Abstract

High Speed 2: GIS, BIM and Mobile - closely intgrated
Track: Transportation
Authors: Kendall James

Centralised integrated information management solutions with GIS as a central hub on HS2 are critical to the access and consumption of spatial, design, document and programme information. Mobile and web-based solutions provide the platform for access to spatial and design information in multiple dimensions.

This demonstration will outline HS2 BIM and the role GIS plays in bringing the information to the team's finger tips. The web-based solutions which are extended to mobile solutions on iOS will be demonstrated.

3D visualisation is crucial in programmes of this size. This demonstration will show how the 3D design information are made accessible to end users through iOS devices with elements of augmented reality provided to enable that message.

The presentation will also outline the business benefit achieved in deploying these solutions while highlighting the importance of a spatial vision that incorporates BIM and mobile.
