A 3-D MODEL OF AN INSTITUTIONAL LOCATION NAVIGATION SYSTEM (NAVILOC) (A CASE STUDY OF COVENANT UNIVERSITY)
2019
Covenant University location navigation system (CU Naviloc) built on the Android
platform is a mobile based system which can be easily accessed from an android
mobile device across any location, downloadable on Google play store and
deployable anywhere in the world. In this study,Computer-aided design as well as
building Information modelling (CAD/BIM) system applications were introduced to
the simulation of Covenant University, a smart and compact campus whose edifice
elaborates the need for the development of a three dimensional (3D) virtual model of
locations as an advancement over the existing 2D model representation of maps on
the Google map and Google Earth platform. Therefore, this research work outlays the
development of three dimensional models (CU NAViLoc Model) for details of
information at Covenant University as well as the requirements for its development
and implementation for cooperate representation of the institution. A three
dimensional map of CU was packaged into a location navigation system and was
implemented using Unreal Engine, Trimble SketchUp and Revit to effect a user
friendly, smarter and multi-dimensional viewable user interface. CU Naviloc explore
the advantage of the rich benefits of building information models and geographic
information systems to build a free-roam navigator, based on a well-updated model of
Covenant University location map. The benefits of this system is not limited to 3D
capability, real time similarity, portability, no downtime on access, and progressive
scalability with zero or little loss of data. The usage of the CU Naviloc system
requires free download and installation of the app and internet presence.
