Road Rehabilitation Using Mobile Mapping System and Building Information Model

Road rehabilitation is considered as one of the most important infrastructure projects worldwide. Road rehabilitation requires the Building Information Model (BIM) at different project phases. The most important step in road rehabilitation is building the existing 3D model to be used in the project phases. BIM will help to follow the advancement of the reconstruction field operations, and control the quality and performance of the project based on a predefined time schedule and an approved design. The objective of this research is to obtain optimal quality of a 3D model using state of the art technologies. Mobile Mapping System (MMS) and the number of control points will be used to achieve an accurate 3D model. The 3D model will be used as initial data in the BIM. The Scan to BIM process using laser scanning technology for building the road 3D model and connecting it to the BIM, is becoming an essential part of most engineering projects.
