Concept for a digital twin of railway bridges on the example of the new Filstal bridges

Abstract The preservation of infrastructure is becoming increasingly important. current reactive maintenance management only initiates measures after damage has occurred. Short‐term can lead to unforeseen restrictions in availability and thus cause high social economic damage. High‐quality measurement technology, automated data analysis, structured collaborative work are just a few technological developments that form the cornerstones for future predictive strategy. digital twin, representation real object, combines these promising method sustainable infrastructure. Using example Filstal bridges, concept bridge twin introduced. data, information, inspection results as well structural safety verifications aggregates them continuously display condition supports bridges. For intuitive use, all information located presented way consumable by user.
