The Future City Pilot Phase 1 (FCP1) is an OGC Interoperability Program initiative, in collaboration with buildingSMART International (bSI). The pilot aimed at demonstrating and enhancing the ability of spatial data infrastructures to support quality of life, civic initiatives and urban resilience. During the pilot, multiple scenarios were set up based on real-world requirements and were put forward by the pilot sponsors: Sant Cugat del Vallès (Barcelona, Spain), Ordnance Survey Great Britain (UK), virtualcitySYSTEMS GmbH (Germany), and Institut National de l’Information Géographique et Forestière - IGN (France).
The scenarios were focused on (i) the interoperability between the two international standards Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) and CityGML, (ii) city flood modelling, and (iii) supporting real-time sensor readings and other time-dependent properties within semantic 3D city models. The solutions for respective scenarios were developed by the pilot participants: University of Melbourne (Australia), Remote Sensing Solutions, Inc. (U.S.A), and Chair of Geoinformatics, Tecchnische Universität München (Germany).
