Bridge Information Modeling Standardization – Report Introduction

Bridge Information Modeling Standardization is a multi-volume Report that analyzes options for standardized approaches for modeling bridges across their lifecycle. The goal of the Report is to identify and evaluate candidate open standards that can be used to document all aspects of bridges to identify viable standards that can be used by bridge owners to specify information delivery requirements and by software providers to meet those requirements. After evaluation of the viable available options, the Report goes on to provide an in-depth analysis based on test cases of real bridge projects of a viable alternative. Accompanying the Report is a comprehensive exchange specification to assist software developers to implement the findings to the benefit of bridge owners.
