Ultrawideband Sensor Data Integration to BIM Environment Using Revit API

Abstract: This study establishes a framework for integrating Ultra-wideband (UWB) sensor data into Building Information Modelling (BIM) systems using Autodesk Revit API (Application Programme Interface) for real-time visualization and tracking of workers. The constructed system enables dynamic monitoring of worker positions in a BIM platform, by leveraging UWB technology and Revit’s extensibility to construct a digital twin environment for construction site evaluations. The research methodology encompasses sensor data acquisition, real-time visualization, and coordinate transformation for accurate tracking. The system was experimentally tested in a controlled environment. The gathered data incorporated into a BIM model demonstrates enhanced tracking accuracy.
