BIM Visual Programming Tools Applications in Infrastructure Projects: A State-of-the-Art Review

et al. 2021

The Building Information Modeling (BIM) methodology improves architectural and infrastructure projects by digitizing their processes throughout their life cycle stages, such as design, construction, management, monitoring, and operation. In recent years, the automation of these processes has been favored by the use of visual programming (VP) tools that have replaced conventional programming languages for visual schemes. The use of these tools in architectural projects is becoming increasing popular. However, this is not the case in infrastructure projects, for which the use of VP algorithms remains scarce. The aim of this work is to encourage both scholars and engineers to implement VP tools in infrastructure projects. For this purpose, this work reviews, for the first time in the literature, the state-of-the-art and future research trends of VP tools in infrastructure projects.

“…Such an event might be a data input by the user, the calculation of mathematical formulae, a decision resulting from an if-then condition, or the execution of text-based source code. By virtue of its ability to automate the developed processes by means of a workflow engine, BPMN can be classified as belonging to the category of visual programming languages' (Häußler et al, 2021). In practice, however, Chan only uses BPMN for visualizing the workflow but does not make it executable.…”

“…'Digital methods like building information modeling (BIM) offer considerable advantages in the construction industry over the conventional methods that still largely prevail in current practice' (Häußler et al, 2021).

“…The individual calculation and design steps are often based on knowledge that is already set out in standards and guidelines in the form of rules, see (Häußler et al, 2021). At present, however, the construction industry lacks standardized methods for digitally mapping existing knowledge in such a way that it is machine-readable, so that it can be evaluated and reused, compare (İlal and Günaydın, 2017).…”

Designing railway infrastructure is a knowledge-intensive task. Although there are a number of mature design authoring systems available, their support for dynamically incorporating domain-specific engineering knowledge is very limited. At the same time, a standardized digital representation of railway engineering knowledge (such as building codes and best practice) does not exists. To overcome this deficiency, this paper proposes the use of Knowledge Based Engineering (KBE) to automate routine design tasks by considering multiple knowledge sources. In this scenario, KBE is used to support a Railway design authoring system. To ensure maximum transparency in the design of the developed KBE application, graphical ‘Business Process Model and Notation’ (BPMN) has been used in combination with ‘Decision Model and Notation’ (DMN) to formalize the underlying engineering knowledge. The KBE application has been developed according to the Methodology for Knowledge-Based Engineering Applications (MOKA). An evaluation of the BPMN/DMN approach shows that it meets up to 58% of the acceptance criteria found in the literature. In addition, BPMN and DMN can already be used in the early capture phase of MOKA and its workflows can be developed into an executable KBE application in the subsequent phases. The results of the test example discussed here show that time savings of up to 97.5% can be achieved in the execution of the KBE application.
