Towards Application of Landinfra Standard for Highway Management in Korea

Abstract

Abstract. This paper presents the modeling of the 44 registration subjects officially recorded in the road register of Korea to an international geospatial open standard. Due to current requirements, needs in road management and maintenance, road register data management must be improved as more data is accumulated and collected. Most importantly the metadata concerning road register assets is increasingly important in terms of data quality. This work discussed how OGC LandInfra international open standard will possibly be applied to the Korean Road Register for Highway Management and Maintenance. As a result, we proposed an OGC LandInfra standard-based road data model showing the standard can possibly be applied to the road register.

Development of a Conceptual Data Model for 3D Geospatial Road Management Based on LandInfra Standard: A Case Study of Korea

“…Each of these parts is implemented into the corresponding InfraGML parts. This study builds on the findings of previous studies [10,13], with the aim of developing a conceptual data model based on the LandInfra standard for road infrastructure management in Korea in order to facilitate the support of road management by 3D geoinformation while also investigating potential further applications of LandInfra. To achieve this goal, the development of the LandInfra-based data model was investigated from two perspectives: (1) use of the standard as a leverage to improve the current 2D GIS-based road management model to the real-world 3D geospatial information-supported model;…”

“…To apply road management classes to the LandInfra standard, an investigation of the corresponding classes between the road management classes and LandInfra requirements classes was required. This process is known as mapping, and the first step towards mapping is to match the corresponding classes by identifying each class [10,13].…”

“…Other road maintenance activities include snow removal, road repairs, milestone management, and road furniture replacement [4]. At present, information related to road management and maintenance is generally digitized and stored in a GIS-based form in a database, known as the road management system, for use in the maintenance and management of road pavements [5][6][7], road assets (road register) [8][9][10], and integrated road management systems [11][12][13].…”

“…Although the LandInfra standard is a comparatively new standard and InfraGML has no explicit software implementation support, the standard is not often utilized in practice [10,22,29]. Several studies have discussed potential real applications of LandInfra in Figure 1.…”

“…Although the LandInfra standard is a comparatively new standard and InfraGML has no explicit software implementation support, the standard is not often utilized in practice [10,22,29]. Several studies have discussed potential real applications of LandInfra in general, or roads in particular; these include implementing InfraGML with IFC Alignment for the verification of transferring information between different systems/software [30]; reviewing the application of LandInfra for road asset information exchange [25]; development of the CityGML application domain extension for LandInfra [29]; integration of data standards such as CityGML, IFC, and Building Information Model (BIM)-GIS using LandInfra for providing interoperability [31][32][33]; examining the applicability of LandInfra to street space modeling [21,22]; and transportation infrastructure [24].…”
