Building Information Modeling (BIM) is one of the latest trends in the construction sector and utilized for modeling, reviewing and analyzing building projects for the last two decades with benefits including visualization, planning, and estimation. BIM provides a well-organized and streamlined approach for building projects; however, its application for highway projects has been scarce. Progressing requirements, increasing number of stakeholders, integrated design solutions, expanding model uses and rapid evolution of construction sector lead to the implementation and integration of new technologies and applications. Thus, Highway Information Modeling (HIM) becomes a necessity to facilitate design, quantity takeoff , simulation, clash detection and many other uses. However, neither the definitions of the uses nor the platforms to perform such analysis on highway projects throughout their life cycle are sufficient and well defined. Hence, the initial objective of this study is to provide an overview of information necessary for defining HIM concepts and developing HIM guidelines. The secondary objective is to present a case study to illustrate the elementary interoperability capabilities of current tools. Interoperability seeks information exchange requirements and data loss in physical, functional and semantic properties of elements.
