Herrenknecht Tunneling
Herrenknecht Tunneling is the practical part of my Bachelor Thesis and explores the potential of a real-time data visualization in the field of tunnel boring machines. The project seeks to gain new insights into Herrenknecht's operations by utilizing the company's web API, which provides access to real-time data from their tunnel boring machines.
To achieve this goal, I developed two prototypes that provide an overview of the location, status and progress of all tunneling projects. The first prototype used boxes on a globe to localize projects, but this method proved impractical due to the imprecision of the boxes when covering a large area. To overcome this issue, I developed a second prototype that used a detailed texture to cover the globe. The approach used lines to mark the location of the projects and varied in length to indicate the current tunnel progress, with different colors used to indicate the project's status.
