openBIM for FHWA Digital Delivery National Deployment Overview
Speaker: James Gray (Federal Highway Administration - FHWA)
The FHWA (Federal Highway Administration) presentation on Advanced Digital Construction Management Systems (ADCMS) focuses on how these systems enhance project delivery through digital tools. ADCMS improves project planning, execution, and monitoring, aligning with Building Information Modeling (BIM) by using data-rich, 3D modeling and simulation techniques for infrastructure projects. The presentation emphasizes ADCMS's role in enhancing project coordination, reducing errors, and improving decision-making processes. It also explores how ADCMS connects with buildingSMART IFC 4.3 standards, promoting interoperability, data exchange, and collaborative practices within the AEC (architecture, engineering, and construction) industry to support more efficient and sustainable infrastructure development.
