73 Project Survey Questionnaire A P P E N D I X B 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 2D Plan sets in the field during construc on 3D/nD 3D Visualiza on during construc on (e.g., isometric drawings, physical models, etc.) 3D CADD 4D Modeling Analysis (3D + schedule) 5D/nD Modeling Analysis (model based quan ty takeoff/model based cost es ma ng) Work Packaging So ware/Advanced Scheduling Sensing3D/nD 3D Imaging (e.g., LiDAR, photogrammetry) Geographical Informa on Systems (GIS)
74 Global Posioning Systems (GPS) Intelligent Transportaon Systems (ITS) Field Sensors (e.g., RFID, ground penetrang radar, ultrasonics) Intelligent Compacon Automated Machine Guidance and Control (AMG) Ulity Engineering/Clash Detecon/Coordinaon Data Management Electronic archival and updang of plans Digital Asset Management Materials Management System (e.g., Spreadsheets and RFIDs) Mobile Digital Devices for onsite applicaons (tablets, smart phones, etc.) Data Connecvity Other than Cellular Towers Digital Signature Are there any additional projects within your agency, or the agency you work with, that you recommend we contact regarding their use of CIM?
