A Framework of Realtime Infrastructure Disaster Management System based on the Integration of the Building Information Model and the Sensor Information Model

The research is aiming to propose a framework of real-time infrastructure disaster management system by combining the building information model (BIM) and the sensor information model. Open BIM such as IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) has been widely adapted as a data exchange standard in AEC/FM domains and its application to the broader purpose has been explored as in facility management. The final goal is to establish an integration system of spatial information of the infrastructure disaster management system and real-time data of the monitoring systems of infrastructures. To reach the goal, a computing platform that interoperates from interfaces of tiny end nodal sensors to varied purposeful visualizers is necessary. Theoretical aspects in BIM and its relevant ICT are thus discussed first. And then the real-time Infrastructure Disaster Management System is suggested and the detailed explanation on the components of the system, such as extended BIM model, database management, sensors, operation process, and visualization method, is followed. To validate the system, a scenario based approach using a building fire accident is substantiated. The result of this research can contribute to the field of disaster research area by establishing the framework that can provide a novel method of integration of spatial information and real sensor data in order to understand holistic system configuration.
