Research used in a transport-sector assessment
A 2023 Massachusetts Department of Transportation report repeatedly draws on the BIM review co-authored by Amir and colleagues. The report discusses the study in relation to interoperability, implementation, facility-management information and the benefits and risks of BIM.
From the literature to implementation recommendations
Prepared by Kevin Brooks, Simos Gerasimidis and Scott Civjan at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, the report develops recommendations for BIM implementation at the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority. The full report is preserved in the US National Transportation Library’s ROSA P repository.
