The broader disruption context

Sense – think – act@ The Internet of Things – sensor devices (including people!)@ The internet itself – pervasive connectivity and communications@ Cloud computing – processing and thinking grunt @ Back to the Internet of Things – actuator devices (including people!)

Focus of this presentation is spatial and positioning:@ Changing model for information services – get it out there@ Step-change in positioning – precise, real-time positioning completely

ubiquitous@ Land Capability Modelling – looking and thinking holistically about land

Information services

Build the ‘do what you want’ channel@ Out in the cloud to be fully accessible, strong Access Control@ Service levels@ Metadata@ Potential cost recovery component

Expect and use the ‘do what you want’ channel

@ Draw on multiple channels@ Create new Systems of Record@ Create new ‘do what you want’ channels

Positioning Services

The demand for precise positioning and location services is increasing…

@ A fundamental requirement for our future economy@ Tracking, auditability and traceability as important as accuracy

Source: GNSS Market Report, Issue 4© European GNSS Agency, 2015

Half the market can get by with 5-10 metres accuracy, but many will want

auditability

Half the market needs 2cm accuracy

9

Positioning Services

Transport the lion’s share (of users), but agriculture, surveying, asset management critically important

10

11

Autonomous vehicles

What positional accuracy?@ 300mm on the open road, 75mm in parking areas

Combination of sensors@ LiDAR (light detection and ranging)@ Radar@ Cameras @ Ultrasonic@ Infrared

Positioning@ Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS)@ inertial navigation systems (INS)

Not just ‘cars’ – drones, vacuum cleaners, gardeners, …

12

Positioning Services – but

Precise positioning is hard! Continental drift (among a host of confounding factors)

@ Victoria is charging off north-east at ~6cm a year (.00068 km/h)@ Hold onto your real estate – in 327,400,000 years Melbourne will be in

Byron Bay

Positioning must be authoritative and universal

@ as fundamental as the standards for weights, measures, time, …

@ Core role for government

13

GPSnet

The ‘wine cork’ vision@ GPSnet is world class positioning infrastructure@ GPSNet embodies the economic, strategic and policy

imperatives driving the National Positioning Infrastructure (NPI) initiative at national level

@ When implemented, GPSnet will be Victoria’s contribution to NPI

Completion in 2010 has brought forward $80million in productivity gains

@ The early, shallow end of the take-up rate@ We’re five years ahead of other States in realising the full

benefits

14

Positioning services

Build a positioning and location service to support Victoria’s future economy

@ Fundamental geodetic framework and policy, and@ Broad-based positioning services infrastructure – GPSnet @ Private sector deliver services from the core framework, policy

and infrastructure

Be ready to leverage positioning@ all/any applications and services, all levels of government and in

private sector@ Service delivery, field operations, scheduling@ Transport and logistics@ Asset management@ Autonomous vehicle/device control and direction@ Auditability and traceability

15

Land Capability Modelling (LCM)

Maximise productivity from Victoria’s land and land information resources

@ All relevant inputs – not just ‘land’ attributes - transportation, infrastructure, workforce availability, planning conditions, natural resources, climate and weather, …

@ Develop scenarios, identify trade-offs, balance competing interests – not a ‘black box’ picking a winner

@ Authoritative, open information resource available to all – public, private, academic and community sectors – to drive co-production

LCM Pilot vs future implementation

Pilot@ ~80 data sets@ 2 reporting units (LGAs,

ASGC)@ One grid size (100m x

100m, ~23 million grid cells for each Victoria-wide data set)

@ Single epoch

@ Minimal infrastructure (< 20 second response time) at 100m grid resolution

@ Limited access

Future Implementation

@ 600 data sets@ 60 reporting units@ Nested grids (10, 25, 50,

100, 250 and 500 metres, 1, 5, 10 kilometres)

@ Full time series (quarterly or six monthly, plus as required)

@ Solid, scalable cloud infrastructure (< 5 second response time) all grids

@ Multi-sector access

20

LCM: benefits

Simple, rapid scenario insight@ Simple quick sensitivity analysis@ Simple quick meaningful insight to competing demands and trade-

offs

Data provisioning service@ Deliver to public, private, academic and community sectors@ Reduce data management duplication, which can be up to 75%+

Single authoritative source@ Data available to public, private, academic and community sectors@ Universal acceptance of data inputs, focus on analysis and outcomes

Maximise benefits of information holdings@ Support DataVic Open Access Policy, evidence-based policy

development@ Support a wide range of policy/service development processes
