LandsD extends coverage of 3D Indoor Map to all MTR stations
************************************************************
The LandsD collaborated with MTR Corporation Limited to release the 3D Indoor Map of around 30 selected MTR stations in March this year, providing information on points of interest and a supporting indoor point-to-point pedestrian route planning service within the stations. The coverage of the 3D Indoor Map has now been extended to the entire rail network, covering all 98 MTR stations across 10 MTR lines, namely Airport Express, Disneyland Resort Line, East Rail Line, Island Line, Kwun Tong Line, South Island Line, Tseung Kwan O Line, Tsuen Wan Line, Tuen Ma Line and Tung Chung Line. The Map provides interior layout information of the publicly accessible areas within stations, such as levels, units, shops, points of interest and indoor routes.
To support point-to-point route planning, the 3D Indoor Network captures connections between different parts of the stations, linking facilities, shops, entrances and exits as well as interfacing with the outdoor 3D Pedestrian Network. Based on information stored in the 3D Indoor Map and the 3D Indoor Network, the system displays facilities and areas along routes and offers barrier-free route options.
The 3D Indoor Map dataset has been uploaded to the Common Spatial Data Infrastructure (CSDI) Portal (portal.csdi.gov.hk) for free download by the public. To support application development, the portal also provides multiple Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), including the APIs of the 3D Indoor Map of MTR stations and the 3D Pedestrian Route Search, together with sample codes demonstrating related functions. Members of the public can also browse the 3D Indoor Map and use the point-to-point route planning tool on the online application platform "Open3Dhk" (3d.map.gov.hk).
In addition, the LandsD launched the 3D Visualisation Map (non-textured models) in late September this year. The new dataset covers the whole territory of Hong Kong and consists of over 220 000 geometric models representing different types of ground features, including buildings and infrastructure. It has been uploaded to the CSDI Portal for free download by the public.
