The Subdirectorate of Fraccionamientos and Urban Structure of the municipality of León implemented a mapping scheme with drones and GNSS to accelerate the generation of plans and models of the territory, reducing the time by half. The new equipment, acquired with the 2024 budget, joins the fleet of drones specialized in topography incorporated last year.
The combination of both systems allows for 3D surveys, virtual tours, and video captures with millimeter precision, transmitting topographic data in real time from any point in the city to the office of the dependency. According to the technical staff of the Subdirectorate, the satellite signal provides centimeter accuracy, while the drones increase coverage and reduce risks for personnel.
During 2024, the unit executed various services, including surveys for road projects from the Trust for Works by Cooperation (FIDOC), area measurements for donations requested by Asset Control, verifications of control points for Feasibility Certificates, and examinations of topographic experts and technical miscellaneous.
The goal for 2025 is to maintain and exceed the figure of more than 260 annual services, speeding up deliveries by up to 50% and enriching cartographic products with digital terrain models.
The implementation of this system also generates benefits for dependencies and citizens by reducing transfers and allowing the automatic sending of coordinates and orthophotos in seconds to areas such as Public Works, FIDOC, SAPAL, and others that design infrastructure or certifying properties. Additionally, having verifiable digital layouts minimizes the margin of error in rulings and strengthens legal certainty in the processes of regularization of subdivisions or delineation of roadways.
