Derivation of BIM/GIS Platform Application Scenarios and Definition of Specific Functions in Construction Planning and Design

Abstract

BIM (Building Information Model) and GIS (Geographic Information System) are applied widely to all stages (Planning - Design - Building - Maintenance) of construction. Recently, research for designing an integrated BIM/GIS platform has been conducted to determine the synergy effects. This paper reports the derivation of BIM/GIS platform application scenarios and definition of specific functions in construction planning and design phases. First, BIM/GIS application scenarios and platform functions are derived for each phase based on an analysis of business affairs. Second, SW functions, which compose platform function, are defined. In the construction planning phase, location selection and route location business affairs were analyzed. Preliminary design and detailed design business affairs were analyzed in the construction design phase. The result of this research can be used for BIM/GIS integrated platform design in the future.
