65 Agency Survey Questionnaire A P P E N D I X A The purpose of this survey is to document the methods and lessons learned from projects and agencies that implement digital project delivery and asset management methods in order to incorporate them as part of the NCHRP Project 10-96, âGuide for Civil Integrated Management (CIM) in the Departments of Transportation.â Definition of Civil Integrated Management (CIM) Although there are several terms that are used to describe the overall concept of digital project delivery and asset management such as CIM and building information modeling (BIM) for infrastructure, for the purpose of this survey we will define CIM as the term for transportation infrastructure projects that encompasses a wide range of practices, methods, and technologies that entail the collection, organization and management of information in a digital format. This broad definition is broken down into 4 main categories with examples that include, but are not limited to: 2D o 2D Plan sets in the field during construc on 3D/nD o 3D Visualiza on during construc on (e.g., isometric drawings, physical models, etc.) o 3D CADD o 4D Modeling Analysis (3D + schedule) o 5D/nD Modeling Analysis (model-based quan ty takeoff/model-based cost es ma ng) o Work Packaging SoÂware/Advanced Scheduling Sensing o 3D Imaging (e.g., LiDAR, photogrammetry) o Geographical Informa on Systems (GIS) o Global Posi oning Systems (GPS) o Intelligent Transporta on Systems (ITS)
66 o Field Sensors (e.g., RFID, ground penetra ng radar, ultrasonics) o Intelligent Compac on o Automated Machine Guidance and Control (AMG) o U lity Engineering/Clash Detec on/Coordina on Data Management o Electronic archival and upda ng of plans o Digital Asset Management o Materials Management System (e.g., Spreadsheets and RFIDs) o Mobile Digital Devices for onsite applica ons (tablets, smart phones, etc.) o Data Connec vity Other than Cellular Towers o Digital Signatures As you can see CIM encompasses a very wide range of technologies and applications; therefore, it is important that we obtain different user perspectives.
