Rapid-transit systems, commonly referred to as metros or subways, offer a cost-effective and sustainable solution to tackle modern-day problems of urban congestion. However, the planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance of rapid-transit networks pose monumental challenges to civic authorities. Building information modelling (BIM) offers numerous opportunities to leverage the benefits of three-dimensional modelling and four-dimensional simulations to plan and manage construction of these facilities alongside existing operations. Post-construction and commissioning, the BIM model can then be used to operate and maintain the facility more efficiently through integration with asset-monitoring systems. The use of BIM for transit infrastructure is in its early stages and is far from being standardised. This paper attempts to provide a preliminary overview that can form the basis for a more detailed review of BIM applications relevant to rapid-transit schemes during different phases of project de...

建筑信息模型在快速运输计划和交付中的应用

快速运输系统（通常称为地铁）提供了一种经济高效且可持续的解决方案，以解决当今城市拥堵的问题。然而，快速运输网络的规划，设计，建设，运营和维护给市政当局提出了巨大的挑战。建筑信息建模（BIM）提供了许多机会，可以利用三维建模和三维模拟的优势来计划和管理这些设施以及现有运营的建设。在施工和调试后，可以通过与资产监控系统集成，使用BIM模型更有效地操作和维护设施。在交通基础设施中使用BIM尚处于早期阶段，远未标准化。
