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 take-off, 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.

Analysis of modeling effort and impact of different levels of detail in building information models Leite, Fernanda; Akçamete Güngör, Aslı; Akinci, Burcu; Atasoy Özcan, Güzide; Kiziltas, Semiha (2011-08-01) The main objectives of this paper are to evaluate the modeling effort associated with generating building information modeling (BIM) at different levels of detail (LoD) and the impact of LoD in a project in supporting mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) design coordination. Results show an increase in total modeling time ranging from doubling the modeling effort to eleven folding it, when going from one LoD to another. When comparing modeling time per object, rates ranged from 0.2 (decreased modeling ...
An Investigation of building information modeling maturity in turkish small-medium size enterprises architectural and engineering firms Sarı, Ramazan; Pekeriçli, Mehmet Koray; Tanyer, Ali Murat; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2017) Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry experiences Building Information Modeling (BIM) transition process in all over the world. As the firms have advanced on BIM implementation, a necessity to benchmark the BIM performance has emerged. A couple of assessment tools were released for the sector to be used by organizations, individuals and governments to benchmark the BIM implementation maturity. The architecture and engineering firms in Turkey are also in the midst of BIM transition. Howev...
BIM EXECUTION PROCESS OF CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES FOR BUILDING PROJECTS GERÇEK, Bilge; Tokdemir, Onur Behzat; İLAL, MUSTAFA EMRE; GÜNAYDIN, HÜSNÜ MURAT (2017-07-29) Building Information Modeling (BIM) has been an emerging concept in architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry with a vast amount of promising benefits to construction projects. Implementation of BIM, however, requires comprehensive research and strategic planning. Industry-wide and organizational implementation guidelines and standards have been published around the world either to encourage organizations to adopt BIM or to present the minimum requirements to be followed where BIM implementa...
A Method for Facilitating 4D Modeling by Automating Task Information Generation and Mapping Altun, Murat; Akçamete Güngör, Aslı (2018-10-04) 4D modeling integrates 3D model with project time schedule to provide virtual simulation for identifying spatio-temporal problems earlier in construction projects. However, constructing a 4D model takes a significant amount of time and is prone to man-made errors due to its manual steps and repetitive nature. Therefore, in this study, a model based two-phase method is developed to facilitate linking 3D model with the schedule by automating the cumbersome steps. In the first phase, 4D Task IDs are created an...
BIM-CAREM: a reference model for building information modelling capability assessment Yılmaz, Gökçen; Akçamete Güngör, Aslı; Department of Information Systems (2017) Building Information Modelling (BIM) has been implemented by various Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Facilities Management (AEC/FM) firms in various countries due to inefficiencies in traditional construction project management practices. AEC/FM organization require to gauge the effectiveness of their BIM implementations for measuring their performance and enabling continuous improvement in BIM usage. Therefore, various BIM capability and maturity models are developed to help organizations achie...
