Urban Traffic Digital Twin and Live Mobility Dashboard

This example demonstrates the platform’s ability to visualize real-time traffic flow, congestion analytics, and sensor-based vehicle monitoring through a unified digital-twin interface. Jeel Engineering will adapt this architecture for be’ah’s operations to monitor waste-collection vehicle fleets, route optimization, and service KPIs across governorates.

AI-Enabled Anomaly Detection and Visual Surveillance

• Jeel Engineering, in partnership with SuperMap, proposes the deployment of an AIassisted anomaly-detection subsystem integrated with CCTV and UAV video feeds.
• This system applies real-time image recognition and machine-learning algorithms to automatically detect operational, environmental, and safety-related anomalies across all be’ah facilities.
• By leveraging the existing network of cameras and edge devices, the platform performs intelligent analytics including object detection, behavior recognition, and pattern deviation alerts.
• Detected events are instantly visualized within the Operations Command Center, generating automated alerts and maintenance tickets for immediate action.

Figure 10: Vehicle-Speed and Movement Detection from CCTV Feeds

The AI engine analyzes high-resolution video streams to identify individual vehicles, estimate speeds, and detect congestion or stationary anomalies in real time. For be’ah, this capability will be adapted to monitor waste-collection vehicle flow, unauthorized vehicle entry, and queue build-up at landfill gates, ensuring efficient operations and safety compliance.

Surface Defect and Infrastructure Monitoring

Figure 11: Automated Detection of Road Surface Defects

Using UAV or fixed-camera imagery, the system automatically recognizes cracks, potholes, and surface deterioration, classifying each by severity and type (highlighted in blue, orange, and green). These results feed into the asset-maintenance dashboard, enabling preventive repair scheduling for access roads, leachate channels, and waste-transfer driveways.

Fire and Smoke Detection

Figure 12: Al-Based Fire and Smoke Detection from Video Streams

Deep-learning models trained on environmental imagery detect early-stage fire and smoke plumes, automatically issuing alerts to the OCC. This provides be’ah with a critical early-warning mechanism for landfill fires or spontaneous combustion events, allowing immediate mobilization of response teams.

Site Activity and Worker-Safety Monitoring

Figure 13: AI-Driven Worker-Safety and Activity Detection

The surveillance system identifies human presence, protective-gear compliance (helmet, vest), fall-risk activities, and restricted-area intrusion using computer-vision algorithms.

These detections are logged as safety events within the OCC and linked to HSE reports, ensuring continuous behavioral safety monitoring across be’ah’s operational facilities.

Demonstrating SuperMap’s real-time video integration, this 3D digital environment enables operators to visualize camera locations, playback live feeds, and monitor field conditions directly from the 3D twin. Jeel will apply this same architecture at be’ah’s landfill and transfer facilities to monitor site activities, vehicle movements, and safety compliance in real time.

Occupational Safety and Site Surveillance

The be’ah Digital Twin will include AI-powered video analytics capable of detecting safetyhelmet compliance, restricted-area entry, and incident tracking through connected CCTV networks.

Digital Twin: Asset Maintenance and Performance Dashboard

A real-world Oman-based implementation powered by SuperMap, this example illustrates Jeel’s capability to manage asset performance, maintenance scheduling, and reliability analytics. The same architecture will be extended for be’ah to monitor equipment uptime, fault trends, and predictive maintenance across waste-handling and recycling facilities.

Site Context and Buffer Management

• High-resolution satellite imagery and UAV data will be used to define environmentalsensitivity zones surrounding each waste site - such as schools, residential areas, river corridors, and agricultural land. These zones will be integrated into the Digital Twin as geofenced constraint layers to automatically trigger alerts when activities or emissions exceed safe boundaries.
• 500 m buffer around educational or residential areas.
• Dynamic odor/noise modeling based on prevailing wind direction.
• Proximity-based vehicle routing optimization to minimize disturbance.

This approach mirrors global landfill-risk zoning methods (similar to Figure 9) but will be adapted using local Omani spatial datasets and live meteorological feeds.

