The system architecture of cyber-physical systems integration for underground utility networks visualisation

Problems involving underground utilities networks are often faced by project teams in developing a new area near to an existing area or where changes to the functionality of an existing structure are involved. This is because an existing network of underground utilities will require special attentio...
