Review of Research and Application of BIM-GIS Integration in the Civil Engineering Industry
Publication: ICCREM 2023
ABSTRACT
With the rapid development of smart construction, BIM and GIS have become important tools for the informatization and intelligence of civil engineering. BIM provides information on the entire life cycle of buildings, while GIS provides geographic environmental information around buildings. Combining BIM and GIS can achieve comprehensive upgrades. Although certain achievements have been made in the application research of BIM and GIS, the technology and integration application of BIM+ GIS is still in the exploratory stage. This paper summarizes the current research and application status of BIM+ GIS, analyzes and discusses the technical compatibility of BIM and GIS, and introduces the application of BIM+ GIS technology in engineering construction, transportation, energy management, and smart cities. The challenges and bottlenecks in this field are also summarized, and the future development direction of BIM+ GIS technology is discussed. This paper provides a reference for the deepening research on the integration of the two technologies.
