Towards utilization of digital technology for railway infrastructure
The Norwegian railway is being modernized and emerging technologies allow for a digital transformation to improve efficiency and safety. New digital enablers include among others fast and high bandwidth communication systems, new sensors, and internet of things (IoT) solutions, use of artificial intelligence (AI) and digital twins to support e.g., automated train operations and smart asset management.
To better understand some of the needs and challenges with introducing the digital enabler digital twins in the railway domain in Norway, a pre-project was established by the Norwegian Railway Directorate and carried out by the research institute IFE and infrastructure owner Bane NOR. The intention was to identify gaps where research is needed.
Two use cases were studied to explore a holistic approach for utilizing digital twins where relevant end users were interviewed to identify needs and gaps:
(1) Maintenance and inspection of a bridge which relate to asset management, and
(2) Train operations which relate to planning and dispatching train movements
This paper discusses the findings considering “what is the acceptable degradation” for utilizing the technologies in operation.
