Abstract

Building Information Modeling (BIM) can be tracked back to the 70s and has become more widespread over the last decades, expanding from residential projects to other sectors like transportation infrastructure; its application ranges from the design phase to maintenance management and operation control, providing enriched models with data that can be exchanged among professionals of different industries. Thanks to Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) technology it is possible to collect technical data for transportation infrastructure, along with an efficient control of transportation systems like traffic flows with sophisticated algorithms. BIM and ITS can be combined together and further implemented with other technologies like Geographic Information System (GIS); this can be done thanks to IT tools like Unified Modelling Language (UML). The integration of BIM with ITS, especially if considered within a larger scheme like Smart Cities or smart transportation networks, facilitates operations such as the management of Intelligent Road Intersections, monitoring structural safety of bridges, or managing the maintenance activities of airport runways.
