railway for the creation of industrial landscapes (intramural, extramural), for regions with supra-regional (provincial, national) links and for society (enabling the circulation of goods, people, employment, leisure, changes in settlement, culture and art). Within the project, an online 2D interactive web map application, showing the spatio-temporal development of railways in Czech Lands over a period of almost 200 years will be developed. In addition to GIS data enhanced with attributes from a comprehensive historical railway database, the online map application will be supplemented with spatially localised archival written, iconographic and audiovisual material. Another planned output is a 3D web application visualising the development of an extinct local railway from Vlašim to Dolní Kralovice, which was partly destroyed due to construction of water dam in 1960s. Models used for this application will be created using CAD software and procedural modelling based on historical postcards, paintings, photographs and building plans. One of the aims of this 3D scene is also to procedurally visualize vegetation around the railway based on the former land cover depicted on the old maps. The whole project is based on processing old maps and plans from 19th and 20th century that are used to recreate and analyse the development process of our railway network.