Figure 14: Site context map showing MSW boundary, adjacent school, Pandu River corridor, and nearby residential locality—priority constraints for risk buffers, odor/noise management, and emergency planning.

Landfill Digital-Twin Model Construction

Each landfill will be modeled as a 3D multi-layer digital twin, capturing the full vertical structure - base liner, waste lifts, intermediate soil layers, and surface cover.

The model will store geotechnical attributes such as compaction, porosity, permeability, and shear strength, allowing predictive simulations for settlement and seepage.

Key model inputs include:

• Geometry of waste cells, berms, and drainage channels.
• Soil and liner characteristics from be’ah’s design drawings.
• Borehole and monitoring-well data (where available).
• Leachate and gas network schematics.

This corresponds to the structural concept shown in Figure 10 below and will be built in SuperMap 3D using the S3M standard, integrated with IoT sensors and AI models.

Figure 15: Landfill digital-twin concept: geometry, soil layers, monitoring wells, machinery zones, and compliance parameters aligned to air/groundwater standards—inputs to model/Al registry and OCC KPIs.

Leak Detection and Liner Integrity

Jeel proposes implementing digital geomembrane-integrity monitoring within the QA module. Sensors or portable probes will feed voltage-gradient readings to the platform, allowing the detection of liner punctures or leachate leaks.

The OCC dashboard will:

• Display the geomembrane grid in 2D/3D view.
• Mark detected anomalies as spatial events.
• Auto-generate maintenance tickets with timestamp, coordinates, and severity ranking.

This concept (Image 11) will be localized using RESTful API feeds from in-situ monitoring contractors, ensuring early detection and compliance with be’ah’s environmental-safety requirements.

Figure 16: Geomembrane integrity monitoring concept (voltage/gradient method): current lines concentrate at defects; anomaly curve drives OCC leak-alert workflows.

Leachate and Gas-Collection Network Monitoring

The Digital Twin will visualize and monitor leachate pipelines, gas vents, and aerobicdecomposition zones in real time.

Sensors will capture key parameters - temperature, flow, pH , methane, $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$, and pressure feeding analytics to predict overflow or methane-emission risks.

Core features:

• 3D depiction of leachate flow direction and collection sumps.
• Pump-status tracking and inflow/outflow dashboards.
• Predictive modeling for aeration efficiency and fermentation temperature $\left(50-70^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right)$.
• Automated alerts for abnormal trends in gas concentration or leachate levels.

This capability (Image 12) positions be’ah at the forefront of waste-site process intelligence.

, and ventilation-mapped to sensors, alarms, and maintenance tickets.

Remote-Sensing Change Detection and Vegetation Health

Satellite and drone imagery will be periodically analyzed using NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) and thermal indices to track site-surface changes, vegetation stress, and unauthorized waste accumulation.

Automated change-detection scripts will produce monthly thematic layers within the Digital Twin.

Deliverables:

• NDVI heatmaps showing vegetation recovery or stress on landfill caps.
• Thermal hotspot maps identifying potential smoldering zones or gas leaks.
• Temporal comparison dashboards (e.g., 2020 vs 2021 trend maps as in Image 5).

This remote-sensing integration supports be’ah’s ESG reporting and early-warning system for environmental degradation.

Operations Command Center (OCC) for Integrated Monitoring

At the center of this ecosystem is the Operations Command Center, an interactive 3D control room interface visualizing live field conditions. All asset classes - heavy machinery, sensor nodes, weather stations, CCTVs, and network telemetry - will appear as real-time icons on the Digital Twin map.

Key OCC capabilities include:

• Gas, meteorological, and equipment data streaming in real time.
• Live dashboards for $\mathrm{CO}_{2}, \mathrm{CH}_{4}$, and leachate parameters.
• Predictive maintenance alerts for pumps and blowers.
• CCTV and drone video overlays for operational supervision.
• Unified alarm panel with multi-level thresholds and SLA-based response tracking.

This aligns with the integrated OCC visualization shown in Image 14 and forms the operational heart of the be’ah Digital Twin.

Methodology

Survey Planning and Design

Jeel Engineering LLC follows a structured aerial survey methodology aligned with international geospatial and photogrammetric standards. The planning phase ensures that the aerial survey is optimized for spatial accuracy, operational safety, and efficient data acquisition.

