Usability engineering of an information model simulating emergency scenarios at construction facilities

Abstract

The transition to the construction facilities design, that involves the application of information models, strengthens the requirements for the comfortable perception of such models by their users and consumers. The presented research work has a description of an information model that accompanies a construction facility at each stage of its lifecycle. The article addresses the usability notion in the context of the emergency scenarios’ information modelling at construction facilities. The co-authors offer an infographic model of a building information model lifecycle. The information model lifecycle analysis has given an opportunity to identify the production and consumption stages of an information model. Positions of the stakeholders, involved in the usability engineering of an information model, have been determined.
