Emergency Management using Augview

How Augmented Reality can help in disaster scenarios

CEM pillars (Comprehensive Emergency

Management)

● Mitigation ● Preparedness

● Response ● Recovery

GIS (Geographic Information System) & BIM (Building Information Modelling) were designed to support geographical inquiry and, ultimately, spatial decision making.

Present impact of potential disaster

● Present lack of shared GIS data for Risk assessment

● No on-the-ground active response system currently in use

● Council and asset owners will be forced to collaborate after disaster event

- Why not now?

● Precious resources/time lost after first impact due to lack of preparation

● Infrastructure is inaccurate and incomplete, which will lead to confusion

and recovery delay

Present impact of potential disaster● Planned recovery time frame unrealistic

● Silo effect between asset owners and contractors resulting in poor

communication interpersonal and data communication

● Recovery and rebuild won’t be effective and therefore burst budget, overrun

project timeframes leading to economic impact

● Affected region will lose population as a result

Using Augview for Emergency Management

● Easy sharing of asset data across multiple GIS servers

● High data security

● Instant GIS & BIM data update capability with internet connection

● Offline capability with update function once connected to Wifi

● Customized 2D map layers to enhance information flow (i.e. evacuation

routes)

Using Augview for Emergency Management

● 3D Augmented Reality spatial view with option to pair to external high accuracy GPS

● Ability to locate and identify underground or covered assets fast, i.e. storm water drains, manholes, fire hydrants, gas shut-off valves

● Increased H&S through immediate visibility of dangerous assets● Strong team collaboration tool to improve communication between ground

crew and office● Simple and easy to use and fast to learn

What’s required for collaboration?

● Asset data published on a GIS server

● … or Asset data available as shapefile, which gets updated every 1-2

weeks and hosted on a cloud server

● … or paper plans are converted to GIS data by Augview consultation

service (Special offer) plus standing up a GIS server (>NZ$5,000)

● Contractual agreement who is allowed access to the Emergency

Management project

Augview user setup

● Delivery of standard DialB4UDig T&C to be integrated into Augview

● Assignment of Emergency Team using Augview

● Digital Device (External GPS optional) per Emergency Team member

● Register company, users, devices on Augview registration server

● Download Augview license onto device (and connect external GPS)

● Receive confidential credentials

● Emergency Management Team training (2-4 hrs)

● Integration of Augview into standard Civil Defence training projects

Additional benefits for asset owners impacting on the bottom line...

● Collaboration between asset owners can result in reducing DialB4UDig

enquiry fee payout!!!

● Increase in data accuracy and completeness over time

● Reduced cable strikes and project overruns

● Crews will ALWAYS have the correct information at hand

● Ability to plan and quote faster and more accurate

● Safer environment for field crew due to timely, comprehensible and

enhanced information. Less injuries!

● Dangerous asset alert ensures risk awareness in the work area!
