TE05 Enabler 5
Digital Twins integrated with BIM to improve reliability, safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of asset management
Project: FP3 - IAM4RAIL (01/12/2022 - 30/11/2026)
Work Packages
Currently available work packages:
WP09 Track infrastructure
WP9 develops asset management solutions for the track structure, including plain track, switches, and crossings (S&C), catenary, and other elements of the track structure. Particularly, WP9 develops innovative wayside, onboard and crowd-based sensing solutions for the timely extraction of track infrastructure data. The data is converted into information/ knowledge using AI- and physics-based methodologies for anomaly detection and failure prediction. Then, the solutions are embedded into digital tools to support decision-making from existing and improved asset management platforms for track structure to reduce costs and increase safety, while considering constraints given by nowadays requirements on sustainability, resilience, trustworthy digitalization, and ethics.
WP12 Vision, Requirements and Data Collection for Civil Engineering Asset Management
This work package (in coordination with WP13) aims to enhance the whole life-cycle management of civils, addressing various assets and systems including railway civil structures such as tunnels and bridges; civil works including earthworks and their environment; vegetation, landslides, floods, and other external factors from various sources influencing railway infrastructures.
WP13 Implementation and Demonstration of Intelligent Maintenance Tools for Civil Engineering Asset Management
WP13 is dedicated to the development and implementation of the technological demonstrator based on the outcome of the activities performed in WP12. The overall ambition of the WP is to create a working environment at different planning levels (strategic, tactical, and operational) where information coming from various sources of data are jointly exploited to provide maintenance decision-support.
WP15 Use of DT Technologies for assets management: implementation and demonstration
In coordination with WP14, the objective of this work package is to develop methods to exploit Digital Twin (DT) potential to improve reliability, safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of key asset management tasks, focusing on the development of the Integrated Demonstrator, targeted at TRL7, and validation of the demonstrator.
