Smart City Must Use Geomatics 2 GIS/GPS/Indoor Positioning Intelligent transportation What assets do we have? Where are they? Where are the people? Intelligent utility Smart Homes …

Use Case One Minimize road closures – Water – Sewer – Electricity – Gas – Cable TV – Heating – Road repairs + construction GIS website for upcoming projects ->better coordination -> shorter road closures. 3

Use Case Two Self Driving Cars – Speed limits – Parking restrictions – Traffic lights – Road conditions – Road construction activities (lane closures, reduced speeds, etc.) – The above information can lead to better decisions by the Self Driving Cars. 4

Use Case Two (Cont.) The road information can be collected using GPS+IMU+LiDAR+360 degree photos. MRF has researched into – Web-enabling of the data sets (big data). – Automated GIS feature extraction 90% of road signs 90% of street lights and traffic lights 70% of trees 5

MRF StreetView Point Cloud with Image Overlay 6

Measure Measurement Vertical Distance 7

GIS Feature Capture 8 50% Cost Savings

Automated GIS Feature Extraction 9

Use Case Three: Which road has been snow-cleared? Use GPS Tracking 10

Grader Blade Up/Down Sensor 11 LVIT Sensor

Use Case Four: Smart Homes Turn off Air Conditioning when you LEAVE home. Turn off gas stove when you LEAVE home. Shut off water in the sink when you LEAVE home. LEAVE: – When you are 500 meters away from home. 12

Smart Homes: We need indoor positioning and sensors. – Commercially available technology We need GPS tracking – Mature technology. We need GIS – Mature technology. We need historical data -> patterns We need smart devices which can be remotely controlled. – Commercially available technology 13
