This week we finally finished our research project BIM4AMS. In this project we worked on a solution for a Building Information Modeling (BIM)-enabled Infrastructure Asset Management System (AMS) for road owners. The approach provides asset managers with a strategy for the dynamic use of Information Containers for Linked Document Delivery (ICDDs), considering the requirements of …
Last week, we had the opportunity to exchange ideas with numerous colleagues at the German Road and Transportation Congress in Dortmund. In the technical session with the topic of BIM, Prof. Rade Hajdin was able to give an insight into the BIM-related research activities in Switzerland with an exciting presentation on the question “How much …

Current infrastructure maintenance relies on manual inspections which are the basis for decision making in asset management. In most cases photos are taken to document damages or deterioration processes. It is clear that at remote places the arm length manual inspection is hardly possible. Furthermore, it is advantageous to have a comprehensive visual documentation of …
Our recent research work with the title “A methodology for probabilistic pavement condition forecast based on Bayesian filters” just got published in the latest issue of the Journal Structure and Infrastructure Engineering. Abstract: Decision making in pavement management relies on current road condition and the condition forecast. In this study, it is shown that both …

Estimating the future condition of road networks is a challenging task due to an enormous number of influencing factors such as traffic volume and climate. Based on our previous research project ProZEnt we continued to work on new approaches to forecast pavement conditions in dependence on the material properties of road sections. Within the project …
Gathering, analyzing and extracting crucial data from bridge inspections can be a challenging task, which is decisive for decision making in asset management. Infrastructure Management Consultants GmbH is investigating the utilization of state-of-the-art drone (UAS) technology for bridge inspections. In our pilot projects, we are implementing UAS in combination with artificial intelligence for element segmentation …
The international PIARC – World Road Association webinar “Measures to improve resilience of road networks”, organized by the Technical Committee 3.3 “Road Asset Management”, will take place virtually on April, 28. During the one-and-a-half-hour virtual event, evaluation of resilience of road networks, practical measures to increase resilience and recovery experience in cases of infrastructure failures due …
Prof. Rade Hajdin recently gave an interview for the magazine e-mosty & e-BrIM where he talked about the utilization of BIM in the bridge industry and his role in IABSE – International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering.
