Bim-based Digital Twin development for university Campus management. Case study ETSICCP
Open accessAbstract
Innovation and digitalization are outstanding topics acquiring each day more importance for local governments, especially in Facility Management sector. Moreover, during the COVID-19 situation, new management needs emerged, especially in large public buildings. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is considered as one of the emerging technologies used to reach a total digitalization of the infrastructure. Nevertheless, BIM implementation carries important barriers with itself like, high software and hardware investments, initial BIM skills training or low data interoperability . The objective of this project is to overpass those implementation barriers. For this purpose, the paper shows the creation of a BIM-based intelligent platform for infrastructure management that leads to the development of a Digital Twin (DT). To show the potential of the software developed, a real implementation in the Civil Engineering School at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid was carried out, obtaining significant results thanks to the actual feedback of infrastructure users and managers. The novelty of this project relies on the final results achieved, obtaining a complete DT for management functionalities like space reservation, live sensors data or assets management. All of it, linking BIM models with own software and hardware development using Internet of Things and cloud computing . A multidisciplinary work is compiled in this paper, providing the reader with the most relevant challenges detected in a real digitalization process.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
