Abstract
Abstract. The smart city concept may aid in improving the city management, enhance the efficiency and thus increase the effectiveness of the city, where it is mainly focused on both information and technologies. This concept appears to be applicable for a smaller area such as university campus. Based on this idea, this research tries to implement the 3D smart campus for Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). This is an initial research towards a real implementation of 3D smart campus and conceivably 3D smart cities. This research focuses on the development of UTM smart campus by using 3D city modelling. The QGIS software was used to develop the 3D models. Then, the 3D model is viewed in a web browser for better 3D visualization and navigation. Furthermore, the results show that the 3D developed models for UTM smart campus can be a reliable platform to manage the spatial query and viewing the attributes of UTM campus buildings and facilities. This can be seen beneficial to the physical future development of the UTM campus area.
Highlights
The 3D smart campus as stated by Enqing et al (2017) is the construction and development of digital campus, and the integrated environment of campus work, learning and living based on the internet of things
The smart city concept may help in improving the city management, enhance the efficiency and increase the effectiveness of the city, where it is mainly focused on both information and technologies (Batty et al, 2012)
There are services offered by Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) campus to help visitors to navigate in the campus but the services/system only enabled visitors to get the digital view of the campus
Summary
The 3D smart campus as stated by Enqing et al (2017) is the construction and development of digital campus, and the integrated environment of campus work, learning and living based on the internet of things. The completion of a few tasks are required in order to achieve the implementation and solve the problem of developing 3D smart campus. This includes developing the platform for data collection and data representation methods. The visualisation via 3D GIS allows representation that is close to reality due to the selection of important aspects for imagination and evaluation (Kȍninger & Bartel, 1998) It shows that 3D GIS map is very important for users to get the actual view of the location, especially the indoor view of the campus building. Geographic Information System (GIS) can be used as tools for spatial data analysis and data management to solve problem such as finding the suitable classrooms capacity with number of student. The 3D smart campus system is the best platform to manage the spatial query and view the attributes of UTM campus buildings and facilities
