Using building information modelling for planning a high-speed rail project in Norway

Lessons for Policy Makers in Non-High Speed Rail Countries: A Review

High speed intercity passenger rail is an inherently strong railway application. It operates over 250 km/hour. For perspective, high-speed represents the ultimate development of preexisting standard gauge infrastructure. Network of high-speed passenger rail lines aimed at reducing accident, reducing traffic congestion, air pollution cutting national dependence on foreign oil and improving rural...

High-Speed Rail IDEA Program FIBER OPTICAL SENSORS FOR HIGH-SPEED RAIL APPLICATIONS

Study on different solutions to reduce the dynamic impacts in transition zones for high-speed rail

One of the most important factors influencing the track maintenance is the transitions between parts of the track with different vertical stiffness. The dynamic...

Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Project Management: a Stakeholders Perspective

Construction projects are becoming much more complex and difficult to manage. As a response Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has been developing at a very fast pace. The major shift in ICT for the Architecture Engineering and Construction (AEC) sector is the spreading of Building Information Modeling (BIM) (Bryde, Broquetas, & Volm, 2013). BIM is a system and its main objective is...

OPTIMALIZATION PHASE USING GRAPH MODELLING FOR RELIABLE BUILDING COMPLEXES

During the planning phase of modern, complex, block-structured, large-area located, but still landscape-harmonized health-care buildings, the key is the optimal positioning of the blocks and functions, simultaneously ensuring the most-effective backup-paths for any transportation route failure in the buildings in order to speed up system operation, reduce maintenance costs and especially to imp...
