What a great time this week at the Transport Research Arena (TRA) in Lisbon! Prof. Rade Hajdin took to the stage to present the latest results of research with the topic “Concepts for the Integration of Data from Asset Management Systems into BIM”. He also contributed to the panel discussion with the subject “Innovative solutions […]

On Tuesday, Prof. Rade Hajdin will give a podium presentation with the title “Concepts for the Integration of Data from Asset Management Systems into BIM” during the Scientific and technical session with the topic “Innovation and the use of data, ITS and AI 1.3.4” (Time: 3:00–4:30 p.m.). We will also give a short presentation on

In October the PIARC Technical Committee 3.3 “Asset Management” and the Mexican Association of Roadway Engineering (AMIVTAC) organized an international seminar on the “Implementation of BIM in Road Asset Management” in Mexico City. The aim of this seminar was to provide a forum for the exchange of knowledge and experience on the possibilities and mechanisms

BIM is gaining increasing attention in the field of infrastructure management, both in research and in practice. Check out the latest paper of Rade Hajdin on the topic “BIM and BMS: Current Status and Challenges” which just got published in the latest issue of the e-BrIM magazine. Abstract: Bridges are a vital, but also extremely

This week we finally finished our research project BIM4AMS. In this project we worked on a solution for a Building Information Modeling (BIM)-enabled Infrastructure Asset Management System (AMS) for road owners. The approach provides asset managers with a strategy for the dynamic use of Information Containers for Linked Document Delivery (ICDDs), considering the requirements of

Last week, we had the opportunity to exchange ideas with numerous colleagues at the German Road and Transportation Congress in Dortmund. In the technical session with the topic of BIM, Prof. Rade Hajdin was able to give an insight into the BIM-related research activities in Switzerland with an exciting presentation on the question “How much

Our recent research work with the title “BIM-Enabled Infrastructure Asset Management Using Information Containers and Semantic Web” just got published in the latest issue of the Journal of Computing in Civil Engineering. Abstract: The paper proposes a solution for a Building Information Modeling (BIM)-enabled Infrastructure Asset Management System (AMS) for road owners. The approach provides

Current infrastructure maintenance relies on manual inspections which are the basis for decision making in asset management. In most cases photos are taken to document damages or deterioration processes. It is clear that at remote places the arm length manual inspection is hardly possible. Furthermore, it is advantageous to have a comprehensive visual documentation of

Our recent research work with the title “A methodology for probabilistic pavement condition forecast based on Bayesian filters” just got published in the latest issue of the Journal Structure and Infrastructure Engineering. Abstract: Decision making in pavement management relies on current road condition and the condition forecast. In this study, it is shown that both

Estimating the future condition of road networks is a challenging task due to an enormous number of influencing factors such as traffic volume and climate. Based on our previous research project ProZEnt we continued to work on new approaches to forecast pavement conditions in dependence on the material properties of road sections. Within the project
