Building Information Modeling (BIM) has gained attention in the Architectural, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry, envisage the use of virtual n-dimensional (n-D) models to identify potential conflicts in design, construction or operational of any facility. A questionnaire has been designed to investigate perceptions regarding BIM advantages. Around 102 valid responses received from diversified stakeholders. Results showed very low BIM adoption with low level of 'Buzz'. BIM is a faster and more effective method for designing and construction management, it improves quality of the design and construction and reduces rework during construction; which came out as the top thee advantages according to the perception of AEC professionals of Pakistan.BIM has least impact on reduction of cost, time and human resources. This research is a bench mark study to understand adoption and advantageous of BIM in Pakistan Construction Industry.}, subject = {Building Information Modeling}, language = {en} } @article{MeunierWaltherWorsleyetal., author = {Meunier, David and Walther, Christoph and Worsley, Tom and Dahl, Alexander and Le Ma{\^i}tre, H{\´e}l{\`e}ne}, title = {Evolutions of the Reference Values Used in Transport CBA National Guidelines of 3 Countries and What they Reveal}, series = {Transportation Research Procedia 13}, journal = {Transportation Research Procedia 13}, doi = {10.1016/j.trpro.2016.05.011}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170406-31106}, pages = {100 -- 113}, abstract = {The paper presents, analyses and compares the evolution of reference values used in national guidelines issued for cost-benefit analysis of transport infrastructure projects, over the last fifty years, in France, UK and Germany.}, subject = {Verkehrsinfrastruktur}, language = {en} } @article{ChubukovKapitanovMoninaetal., author = {Chubukov, A. and Kapitanov, Valeriy and Monina, Olga and Silyanov, Valentin and Brannolte, Ulrich}, title = {Calculation of Traffic Capacity of Signaled Intersections}, series = {Transportation Research Procedia 20}, journal = {Transportation Research Procedia 20}, doi = {10.1016/j.trpro.2017.01.032}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170401-30964}, pages = {125 -- 131}, abstract = {In order to calculate traffic capacity of signaled intersections, it was suggested to apply an approach based on the concept of congestions.
