Project Goal
The inland waterway system of Ho Chi Minh City includes 83 domestic waterway routes that spread throughout the city, as announced by the city's People's Committee in Decision No. 2580/QÐ-UBND on July 20, 2021. These waterway routes have not yet been fully surveyed and documented, lacking complete data on aspects such as channel bed elevations, inland waterway signals, river crossing structures, embankments, inland waterway ports and docks, and constructions along both riverbanks.Business Problem Solved
The integration of BIM and 3D GIS developing digital model represents the real world, visually presented in 3D, with layers of data for the city's inland waterway management. It applies to projects related to planning, land clearance in riverbank protection corridors, riverside urban beautification, embankment protection, and new crossing projects. The entire city's inland waterway system model not only allows for the assessment of the current state, development planning studies, and detailed examination of the riverbed surface and depth at every point, a comprehensive view of related structures along the routes and banks, and integration of geological layers and relevant construction information for management, maintenance, and repair but also enables the recreation of scenarios within the whole system. It sets up simulation scenarios for all water transport activities on the channel, flood situations, sedimentation, or possible incident scenarios, to develop response plans.
Technology Implemented
Esri's suite of solutions offers an integrated approach to spatial data management, enabling comprehensive field data collection, real-time progress monitoring, detailed data analysis, and immersive simulation.
Main Esri Technology implemented with this project are ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Field Maps, ArcGIS Dashboard and ArcGIS Online Scene Services.
Implementing with ArcGIS Maps SDK for Game Engine to bridge the gap between geospatial data and game engine technologies, enabling the creation of detailed simulations and digital twins. This integration not only enhances the visualization of complex spatial scenarios but also offers a platform for scenario planning and decision support, making it a comprehensive toolkit for managing and leveraging spatial data across various stages of the project development.
