Hybrid Framework

Three-dimensional (3D) pipe network modeling plays an essential part in high performance-based smart city applications. Given that massive 3D pipe networks tend to be difficult to manage and to visualize, we propose in this study a hybrid framework for high-performance modeling of a 3D pipe network, including pipe network data model and high-performance modeling. The pipe network data model is devoted to three-dimensional pipe network construction based on network topology and building information models (BIMs). According to the topological relationships of the pipe point pipelines, the pipe network is decomposed into multiple pipe segment units. The high-performance modeling of 3D pipe network contains a spatial 3D model, the instantiation, adaptive rendering, and combination parallel computing. Spatial 3D model (S3M) is proposed for spatial data transmission, exchange, and visualization of massive and multi-source 3D spatial data. The combination parallel computing framework with GPU and OpenMP was developed to reduce the processing time for pipe networks. The results of the experiments showed that the hybrid framework achieves a high efficiency and the hardware resource occupation is reduced.

With the pressure of the increasing density of urban areas, some public infrastructures are moving to the underground to free up space above, such as utility lines, rail lines and roads. In the big data era, the three-dimensional (3D) data can be beneficial to understand the complex urban area. Comparing to spatial data and information of the above ground, we lack the precise and detailed information about underground infrastructures, such as the spatial information of underground infrastructure, the ownership of underground objects and the interdependence of infrastructures in the above and below ground. How can we map reliable 3D underground utility networks and use them in the land administration? First, to explain the importance of this work and find a possible solution, this paper observes the current issues of the existing underground utility database in Singapore. A framework for utility data governance is proposed to manage the work process from the underground utility data capture to data usage. This is the backbone to support the coordination of different roles in the utility data governance and usage. Then, an initial design of the 3D underground utility data model is introduced to describe the 3D geometric and spatial information about underground utility data and connect it to the cadastral parcel for land administration. In the case study, the newly collected data from mobile Ground Penetrating Radar is integrated with the existing utility data for 3D modelling. It is expected to explore the integration of new collected 3D data, the existing 2D data and cadastral information for land administration of underground utilities.

To resolve the problem that underground pipe network is large, complex, and difficult to manage, the management model based on ArcGIS was used. This paper aimed to transform the traditional data types of underground pipe network to a new type based on ArcGIS and to make statistical analysis and thematic maps output to the attribute datas for all underground pipes mainly including water supply network and drainage network. Through the analysis of pipe network visualization model implementation to build the spatial data model of three-dimensional pipe network, the automatic model from 2D to 3D would be achieved, then the new ways to realize the 3D visualization of urban underground pipe network would be provided. Taking the underground pipe network of a city as an example, the management system based on ArcGIS was built. The system running results show that the system could achieve the digital management of underground pipe network for the city and improve the management efficiency of the entire system.

Underground pipe network is a critical city infrastructure, which plays an important role in smart city management. As the detailed three-dimensional (3D) scene of underground pipe networks is difficult to construct, and massive numbers of pipe points and segments are difficult to manage, a 3D pipe network modeling and organization method is explored in this study. First, the modeling parameters were parsed from the pipe network survey data. Then, the 3D pipe segment and point models were built based on parametric modeling algorithms. Finally, a heterogeneous data structure for the 3D pipe network was established through loose quadtree data organization. The proposed data structure was suitable for 3D Tiles, which was adopted by Cesium (a web-based 3D virtual globe); hence, a multitude of pipe networks can be viewed in the browser. The proposed method was validated by generating and organizing a large-scale 3D pipe network scene of Beijing. The experimental results indicate that the 3D pipe network models formed by this method can satisfy the visual effect and render the efficiency required for smart urban management.

We present Tangible Landscape—a technology for rapidly and intuitively designing landscapes informed by geospatial modeling, analysis, and simulation. It is a tangible interface powered by a geographic information system that gives three-dimensional spatial data an interactive, physical form so that users can naturally sense and shape it. Tangible Landscape couples a physical and a digital model of a landscape through a real-time cycle of physical manipulation, three-dimensional scanning, spatial computation, and projected feedback. Natural three-dimensional sketching and real-time analytical feedback should aid landscape architects in the design of high performance landscapes that account for physical and ecological processes. We conducted a series of studies to assess the effectiveness of tangible modeling for landscape architects. Landscape architecture students, academics, and professionals were given a series of fundamental landscape design tasks—topographic modeling, cut-and-fill analysis, and water flow modeling. We assessed their performance using qualitative and quantitative methods including interviews, raster statistics, morphometric analyses, and geospatial simulation. With tangible modeling, participants built more accurate models that better represented morphological features than they did with either digital or analog hand modeling. When tangibly modeling, they worked in a rapid, iterative process informed by real-time geospatial analytics and simulations. With the aid of real-time simulations, they were able to quickly understand and then manipulate how complex topography controls the flow of water.
