Design and implementation of municipal facilities management system based on mobile mapping system and wireless transmission system

This paper focuses on the design and development of Municipal Facilities Management System (MFMS). Street images and videos were collected by Wuhan LD2000-R Mobile Mapping System, and real-time videos on site under emergency conditions were captured by Wireless Transmission System. In MFMS, any street can be queried and located, visual information of facilities on the streets can be viewed, as well as real-time videos on site can be checked quickly. Furthermore, the size of facilities or the distances can be measured directly on the images; the density of facilities can also be calculated, etc. MFMS is a C/S software architecture, C# was selected as programming language and SQL Server 2005 as database server, and TrueMapEngine API and ArcEngine as development tools. To test how MFMS can be effectively used to manage municipal facilities, the system has been deployed in Beijing Garden Bureau of Xicheng District for their actual business.
