Railway Station Data Exchange Industry Survey

Do you work on Railway Station Projects? If so, buildingSMART International and the Railway Domain want to hear from you. We are running a short survey to address key challenges in railway station projects. Our goal is to standardize railway station information through cross-domain collaboration, tackling issues like information silos and asset management complexities.

This survey is designed to gather insights into the unique characteristics and data exchange needs of railway station projects. It also explores the application of Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) and the buildingSMART Data Dictionary (bSDD) in these projects.

Your input is invaluable to our research and will help shape the future of the railway industry.
