| Summary: | This study presents a real-time monitoring system integrating Building Information Modeling (BIM) and digital twin technology to enhance maintenance efficiency and safety in urban infrastructure. Unlike conventional periodic inspections, which miss dynamic changes and increase costs, this system uses a BIM model at LOD 400 for a solar-powered noise barrier tunnel integrated with the Wansan Tunnel in South Korea. It incorporates IoT sensor data, including vibration, tilt, light, air quality, and water detection, which are synchronized via the Autodesk Forge API, and WebSockets and visualized on a web-based dashboard. A demonstration from 22 October to 7 November 2024 confirmed that this system had stable data transmission, with light sensor rates exceeding 90%, and enabled the detection of anomalies such as irregular illuminance and structural shifts, thereby supporting informed maintenance decisions. While it is proven that BIM–digital twin integration improves NBT management, partial air quality data gaps highlight areas for refinement. This framework lays the groundwork for predictive maintenance through advanced analytics. |
