The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) is inviting members and non-members to participate in its 3D IoT Platform for Smart Cities Pilot.

The goal of the pilot, which is sponsored by the Korea Land and Housing Corporation, is to advance the use of open standards for integrating environmental, building and internet of things (IoT) data in smart cities. It will focus on two scenarios: real-time monitoring of indoor occupancy and real-time monitoring of micro-dust air pollutants.

According to OGC, participants in this pilot will connect their technology and expertise with real city needs while collaborating with other participants to advance open standards for smart cities. OGC hopes the outcomes of the pilot will help facilitate and standardize the access to environmental, building and IoT data in smart cities.

This Initiative is being conducted under OGC’s Innovation Program, the research and development laboratory of OGC. Under OGC’s Innovation Program, sponsors and OGC members come together to address geospatial IT challenges.
