Abstract:

The management of infrastructure faces significant challenges in handling complex data. This paper presents two complementary data frameworks developed within the LifeMACS project, a project that aims to optimize maintenance decisions for concrete structures using Bayesian analytics. The first framework combines Building Information Modelling (BIM), Internet of Things (IoT) and a central database in an OpenBIM-based system, featuring a real-time building dashboard. The second framework employs a Linked Data approach, enabling complex semantic querying of the model. Both frameworks share a custom buildingSMART Data Dictionary. The system's effectiveness was demonstrated through a monitored bridge case study, showing improved data integration and real-time monitoring capabilities while maintaining compatibility with existing industry workflows.
