APPENDIX D

Mapping of Use Cases to Benefits

Table D-1 includes the mapping of each use case to one or more monetized benefits. This matrix is used in the ROI tool to attribute benefits based on the use cases selected by the agency. The matrix is located in the Excel workbook in the “Use Case Matrix” sheet. The codes used for the benefits and use cases can be found in Table D-2 and Table D-3, respectively, following the use case mapping table.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) allows transportation infrastructure project teams to improve the overall quality of the planning and design of projects as well as more efficiently construct the project through improved planning, cost control, and automation, such as machine-guided equipment.

The TRB Cooperative Research Program's CRP Special Release 4: Lifecycle BIM for Infrastructure: A Business Case for Project Delivery and Asset Management focuses on the development of resources to support the adoption of BIM by highway agencies.

Supplemental to the report are an assessment matrix for Appendix E: BIM Maturity Matrix for Transportation Agencies, BIM multi-media materials, and video interviews.
