Objectives of Presentation

Show how CIM is the collection, organization

and managed accessibility to accurate data and

information related to a highway facility

Introduce basic principles of CIM

Briefly touch upon tools and technologies

Provide project examples where 3D, 4D, 5D has

worked in design and construction projects

CIM For Transportation

Civil Integrated Modeling = CIM

CIM benefits with 3D Data (Instead of 2D)

The transportation industry requires more 4D &

5D than most other industries using CIM

CIM needs computing investments

3D is for representing graphic civil objects in an

infrastructure, 4D for time and 5D for cost
