On September 24, 2023, the inaugural meeting of the Specialized Committee on Digital Highway Design and BIM Technology Application of the China Highway Survey and Design Association, along with a digital academic exchange conference, was held at the Xijiao Hotel in Beijing. Zhou Rongfeng, Deputy Director of the Highway Bureau of the Ministry of Transport, and Wang Hengbin, Director of the Engineering Management Division, attended the meeting. More than 120 representatives from 75 organizations across the country participated in the event. Wang Ruifu, Deputy General Manager of Kan She Co., Ltd., led the delegation to the meeting.

The meeting reviewed and approved the Regulations on the Work of the Specialized Committees. Following a vote, the meeting elected the first-term directors, chairperson, vice-chairpersons, and secretary-general of the Specialized Committees. Liu Xiaodong, General Manager of China Communications Construction Highway Planning & Design Institute Co., Ltd., was elected as the Chairperson of the Specialized Committee on Digital Design and BIM Technology Application. Wang Ruifu, Deputy General Manager of Kan She Shares, Yuan Zhuoya, Deputy General Manager of China Communications Construction First Public Works Institute, and eight other individuals were elected as Vice-Chairpersons.

Zhou Rongfeng, representing the Highway Bureau of the Ministry of Transport, extended warm congratulations on the convening of the conference and put forward three key requirements for the special committee and the industry’s development: First, we must firmly seize the historic opportunity presented by the digital transformation of highways, promote digitalization, and foster the digital economy. Second, we must resolutely shoulder the historical mission of highway digital transformation, prioritize key areas, master core technologies, produce replicable technological achievements, and carry out pilot projects in major key initiatives. Third, we emphasized that design institutions should play a leading role in the digital transformation and upgrading process. We also hope that the special committee will serve as a bridge and link, jointly building shared platforms, facilitating technical exchanges, and promoting the development of digital design and BIM technology.

In the afternoon of the 24th, the conference held academic exchange activities centered around topics such as “digital transformation of highways, BIM-based forward design, collaborative design, digital infrastructure, and domestically developed industrial software.”
