The application and integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM) into the realm of bridge monitoring represents a significant advancement in infrastructure management. This thesis explores the multifaceted implementation of BIM technologies for the purpose of monitoring and maintenance of bridges. It investigates how the integration of BIM technologies, specifically through the Dalux, can improve the way we monitor, manage, and maintain bridge infrastructure. The thesis delves into the intricacies of BIM-enabled bridge monitoring, including coverage of aspects of data integration, real-time analytics, and decision support. It uncovers the transformative impact of 3D modeling, data visualization, and information exchange protocols in the realm of bridge management. Moreover, the research investigates into practical aspects of sensor deployment, data integration, and visualization within the Dalux platform. It explores how Dalux’s user friendly interface empowers stakeholders to interact with 3D bridge models and it also addresses the collaborative potential of Dalux, emphasizing its role in bridging the gap between design, construction, and ongoing bridge management. In conclusion, this thesis serves as a comprehensive guide to harnessing the power of BIM in bridge monitoring. It can be used by other professionals involved in bridge maintenance and management, such as engineers and stakeholders, contributing with methodologies and advocating for the adoption of GIS (Geographic Information System) technologies in BIM integration.

Abstract

Aplikacija in integracija informacijskega modeliranja stavb (BIM) na področje nadzora mostov predstavlja pomemben napredek pri upravljanju infrastrukture. Diplomsko delo raziskuje večplastno implementacijo tehnologij BIM pri nadzoru in vzdrževanju mostu. Raziskuje, kako lahko integracija tehnologij BIM, zlasti prek programske opreme Dalux, izboljša način spremljanja, upravljanja in vzdrževanja mostne infrastrukture. Magistrska naloga se teoretično poglobi v zapletenost nadzora mostov z uporabo BIM, vključno z vidiki integracije podatkov, analitike v realnem času in podpore pri odločanju. Naloga osvetljuje transformativni učinek modelne predstavitve, vizualizacije podatkov in protokolov za izmenjavo informacij na področju upravljanja mostov. Poleg tega raziskava obravnava praktične vidike uvajanja senzorjev, integracije podatkov in vizualizacije v okolju Dalux. Okolje Dalux nudi uporabniku prijazen vmesnik, ki omogoča vsem deležnikom enostavno komunikacija in interakcijo s 3D modeli mostov in obravnava tudi sodelovalni potencial Daluxa, s poudarkom na njegovi vlogi pri premoščanju vrzeli med načrtovanjem, gradnjo in tekočim upravljanjem mostov. Pričujoča naloga služi kot vodnik za aplikacijo BIM pri nadzoru mostov. Zagotavlja praktične vpoglede, metodologije in priporočila za praktike, inženirje in zainteresirane strani na tem področju ter zagovarja široko sprejetje tega celostnega pristopa za zagotovitev dolgoživosti, varnosti in odpornosti kritične mostne infrastrukture.
