Automating Earthworks Analysis with Python and KML Data

Source: Dev.to

The Idea

The concept is simple:

1. Draw a road or path in Google Earth.
2. Export the path as a KML file.
3. Upload the file to the application.

• Automatically generate terrain profiles and estimate earthworks volumes.

The goal is to quickly evaluate the feasibility of access roads or alignments without going through a complex GIS workflow.
