本論文は、インフラプロジェクトにおけるBIM導入に関するPRISMA主導のレビューを提供し、プロジェクトライフサイクル全体における利点を詳述し、74の障害を特定し、それらを7つの障壁にクラスター化しています。

ABSTRACT

The current study presents a comprehensive review of the benefits and barriers associated with the adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in infrastructure projects, focusing on the period from 2013 to 2023. The research explores the manifold advantages offered by BIM, spanning the entire project life cycle, including planning, design, construction, maintenance, and sustainability. Notably, BIM enhances collaboration, facilitates real-time data-driven decision-making, and leads to substantial cost and time savings. In parallel, a systematic literature review was conducted to identify and categorize the barriers hindering BIM adoption within the infrastructure industry. Eleven studies were selected for in-depth analysis, revealing a total of 74 obstacles. Through synthetic analysis and thematic clustering, seven primary impediments to BIM adoption were identified, encompassing challenges related to education/training, resistance to change, business value clarity, perceived cost, lack of standards and guidelines, lack of mandates, and lack of initiatives. This review explores the benefits and barriers in the industry that are facing BIM adoption in infrastructure projects, giving an important perspective toward improving effective BIM adoption strategies, policies, and standards. Future directions for research and industry development are outlined, including efforts to enhance education and training, promote standardization, advocate for policy and mandates, and integrate BIM with emerging technologies.

研究の動機と目的

• Identify the benefits of BIM across the infrastructure project life cycle (planning, design, construction, maintenance, sustainability).
• Identify and classify barriers hindering BIM adoption in infrastructure projects.
• Synthesize barriers into a concise framework to inform policy, standards, and practice.
• Provide directions for education, standardization, mandates, and integration with emerging technologies.

提案手法

• Stage One uses VOSviewer to visualize relationships among BIM-benefits keywords from 2013–2023 literature.
• Stage Two applies PRISMA for a systematic review to identify BIM adoption barriers in infrastructure projects.
• Databases searched: Web of Science and Science Direct; keywords limited to title/abstract; 2015–2023 window for inclusion.
• Qualitative content analysis and inductive coding to derive seven primary barrier themes from 74 obstacles.
• Validation with a PRISMA flow chart describing article selection and exclusions.

実験結果

リサーチクエスチョン

• RQ1 What are the reported benefits of BIM for infrastructure projects across the lifecycle?
• RQ2 What barriers impede BIM adoption in infrastructure projects, and how can they be categorized and addressed?

主な発見

• BIM enhances collaboration, real-time data-driven decisions, and can reduce cost and time across planning, design, construction, and maintenance.
• A total of 74 obstacles to BIM adoption were identified and inductively clustered into seven barriers.
• The seven barrier themes are: education/training, resistance to change, unclear business value, perceived cost, lack of standards/guidelines, lack of mandates, and lack of initiatives.
• Case study evidence and literature show BIM can lower change orders, rework, and construction durations in infrastructure projects.
• The study discusses integration of BIM with Digital Twin, IoT, and emerging technologies as part of Construction 4.0 and outlines future research directions.
