Based on the characteristics of BIM and urban rail transit engineering construction, overall management mode of BIM implementation in urban rail transit engineering is proposed. The development history, characteristics and work content of overall management mode based on BIM are discussed, which includes target setting, working principles, organization and management, modeling and delivery standard, BIM platform developing for data integration and management, BIM application management and digital delivery. It is proved that the mode led by the owner and overall management based on BIM adapts to the current urban rail transit BIM implementation and management, and lays a foundation for establishment of digital urban rail transit ecological chain system.
