BIM-enabled semantic web for automated safety checks in subway construction

“…Tian et al [26] integrated a backpropagation neural network, BIM model and sensor data to check the risk factors for tunnel deformation in subway construction. Li et al [27] further proposed a holistic construction safety management framework based on the digital twins concept, where 4D BIM and sensors were adopted to provide the physical model and dynamic construction data respectively. Additionally, ASP created by Schultz et al [28] was used to conduct rule-based "Space-Time" safety checking.…”

Engineering of Digital Twins for Cyber-Physical Systems

“…In [4], Li et al examine the potential of 4-dimensional BIM (BIM updated with real-time sensor data from a construction site or building) as a basis for digital twins. In particular, the paper illustrates how abductive reasoning can provide a basis for checking conformance to construction safety codes.…”

Digital Twinning processes for the built heritage construction site: opportunities and implementation scenarios

“…The main experiences analyzed (Tabs. 1 and 2) are related to the monitoring of materials, equipment, and workers [4-6], the optimization of safety on-site [7-10], the DT [11,12,[13][14][15][16][17] and the automation of the entire construction process [18,12]. Among these, only a few have specifically focused on operations and sites related to recovering the historical-architectural heritage.…”