We will capture high-resolution aerial imagery over the defined Area of Interest (AOI) using fixed-wing and rotary UAV platforms equipped with calibrated RGB sensors. The survey aims to achieve a Ground Sampling Distance (GSD) of $\leq 2 \mathrm{~cm}$, with a relative positional accuracy better than $\pm 5 \mathrm{~cm}$ and absolute accuracy better than $\pm 10 \mathrm{~cm}$, when tied to well-distributed Ground Control Points (GCPs). Flight parameters — including UAV type, flight height, sensor orientation, and weather windows - will be optimized to meet these accuracy goals. Proposed UAV Platforms

Based on the scale and terrain of the project area, we propose a hybrid deployment of fixed-wing and multirotor UAVs to maximize endurance and flexibility:

Each UAV is equipped with real-time telemetry systems, onboard GNSS/IMU logging, and fail-safe mechanisms. Sensor payloads can include RGB, LiDAR, thermal, or multispectral cameras depending on the project’s technical requirements.

Flight Planning and Overlap Strategy

• Proper planning ensures complete coverage and high photogrammetric fidelity. Planning is performed using software such as UGCS, DJI Pilot, or eMotion.
• Key Parameters:
• Altitude: Set to match required GSD and terrain relief
• Overlap: 80% forward / 70% side minimum
• Flight Path: Grid-based for area surveys; corridor-based for linear assets
• Line Junctions: Overlap to ensure stereoscopic consistency
• GCPs/Checkpoints: Integrated within the flight grid

Preliminary Planning Activities

This phase ensures legal, environmental, and logistical readiness:

• AOI Finalization: Boundaries, exclusions, and access verification
• Permit Processing: CAA flight approvals, stakeholder notifications
• Weather Modeling: Use of Windy, UAVForecast for solar angle, wind, and cloud data
• Terrain Analysis: Identification of zones with elevation anomalies or vegetation
• Team Assignment: Flight crew, survey team, safety officer confirmed
• Pre-Flight Preparations
• Before flight operations begin:
• UAVs are inspected (airframe, motors, GPS, telemetry)
• Sensor payloads are calibrated and focus-tested
• Battery levels and firmware versions are verified
• Flight paths and contingencies are uploaded to UAV controllers
• RTK GNSS receivers are deployed for GCP surveying
• Emergency protocol review is conducted with the field team

All pre-flight tasks are logged through Jeel’s UAV Ops Checklist System (UOCS).

Flight Execution

All flights are conducted under VLOS (Visual Line of Sight) with constant telemetry monitoring. UAVs follow preloaded missions with real-time telemetry feedback Adjustments are made in the field for wind, terrain obstruction, or lighting issues GCP coordinates are collected using RTK GNSS receivers with sub-centimeter precision Images are tagged with GNSS metadata and quality-assured post-mission In urban or restricted zones, multi-rotor UAVs (e.g., DJI M300 RTK) are deployed with reduced altitude and grid spacing to avoid obstructions.

Post-Flight Data Handling

Collected data undergoes immediate field-level review and secure offloading:

• Blurred or underexposed images are flagged for re-flight
• Flight logs (e.g., .DAT, .TXT, .KML) are organized and archived
• Each flight folder includes:
• Geotagged imagery
• Flight plan
• GCP coordinates
• Telemetry logs
• Image quality review sheet

Only after successful completion of this pipeline is the data passed to the photogrammetry team for further processing.

Data Processing & 3D Modeling

Post-flight, Jeel’s geospatial processing team transforms raw UAV-acquired imagery into deliverables such as orthomosaics, Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), Digital Terrain Models (DTMs), 3D point clouds, and vector layers. The processing adheres to ASPRS accuracy standards, with robust QA/QC protocols at each step.

All processing is performed using industry-standard photogrammetry suites, including Agisoft Metashape, Pix4D Mapper, RealityCapture, iTwin Capture and is supported by ArcGIS Pro, Global Mapper, and CloudCompare for QA, visualization, and GIS integration.
