Abstract
UK Government’s Building Information Modelling (BIM) mandate has encouraged the 8 utilisation of BIM within the Transportation Sector (TS) with research demonstrating positive effects 9 of BIM. However, BIM processes are incipient to TS project implementation across the UK. This 10 paper is done to understand the current BIM usage within the UK’s TS and how BIM practises and 11 workflows contribute towards the Government’s NCZ approach. Research questions derived from 12 Population, Intervention, Comparison and Outcome (PICO) system, and inclusion and exclusion 13 criteria to screen irrelevant information for systematic literature review with 18 pieces of literature, 14 and identified six key drivers: Carbon reduction and BIM, BIM in Transportation Design, BIM up-15 take and usage in Transportation, BIM in Transportation Construction and Digital Twins and BIM. 16 It was identified that, with the integration of Carbon Calculator Tool into Civil 3D, structural and 17 material data can be obtained and areas of Embodied Carbon hotspots can be identified to contribute 18 to reduce overall carbon across a project, which requires further collaboration between software 19 providers and industry leaders for further streamlining the process. Limitation of this research is 20 the requirement of a wider study of differing disciplines within the TS, more qualitative research 21 and a lack of information regarding other Carbon Calculator Tools and how compatible they are 22 with Civil 3D.
