of Interior Spaces

CTSSR Tech Showcase :: September 2, 2015
Overview
• What is interior space data?• Significance for situational awareness• Data and processes > User Interfaces• Stakeholders• Data management (laying the groundwork)• Interior Space data in GIS• Making the data usable and accessible• Visualization and user experience examples• Demo
Interior Space Data and Situational Awareness
• Interior Space data is the canvas or “base map” on which we overlay information about things that happen inside.– Historically, GIS = outside, CAD = inside
• “Situational awareness” applies to daily business operations as well as emergencies
• Situational awareness is advanced when– GIS data reflects current, authoritative data– User interfaces are intuitive, relevant and secure
• The development of an interior space system involves– Process discovery and improvement– Development of databases that can be reused across contexts– Development of user interfaces
Business Process Considerations
• Identify:– Systems of record
• HokieServ• CAD• GIS
– Use cases• Space
planning and mgmt
• Emergency mgmt
• Interior Routing
– Stakeholders• Stratification of systems
… avoid one size fits all approach

1) Engineering Ops updates local DWG master file. Saves DWG to T:\drive, saves PDF to T:\ drive, uses AimCAD to “publish” to AIM as part of the update workflow. Per (2) below, EO will also manually push DWG and PDF updates to LaserFiche going forward.
2) We plan to establish an SOP for manual data replication between T:\ Drive and LaserFiche. Meetings were held 2/26, 3/5 on this topic. The Laserfiche software limits opportunities for automated replication.
3) Need to improve the process by which CAD updates get propagated to GIS. How is GIS notified?
4) An automated script copies PDF files from T:\drive to space.facilities.vt.edu. Also copies DWG files, but they’re not used.
5) space.facilities.vt.edu website accesses attribute data directly from HokieServ.6) DB links are used to replicate attribute data to Enterprise GIS. (Currently this link is still pointing to Archibus)
7) Enterprise GIS subsequently replicates data to NI&S ATLAS DB.8) Right now there is no replication to Banner from the DB of record for space data (currently HokieServ)
** Note: With the removal of DWGs from space.facilities.vt.edu, Laserfiche becomes the most likely point for their distribution. During the course of planning for this increased volume of users, it may be an opportune time to revisit Laserfice access policies and SOPs.

Flo or Ar ea s
• Multiple GIS feature classes are created by Sync Engine– Floor outlines– CAD linework– Room points– Room polygons
• Room Polygons are joined to HokieServ room attributes
Spatial Views and Symbology• We can style
the map based on any attribute we can associate with a room via a view
• Consistency of cartography is important this context
• Standardized representations can be shared across multiple apps

Tilted Views
• Problem: Interior spaces are inherently 3-D. Maps are 2-D.
• Tilted views are an additional Sync Engine output
• Allows for creation of data driven pages (map books) of all spaces in a building

Invision FM : A Web-based Interior Space Viewer
• Requirements:– Web Interface– Floor Awareness (3D
problem)– Ability to display
multiple cartographic representations
– Reduced learning curve
– CAS integration– Reporting tools for
space planning– Multiple instances for
specific use cases (space management, emergency planning, etc.)
Invision FM Query and Analysis• For space
management use cases, visualization is necessary but insufficient.
• The UI enables selection based on any field in the database
• Selections can be combined for sophisticated space utilization studies
Invision FM Reporting
• Invision FM enables the generation of space metrics in summary form
• Reports can be run campus wide, based on a selection, or a specific building
• Report capabilities are evolving and driven by user feedback
• … let us know what you need!
Visualization: Mobile Clients
• Interior space data needs to be accessible on multiple device form factors
• Invision RCV is the off-the-shelf viewer we implemented for mobile devices
The Road Ahead• Completion of ETL for remaining buildings• Invision FM trial period continues
– Stakeholder meetings– Hands on evaluation– Selection of Invision FM modules to purchase
• Quality Assurance work on floor plans (ongoing)• Improvements to Invision FM UX (provide your feedback!)• Resolution of “forks” in the floor plans inventory• Training of users on Invision FM• Integration of additional databases for specific use cases (EHSS, Banner)• Standardization of map cartography• Additional Invision FM instances
– avoid “one size fits all” – segment user communities to simplify UI
and ensure data is properly safeguarded
INVISION FM DEMO
• Kiosk set up for hands-on interaction• … please provide comments and sign the sheet if you’d like
your PID to have access to Invision FM
