IFCInfra4OM: An Ontology to Integrate Operation and Maintenance Information in Highway Information Modelling

Building information modelling (BIM) is increasingly appropriate for infrastructure projects, and in particular transport infrastructure. It a digital solution that integrates the practices of construction industry facility management during whole life cycle. This integration possible through single tool, which 3D model. Nevertheless, BIM standards, such as foundation classes, are still pipeline management. These standards do not fully meet requirements operation maintenance paper shows how could be implemented to address issues related phase For this purpose, new ontological approach, called Industry Foundation Classes Operation Maintenance Infrastructures (IFCInfra4OM), detailed. ontology aims standardise use building road infrastructures. To highlight interest proposed model section on A7 Agadir–Marrakech Highway Morocco produced according IFCInfra4OM. The methodology presented. results obtained, including IFCInfra4OM data model, submitted. In last section, an overview IFC extension approach
