Importance of BIM for Traffic Engineering

What is BIM?, BIM in Traffic Engineering, Traffic Planning With BIM

In a world of construction and traffic engineering industries, BIM replaced CAD technologies and changed a lot in the industry business processes. The 3D software became indispensable and essential for the traffic engineering industry, and here are the reasons why. Firstly, we’re going to explain BIM to those who haven’t discovered it yet.



What is BIM?



Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a process consisted of many technologies and tools for management of digital portrayal of functional and physical characteristics of locations, places, areas, etc.

BIM is suitable for development in numerous levels of detail. It has the possibility of varying modeling efforts for the generation of building information models.



BIM in Traffic Engineering



Although BIM was primarily intended for architectural purposes, it has soon developed into much more. Nowadays, BIM is an infallible part of traffic engineering. It has the ability to provide different project outcomes and designs.

BIM provides assurance that is data-driven and ensures that projects are scheduled and delivered on time and within the budget. The information distribution is present and shared from the beginning of the project and is a crucial part of a project life cycle.

BIM solutions are designed to improve all disciplines included in traffic engineering such as utilities, drainage, road, rail, etc.

Such models make traffic projects easier to understand and minimize the risk and costs of traffic engineering.



Traffic Planning With BIM



Traffic planning requires a lot of decisions in the process. Production of solutions like entrances, exits, barriers, etc., takes numerous factors into account. In such cases, BIM uses an integrative approach for effective planning and evaluation.

BIM models are highly detailed and enable traffic projects to be enriched with high-quality models. Designers worldwide create detailed 3D models that are an important part of projects. Detailed models provide the opportunity for quality projects and greater awareness.

A picture is worth a thousand words, so we’ve put some examples for you to see how those models look once they’re finished are ready to be implemented in BIM designs. You can easily save your time by downloading these and integrating them into your projects.
