Abstract:

The construction of building information modeling (BIM} models for infrastructure is becoming increasingly prevalent, as it facilitates current asset management practices. Existing bridges are particularly challenging to model due to their complex geometry and missing information. Given the recent advancements in 3D surveying and artificial intelligence, new possibilities emerge for the generation of BIM models. This paper presents a novel, modular framework for an automated construction of as-is bridge BIM models from point clouds of existing bridges. Bridge element datasets were provided to train neural network. Trained neural network can identify bridge elements, which are further processed using geometric algorithms into surface and solid bridge elements. This result can be additionally enriched with information from existing databases. The final BIM models are exported in the standardized, open Industry Foundation Classes (IFC} format.
