The noise problem is one of the major problems associated with large cities and is considered important factor not only in maintenance but also in development of cities. Accordingly, the noise map is being increasingly used in city planning and design. However, the existing two-dimensional noise maps only show regional, planar distribution of noise. This study presented a method to build a data model for analyzing and visualizing noise levels at fine scale considering the vertical distribution of noise in a building. By expanding the 2D topology concept used in conventional GIS to 3D, it suggested a 3D GIS data model that makes 3D spatial queries, analyses and visualization possible and applied the proposed approach to building a 3D noise information system. By building and testing the system, the study showed different functionalities including 3D spatial queries and 3D visualization of noise levels varying temporally or according as the height of sound-proof walls. In each case, the population exposed to noise was quantitatively computed to illustrate the potential in the areas of city planning and design.

Despite geospatial information systems are widely used in many different fields as a powerful tool for spatial analysis and decision-making, their capabilities to handle realistic 3-D urban environment are very limited. The objective of this work is to integrate the recent developments in 3-D modeling and visualization into GIS to enhance its 3-D capabilities. To achieve a photorealistic view, building models are collected from a pair of aerial stereo images. Roof and wall textures are respectively obtained from ortho-rectified aerial image and ground photography. This study is implemented by using ArcGIS as the work platform and ArcObjects and Visual Basic as development tools. Presented in this paper are 3-D geometric modeling and its data structure, texture creation and its association with the geometric model. As the results, photorealistic views of Purdue University campus are created and rendered with ArcScene.

In this research, we constructed a 3D riverbed surveying system that is able to acquire the topographical information of a riverbed in real-time. The system consists of a RTK-GPS receiver and a echo sounder for collecting simultaneously the position and the water depth information of riverbed. A program for data composition and transformation was designed to generate the 3D coordinates by combining data of a GPS receiver and a echo sounder and made GIS database construction easy. We extracted TIN, digital elevation model and cross sectional maps of the riverbed by using GIS software from 3D data constructed through test surveying. It was shown that the accuracy of the result was RMS error of 0.069m when compared with the existing methods which use a total station and staffs. It is expected that the 3D riverbed surveying system wiil be able to be utilized to various surveying for water resources management in rivers, sea, dams, storing reservoirs and so forth.

The purpose of this study is to present the role of NGIS(National Geographic Information System) and the development strategy for Business GIS in the ubiquitous society. We analyze the level of GIS technology with the ICT(Information Communication Technology) as well as GIS application trends especially in location-based circumstances. Also, we advocate not only making GIS contents to meet the international standards such as GML(Geography Markup Language) and TPEG(Transport Protocol Experts Group) but applying GIS as a killer application to oncoming diverse ICT areas including LBS(Location -Based Service), Telematics, ITS(Intelligent Transport System), gCRM(geographic Customer Relationship Management), DMB(Digital Multimedia Broadcasting), u(ubiquitous)-City and u-Town. Finally, we build a conceptual Business GIS model based on NGIS for QoS, standardization, R&D, education, and security.

The temperature rise of GIS (Gas Insulated Switchgear) busbar system is a vital factor that affects its performance. In this paper, a two-dimensional model is presented by commercial code CFX11 for the evaluation of natural convection in the busbar system. In the model, SF6 (Sulfur Hexafluoride) is used to insulate the high voltage device and improves the heat transfer rate. The power losses of a busbar calculated by the magnetic field analysis are used as the input data to predict the temperature rise by the nature convection analysis. The heat-transfer coefficients on the boundaries are analytically calculated by applying the Nusselt number considering material property and model geometry for the natural convection. The temperatures of the tank and conductors from CFX simulation and the experiment were compared. The results show a good agreement. In the future, we will calculate the 3-D model and try to reduce the temperature by adjusting some dimensional parameters.

Most of data objects in the real world have spatial and temporal information simultaneously. One of the objectives of spatiotemporal databases is to provide a very expressive framework for spatiotemporal database applications. The object oriented spatiotemporal model can manage spatiotemporal data efficiently because the model is able to store the complete history of any objects. Therefore, in order to handle the spatiotemporal data in object oriented fashion, we proposed a low dimensional spatiotemporal model in the object oriented fashion that extended dimensionally two dimensional spatial model of OpenGIS to fit into the real world information and to include temporal information. In order to proof the proposed model, we design a data provider component which consists of the data source, the session, the command, and the rowset component, and implement it. The proposed four dimensional spatiotemporal data model and provider in the object oriented fashion can be used to store, retrieve and manage the object oriented spatiotemporal data.

This study attempts at building an integrated GIS computing framework for evaluating space-time accessibility of an individual with the approach of time geography model. The proposed method is based on the integration of mobile GIS and object-relational spatio-temporal database. Three components are central to our system: ( i ) mobile GIS application that transmits spatio-temporal trajectory data of an individual; ( ii ) spatio-temporal database server that incorporates the time geography model; and (iii) geovisualization client that provides time geographic queries to the spatio-temporal database. As for the mobile GIS application, spatio-temporal trajectory data collected by GPS-PDA client is automatically transmitted to the database server through mobile data management middleware. The spatio-temporal database server implemented by extending a generic DBMS provides spatio-temporal objects, functions and query languages. The geovisualization client illustrates 3D visual results of the queries about space-time path. space-time prism and space-time accessibility. This study shows a method of integrating mobile GIS and DBMS for time geography application, and presents an appropriate spatio-temporal data model for evaluating space-time accessibility of an individual.

3D-based information is needed increasingly as well as 2D Information as cities grow and buildings become large and complex, and use of 3D-models is getting attention to handle such problems. However, there are limitations in using 3D-models because most applications and research efforts using them have been for visual analysis. This study presents a method to find optimal paths in indoor spaces as an illustration for using 3D-models in spatial analysis. We modeled rooms, paths and other facilities in a building as individual 3D objects. We made it possible to find paths based on network structure by integrating the vector-based networks of 2D-GIS and 3D-model.
