SURVEY DATA ACQUISITION

Road Network

Introduction

The management and maintenance of bridges in road networks is responsible by many bridge authorities to use computer-based databases or bridge management systems (BMSs) as data management and analysis tools to aid them in performing many important bridge management functions and decisions. Due to superior spatial data handling capabilities, geographic information system (GIS) technology is increasingly being considered for implementation in many infrastructure planning and management systems, including bridge management systems

Data Acquisition 

In Malaysia, the road network data is required by Public Works Department (JKR) and also one of the implementing agencies under the Ministry of Work (MOW) (with exception of Sabah and Sarawak, whereby JKR in these two states is under respective state government).

Cost

Schedule of Rate for Bulk Works is part of the document based on the contract drawings and specifications to be used as a basis for valuation of variation. Schedule of Rate was updates two years by the Unit Cost, CKUB current market price of building materials, labor wages and hire of plant/machinery. It is sold to the public in Central Tender Unit, Procurement and Property Mangement Branch, Ground Floor, Block A, Minintry of Works, Jalan Sultan Salahuddin, 50582 Kuala Lumpur at RM 5.00 per copy.

In JUPEM, Road Map is sold at RM 1.00 per copy for hardcopy and RM130-RM960 per copy for digital depends on scale.

Building Data

Introduction

The collection and maintenance of buildings in geospatial features for spatial analysis and mapping is quite expensive. Buildings can be analysed in 2D or 3D with the help of ArcMap or 3D Analyst in order to support modelling and simulation planning effort.

Data Acquisition

LAND USE MAP

Introduction

Land Use Map is a map that provides a land use classes of a region and its information. There are a number of different applications for such maps, and in many nations, land use maps are prepared by several government agencies, for a variety of reasons. Individual groups and organizations can also generate maps with land use information. Often, such maps are publicly available, so that people who are interested in land use trends can access them.

Introduction

LiDAR is an active remote sensing technology recently developed using laser light pulses emitted at a rate between 5,000 and 500,000 pulses per second in a scanning array to the area of interest from a plane or helicopter (Chanikarn,2010). Some LiDAR data can be downloaded for free, but some of its have a specific cost to be paid. The LiDAR companies also sell their data to researchers and its clients.

SATELLITE IMAGERY IMAGE (QUICKBIRD & SPOT)

Introduction

QuickBird is a high-resolution commercial earth observation satellite, owned by DigitalGlobe and launched in 2001. The satellite collects panchromatic (black & white) imagery at 60-70 centimeter resolution and multispectral imagery at 2.4- and 2.8-meter resolutions. DigitalGlobe is simply the best at identifying the world’s natural resources, monitoring pipelines and facilities, understanding the earth’s environmental condition, protecting homelands and borders, responding to emergencies and natural disasters; then rebuilding, and planning investments in multi-million dollar infrastructure developments. Spot satellite image has been introduced by Spot Image, a public limited company created in 1982 by the French Space Agency, Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES), the IGN, and Space Manufacturers (Matra, Alcatel, SSC, etc.) is a subsidiary of EADS Astrium (99%). The company is the commercial operator for the SPOT Earth observation satellites. The 2 SPOT satellites in orbit (Spot 4 and 5) provide images with a large choice of resolutions – from 2.5 m to 10 m.

Data Acquisitions

In Malaysia, the satellite imagery data is acquired by Malaysian Remote Sensing Agency (MRSA) under Ministry of Science,Technology and Innovation (MOSTI). The data also can be downloaded in some specific websites.  The QuickBird Company, DigitalGlobe also acquired data for their clients and they may but it online or work directly with their company.
