Application of Building Information Modeling on Sidewalk Management

Abstract:

In recently years, Governments actively transform urban landscape construction in Taiwan, causing substantial increase in the pavement area and maintenance of the sidewalk. However, the recurring damage to sidewalk could lead to the risk of pedestrian injury. This study investigated the damage to the sidewalk, and introduced the Building Information Modeling (BIM) to develop a management mechanism applicable to the sidewalk. Analysis results are shown as follows: 1. BIM can create the sidewalk sections, floor tiles destruction type, location and other information with the damaged area. Sidewalk elements of BIM can provide proper sidewalk tiles location and information. 2. Application mode can effectively utilize the characteristics of BIM. The model is through visual control to manage operations. 3. BIM can help managers with quickly destroy the recorded contents and disposal measures. Identification color of damage condition for tiles, and automated statistics can be applied to analyze the damage results of sidewalk. Therefore, it can improve the efficiency and quality for overall maintenance operations.
