Artificial intelligence support for tunnel design in urban areas

Abstract

The article describes a comprehensive integrated project delivery approach based on digital transformation of the classic BIM (Building Information Model/Modelling) workflow and integration of project stakeholders by means of a single cloud-based IT platform. The topic falls into BIM technology and associated processes to support design, construction and operation of underground traffic connections based on maximal utilization of underground space in urban areas. The step forward is made by putting Information in central place of BIM. By the approach the requirements are fulfilled for state-of-the-art analytic methodologies - artificial intelligence utilization in civil engineering as we see in other engineering branches. The most important are state of the art optimization and decision support services; Better communication between the client, experts and public; Interdisciplinary collaboration between disciplines by multi-criterial decision support process.
