Abstract

Pavement management systems require comprehensive data, including design and existing conditions. These data may be utilised to forecast conditions and determine the optimal timing for implementing maintenance measures to reduce expenses. On the other hand, Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology can be used for organising, managing, and exploiting data to assist decision-makers and ease the extensive pavement management process. It is anticipated that leveraging the capabilities of BIM in the pavement management system will lead to a more productive and streamlined management system. This paper reviews the use of BIM for pavement management and its integration with existing pavement management systems. The scope of the review includes both academic and non-academic literature. Upon review, BIM plays a role in all six steps of pavement management systems. These steps include defining the road network, collecting condition data, predicting pavement conditions, selecting appropriate treatments, reporting results, and choosing the optimal pavement management tools. Several highway agencies that manage road assets may be able to reach maturity level 2. Level 2 maturity in pavement management systems focuses on improving collaborative working methods that lead to automated procedures. Three areas may be the focus of future study. First and foremost is integrating BIM with current survey tools and developing analysis based on regulations for each asset management plan. The second is integrating the analytical process from assessing pavement conditions to choosing maintenance options by considering uncertainty analysis and social factors. The final part is to continue proposing information sharing and an automated pavement management system practice.
