Abstract
Abstract. Effective and safe transportation infrastructure presents one of the crucial conditions for functional society. Its ceaseless development and construction can be taken as a proof of its importance even despite the corresponding financial and time demands. The complexity and scale of the projects related to transportation infrastructure presents an ideal field for implementation of the BIM approaches. However, it is necessary to implement the BIM to the whole life cycle of the transport structure, especially not only to the pre-investment and investment phases but also to the operation and maintenance. For every road infrastructure, it is important to observe the performance of the road, behaviour of road users and evaluate the resulting safety risks, to be able to correspond with adequate and effective measures and to secure sufficient level of safety. The paper aims to present an implementation of the road safety aspects and statistics into the processes of BIM applications and strategies, which are prepared on the base of Government Resolution No 958, on the importance of the Building Information Modelling (BIM) in the Czech Republic. The accident statistics, safety audits and inspections presents a valuable source of information that should be adequately implemented with the BIM processes.
Highlights
Transportation infrastructure presents a key role in social and economic development of all countries and applying new methods for improving their design and operation should be desired
It is believed that the use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in infrastructure is several years behind from its use for buildings, but evidence show that recently the use of BIM in civil infrastructure is steadily rising (AlMashta, Alkass, 2010)
The Czech government is trying to follow the lead of other European countries and it is developing BIM strategies, which are prepared on the base of Government Resolution No 958, on the importance of the BIM in the Czech Republic (IEG BIM, 2017)
Summary
Transportation infrastructure presents a key role in social and economic development of all countries and applying new methods for improving their design and operation should be desired. While the implementation of building information modelling (BIM) has become a central topic to the improvement of the AECOO (Architecture, Engineering, Construction, Owner and Operator) industry around the world, the usage of BIM broaden and is nowadays applied to the civil infrastructure. An increasing number of European governments and public sector agencies are setting up programmes to promote wider use of BIM at national and regional levels. There is a significant growth in adoption of BIM for infrastructure since 2012 in Europe, and the rate of BIM implementation for infrastructure projects is steadily increasing (Gökçe et al, 2006). The Czech government is trying to follow the lead of other European countries and it is developing BIM strategies, which are prepared on the base of Government Resolution No 958, on the importance of the BIM in the Czech Republic (IEG BIM, 2017)
