GIS Layer Overlay: Site Suitability Analysis

Interactive 3D GIS simulation: overlay terrain elevation, a road network and a population-density layer over the same territory, weight each criterion, and watch a weighted-overlay suitability map recompute live to reveal the best site.

A geographic information system rarely answers a question with a single map — it stacks layers of the same territory (relief, infrastructure, people) and combines them into one decision surface. This simulation overlays a procedurally generated terrain, a road network and a population-density field over the same 3D territory, then recomputes a live weighted-overlay suitability map as you change each criterion's weight. Watch the gold marker jump to a new best site as you shift the balance between flat land, road access and low population density.

⚙ Under the hood

Interactive 3D GIS simulation that overlays a procedurally generated terrain, a road network and a population-density layer over the same territory, letting you weight flatness, road access and population avoidance to recompute a live site-suitability map.
