Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an intelligent 3D model-based process to more efficiently plan, design, construct, and manage buildings and infrastructure. Digital technologies provide real time data access allowing designers, contractors and owners to communicate remotely and virtually to ensure optimal results and efficiency. They also allow for digital management and storage of project documents including pay records, delivery tickets and inspection records.
Intelligent Paving, a subset of Intelligent Construction, is a form of BIM for Roadways. Intelligent Paving focuses on 3D modeling for design and automated machine guidance for the construction of roadways, as well as offering advanced monitoring technology for continuous, comprehensive and real time quality control and assurance of asphalt paving projects.
