driving future ESO capabilities through spatial resource and innovations

outline

drivers building better content building a better pipe building better services national perspective bandwidth: getting to Carnegie Square conclusion

drivers: broadband

drivers: technology communications convergence

digital persistence: content available everywhere, anytime

universal access: content will ‘slide’ from office networks to mobile device without loss of quality or functionality

resource discovery: find and access data, services application must be fast, easy, authoritative

vanishing organisational and sectoral boundaries: people, communities, public and private companies intermeshed

Vicmap Features of Interest

building better content: NES

coordination 200+ data custodians to manage data contributions from 600+ data sets to be managed in an integrated, seamless

environment 1,000+ data users to distribute data to potentially, hundreds of thousands of end users (the public)

how do we keep these data current and accurate?

building better content: NES

‘base level’ maintenance 70,000+ new properties every year 70,000+ new addresses every year about 5,000 new roads every year significant investment in upgrading elevation data,

especially in coastal areas the ‘knock-on’ effects:

improved elevation data means adjusting the contours adjusting the contours means adjusting the hydrography adjusting the hydrography means adjusting the bridge adjusting the bridge means adjusting the road ... building points, orchards, windfarms … any (many) of the 200 layers in the topographic maps

what value for ESOs? emergency management vehicles fundamentally no

different to construction or agricultural machinery Statewide, and the precursor for a national rollout what value for ESOS?

real-time high reliability 2cm accurate audited and recorded

implementation barriers? current high cost of field devices – will (and will need to)

reduce before viable for ESOs – possibly 24-36 months

national perspective

Victorian initiatives covered also in rollout in other States, and at national level

better content: national data sets jointly delivered by States and territories and the Australian government through PSMA Australia

better pipes: national web services and delivery channels also being jointly delivered through PSMA Australia – the LYNX information sharing platform

better services: ANZLIC, PSMA Australia and CRCSI-2 jointly investigating national positioning services

complementary or contributing initiatives in States and Territories

bandwidth

how do you get to Carnegie Hall? practice, practice, practice

how do you get to the Control Centre? bandwidth, bandwidth, bandwidth

bandwidth

opportunity: fibre optic connectivity for emergency services

a combination of potential sources: commercial fibre backhaul providers — nextgen, Telstra utility fibre owners — SPAusNet, Powercor new fibre funded by Victorian Government —

VicFibreLINKS new fibre funded by the Australian Government —

Regional Backbone Blackspots Program the last two are extending the reach of competitive

fibre backhaul into regional Victoria fibre optic connectivity means the rich content and

services covered in this presentation will be available for use in Control Centres

conclusion

in support of ESOs

better content

better pipes

better services

bandwidth to deliver the benefits
