Research and development of 4D construction management system for Zhenru Shanghai West Railway Station

In order to enhance Zhenru Shanghai West Railway Station project management level and efficiency, Tongji University, cooperation with the inventors, developed 4D construction management system for Shanghai West Railway Station by establishing the Shanghai West Railway Station 4D information model and its information integration mechanism. The system implemented the construction visual simulation and 4D dynamic managements of construction progress, labors, materials, machinery by the mutual links of engineering model, construction schedule and resources. The experimental results show that 4D technology is supported to raise information management and improve the efficiency of the Zhenru Shanghai West Railway Station project. The research presents a new information management method for railway station construction, and has a high practical value and broad prospects.
