4. Objectives of Presentation
Show how CIM is the collection, organization and managed accessibility to accurate data and information related to a highway facility
Introduce basic principles of CIM
Briefly touch upon tools and technologies
Provide project examples where 3D, 4D, 5D has worked in design and construction projects

5. CIM For Transportation
Civil Integrated Modeling = CIM
CIM benefits with 3D Data (Instead of 2D)
The transportation industry requires more 4D & 5D than most other industries using CIM
CIM needs computing investments
3D is for representing graphic civil objects in an infrastructure, 4D for time and 5D for cost

6. Technology Adoption Life-cycle
Innovators (Techies)
Early Adopters (Visionaries)
Early Majority (Pragmatists)
Late Majority (Conservatives)
Laggards (Skeptics)
The Chasm
Adapted From: Geoffery Moore (1991)
