“…This paper aims to highlight the significance and benefits of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) within the domain of Building Information Modeling (BIM). The paramount concern is in guaranteeing the safety and security of Building Information Models (BIMs), with particular emphasis on their use in the preservation of heritage structures and protection of sensitive institutions (Tobiáš, 2015). The suggested framework for integrating BIM and GIS data in facility management for smart city services, known as the BIM/GIS-based Data Integration Framework (DI), demonstrated advantages such as reusability and flexibility.…”

The purpose of this literature review is to conduct a critical examination of the integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). This analysis aims to explore the potential synergies that exist between two transformational technologies within the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) sector. Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), both powerful tools for handling intricate architectural information and geographic data, are being increasingly acknowledged for their synergistic ability to transform project processes. The present paper provides an analysis of the fundamental concepts behind Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), emphasizing their unique functions and setting the stage for a comprehensive examination of integration approaches.The research examines the many aspects of interoperability standards, data exchange protocols, and the changing landscape of collaborative frameworks. It highlights the issues that arise due to discrepancies in data formats and organizational obstacles, which impede the smooth integration of systems. The effectiveness of integrating Building Information Modeling (BIM) with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in many fields such as urban planning, infrastructure management, coastal management and facility maintenance is shown by real-life case studies. These practical examples showcase the practicality and usefulness of BIM-GIS integration in several domains.

“…Existing efforts of integration focus on unidirectional compatibility, with workflow transferred from BIM into GIS. Within this, interoperability between the IFC format and CityGML (format for storage and exchange of 3D city information) is a common theme [31]. Following this, [24] developed a systematic framework for the integration of IFC file format and ESRI Shapefile, allowing a BIM to be viewed in both 2D and 3D ArcGIS map projections; the framework covers initial point cloud stitching all the way through to analysis of 3D structural and temporal data.…”

Unmanned aerial systems (UAS) provide two main functions with regards to bridge inspections: (1) high-quality digital imaging to detect element defects; (2) spatial point cloud data for the reconstruction of 3D asset models. With UAS being a relatively new inspection method, there is little in the way of existing framework for storing, processing and managing the resulting inspection data. This study has proposed a novel methodology for a digital information model covering data acquisition through to a 3D GIS visualisation environment, also capable of integrating within a bridge management system (BMS). Previous efforts focusing on visualisation functionality have focused on BIM and GIS as separate entities, which has a number of problems associated with it. This methodology has a core focus on the integration of BIM and GIS, providing an effective and efficient information model, which provides vital visual context to inspectors and users of the BMS. Three-dimensional GIS visualisation allows the user to navigate through a fully interactive environment, where element level inspection information can be obtained through point-and-click operations on the 3D structural model. Two visualisation environments were created: a web-based GIS application and a desktop solution. Both environments develop a fully interactive, user-friendly model which have fulfilled the aims of coordinating and streamlining the BMS process.

“…Some commercial products, such as Data Interoperability Extension for ArcGIS (DIA) [37] and the aforementioned FME [38], also provide the possibility to convert IFC datasets to GIS datasets. However, these products are not sufficiently reliable for geometry conversion and can crash during operation [15].…”

The integration of building information modeling (BIM) and geographic information system (GIS) is attracting more attention than ever due to its potential benefits for both the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) domain and the geospatial industry. The main challenge in BIM and GIS integrated application comes from the fundamental data conversion, especially for the geometric information. BIM and GIS use different modeling paradigms to represent objects. The BIM dataset takes, for example, Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) that use solid models, such as boundary representation (B-Rep), swept solid, constructive solid geometry (CSG), and clipping, while the GIS dataset mainly uses surface models or B-Rep. The fundamental data conversion between BIM and GIS is the foundation of BIM and GIS integrated application. However, the efficiency of data conversion has been greatly impaired by the human intervention needed, especially for the conversion of the clipping geometry. The goal of this study is to automate the conversion of IFC clipping representation into the shapefile format. A process-level approach was developed with an algorithm for instantiating unbounded half spaces using B-Rep. Four IFC models were used to validate the proposed method. The results show that (1) the proposed approach can successfully automate the conversion of IFC clipping representation into the shapefile format; and (2) increasing boundary size has no effect on the file size of unbounded half spaces, but slightly increases the producing time of half spaces and processing time of building components. The efficiency of this study can be further improved by using an open-source package, instead of using the low-efficiency packages provided by ArcGIS.
