| SWOT Analysis for Smart City - City Information Modelling Rotterdam |
||
|---|---|---|
| Helpful | Harmful | |
Internal |
Strengths• Demonstrating the level of effort needed (i.e. how easy or difficult it is) to integrate data from different databases and in different formats to such a 3D city information model based on open standards, facilitating interoperability and data exchange among different products or services. • Information includes: a) Architectural changes made in the context of the retrofitting b) Placement/positioning of electric vehicle rental and charging points c) Placement/positioning of new smart street lighting (lampposts) d) Existing vegetation in the area (trees; also important for use case 1, energy, as vegetation affects solar potential) e) Existing bus stops in the area (coordinates) f) Designs of artworks to be created on the building façades (murals)/ areas near the buildings (sculptures) • In the context of the BIM ideology IFC (International Foundation Classes) format is used to for data exchange between different parties involved in the construction process (architecture, construction, ventilation, heating, electricity, etc). IFC is registered as ISO 16739:2013 standard. |
Weaknesses• Integrating the existing data is difficult • Technological complexity, as well as the complexity of the various sectorial services involved, require a system approach to standardisation |
External |
Opportunities• Developing and initial 3D city information model that brings together as many meaningful city information datasets that currently exist separately, in different formats and in different databases. • Facilitates interoperability between various city departments and it also allows potential development of new services relevant for city development if access is given to third parties (e.g. tech startups). • Technological complexity, as well as the complexity of the sectorial services involved within a Smart City, require a system approach to standardisation |
Threats• It is not unambiguous what Level of Detail (LOD) is in 3D city modelling - There is not a single and widely accepted LOD paradigm in 3D city modelling. There are no general guidelines and it is not clear what drives the LOD - Mixed-scale / perspective-view in 3D city modelling is not researched • Limitations on personal privacy and anonymity • Unauthorised access to georeferenced building information |
