Infra-Bim for Business Processes’ Management in Road Construction and Operation

Abstract

Introduction: The article addresses the business processes of the construction and operation of linear road sections. In the course of the study, we analyzed the geographic information system (GIS) of Avtodor company (developer: Indor-Soft, Tomsk) and its use in the operation and maintenance of transport infrastructure facilities at such road sections. In particular, we studied the construction of the Far West Krasnodar Bypass (FWKB), which is part of the North-South transport corridor, and its implementation by means of InfraBIM modeling. Purpose of the study: We aimed to describe the structured GIS database of Avtodor company by connecting various InfraBIM tools for the purposes of data generation and road model update. Methods: Analyzing the GIS of Avtodor company when using an InfraBIM model of road infrastructure, we studied the following: use of GIS features at the facility; asynchronous editing and selection of data without access to the Internet; database update. Results: InfraBIM models of linear road sections, developed in the implementation of such projects as the FWKB, make it possible to optimize time and save money when planning and introducing measures during the operation of transport infrastructure facilities.

Civil Integrated Management (CIM) for Advanced Level Applications to Transportation Infrastructure: A State-of-the-Art Review

“…Studies in the field of transportation infrastructure have shown that implementing GIS in a project could reduce project costs while increasing workflow accuracy and efficiency [37,134,135]. GIS capabilities were employed to find highway sections that received multiple reconstructions over their planning prospect [136], apply geotechnical considerations in a highway layout [102], detect utility conflicts in railway projects prior to construction [38], prioritize maintenance plans [137], create a geo-enabled geometric design for highways, conduct environmental assessment of concrete mixes [138], and optimize construction site material distribution layout [139].…”
