MANAGING 3D ASSET MANAGEMENT USING CITYGML CONCEPT

Abstract

In the last decades, three-dimensional asset management is one of the significant practices that is rapidly being used nowadays. Nowadays, 3D GIS has been applied in various applications, especially asset management. A major problem that faces the country at present is the lack of effective tools for managing and maintaining the assets. Currently, in Malaysia, there has been a system that develop by the government named Malaysia Immovable Asset Management System (MySPATA) that is used for the recording, managing, and monitoring government immovable assets. However, this system has not been very successfully utilized due to data complexity and complication in the documentation. This also happens because there are issues involving the management of spatial data due to the growing complexity in infrastructure and limitation of applications. In the surge of digitized economies and industrial improvement, the usefulness of data visualization is becoming increasingly significant in sectors such as smart city planning, construction, management, and services. Therefore, for this to happen, integration between 3D asset management and the CityGML concept is needed This paper focuses on managing 3D asset management using the CityGML concept. CityGML is an independent geospatial information model for semantic 3D city and landscape models that contain various features and modules such as spatial information, data integration, and data visualization. Integration of current technology which is Geographical Information System (GIS) and CityGML concept being employed for 3D asset management. A 3D asset management modeling is being developed using the CityGML standard to track spatial assets, maintain asset records, and sustain an accurate inventory of assets. Thus, in the future, an effective GIS database management will be developed to ensure adequate system performance and operational.
