What is 4D Geographic Information System Market?
GIS is a system for capturing, analyzing, managing, storing, editing, and displaying the geographic data relating to a position on the earth's surface. GIS can be simply defined as any digital data that contains location-specific information, also known as spatial data. Geospatial data can be an address, latitude, and longitude coordinate, or complex three-dimensional geometry. In simple terms, GIS enables users to visualize data as a map and view, understand, question, interpret and visualize data to reveal patterns, relationships, and trends in the form of maps, reports, and charts. In 4D GIS, the first three dimensions thereby represent the coordinates that are used for defining a physical space. The fourth dimension (4D) relates to time. The change can be the position of the object from one place to another, or changing patterns in environments such as changing weather conditions or the spread of fire in a forest. Spatial and temporal, or time-dependent data, such as data illustrating changing weather conditions, is supported by most GIS systems using animation tools. It is also useful in the construction industry for monitoring the progress of overtime. As 4D GIS incorporates 2D and 3D over time, it becomes an integral part of GIS applications. The 4D model offers high-quality visualization, simulation, and communication and enables better decision making in rapidly changing environments. 4D GIS models help understand project plans and help users observe the risks associated with running a project.

Market Leaders & Development Strategies
In December 2021, Trimble acquired AgileAssets, a company that offers enterprise infrastructure asset management software to private organizations and government entities. This includes national road authorities and state-level transportation agencies within the United States. AgileAssets' robust Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions for asset management provide organizations with cutting-edge analytics to support real-time decision-making and efficient management of day-to-day maintenance operations.
In July 2022, To address the need for comprehensive 3D geospatial environments that enable real-time sensor integration, open-data standards, and compatibility with existing GIS applications, a novel digital twin database platform has been developed. Its primary objective is to fulfill the demand for a holistic solution that supports seamless interoperability and integrates with enterprise investments in the field of geospatial information systems (GIS).
