What is Virtual Seoul (S-Map)?
Virtual Seoul (S-Map) is a twin city that replicates the entire Seoul area (605.23 km2) in 3D in cyberspace. It is a digital twin system that can combine and even simulate information, such as administration and environment, in a virtual space.
S-Map dataset
- [Ground] 600,000 structures, facilities (bridge, overpass, pedestrian bridge, etc.), geospatial data (605.23 km2)
- [Underground] 6 kinds of underground facilities (waterworks, gas piping, telecommunications, heating systems)
- [Indoor] Public structures, subway stations, IoT-embedded fire extinguishing facilities, etc.
- [Geotechnics] Geographical and contour maps, interpolation, surveying control points
Virtual Seoul (S-Map) platform
- Selection of ideal map environment according to the analysis model, simple box type established with 4 categories, box type which reflects geographic information, live model, detailed model including indoors information
- 3D analysis for policy reflection, simulation diagnosis and prediction
- 3D analysis through convergence and integration of administrative information, urban phenomenon sensing information, etc.
- Information analysis according to each used model and diagnosis/prediction using simulations for decision-making
- Visualization of 3D spatial information and providing a foundation for integration with various administrative services
- Integration of spatial information with the integrated spatial information system
- Citizen participation using spatial data and establishment of customized services
- Usage as a window for citizen communication through citizen participation in policies, online submission of opinions, and information sharing, etc.
- Provision of basic 3D map to all departments ⇒ Planned integration and API provision
- Visualization of 3D information and prevention of duplicate investment
- Expansion of data usage through integrated management of 3D spatial information for all departments
