GIS-Based Land Parcel Siting System for Corporate Development
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current real estate systems are inadequate for corporate site selection, as they fail to account for complex factors such as property size, visibility, traffic flow, demographics, zoning, infrastructure, and proximity to environmental and industrial resources, making it difficult to find properties that meet specialized requirements for commercial development.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method and system that uses a geographical information system (GIS) to receive land parcel requests, determine primary and secondary site selections based on objective scores for land parcel size, type, slope, and proximity, and generate an updated site selection that combines these factors to satisfy specific requirements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual surveying and data collection methods are used for site selection, then flexibility in evaluating multiple factors is maintained, but time consumption and labor intensity increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical data collection and evaluation processes with an automated computer-based system that retrieves property data, evaluates multiple factors (zoning, demographics, traffic flow, etc.), and generates site selection reports automatically, thereby reducing time consumption while maintaining evaluation flexibility
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by allowing users to input their own site selection criteria and receive automated evaluations without requiring manual intervention for data gathering and analysis, making the process efficient while preserving customization options
2Loss of information
If existing real estate systems are used for corporate site selection, then basic property information is readily available, but specialized requirements such as property size, visibility, traffic flow, and proximity to infrastructure cannot be adequately evaluated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the site selection evaluation into multiple distinct factors including zoning compatibility, demographic analysis, traffic flow assessment, proximity to infrastructure, and environmental considerations, allowing each factor to be evaluated separately with appropriate precision while integrating results into a comprehensive site selection recommendation
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes evaluation parameters by incorporating specialized corporate requirements such as minimum property size thresholds, visibility indices, traffic flow metrics, and proximity calculations to infrastructure elements, transforming basic property data into specialized evaluation parameters that accurately measure corporate site selection criteria
3Measurement precision
If multiple configurable parameters are considered for site selection, then selection accuracy improves, but system complexity and data collection difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal evaluation framework that handles multiple configurable parameters (zoning, demographics, traffic, infrastructure proximity, etc.) through a single integrated system capable of adjusting to different corporate requirements, thereby maintaining high selection accuracy while managing system complexity through standardized multi-functional processing

AI summary
Systems, devices, products, apparatuses, and/or methods for generating a land parcel for a siting request in a geospatial area by receiving a land parcel request within a requested region to provide requirements for land development siting indicating one or more requested proximity factors, determining at least one primary site selection having a size below a requested sizing threshold based on information received from a geographical information system (GIS) including land parcel data defining a plurality of land parcels and energy data defining a plurality of energy infrastructures, automatically determines geospatial data representing one or more secondary land parcels and generates an updated site selection comprising the at least one primary site selection and at least one of the one or more secondary site selections.
