Spatial Big Data and Analysis Strategies Supporting Geographic Information System for Transportation (GIS-T) in Conceptual Design, Modelling, and Decision-making: A Review

Wind power plays a crucial role in our transition to clean energy. We developed an innovative approach that merges public mapping resources with satellite imagery and AI models. The result provides a comprehensive global inventory of wind turbines, documenting over 379,000 onshore installations worldwide. This open-access dataset serves as a valuable data for policymakers and scientists, offering insights to better manage renewable energy development while minimizing environmental impacts.
