Adaptive digital technological regulations development for engineering and intellectual support for the railway track facilities construction

Abstract

The article considers the developing possibilities of adaptive digital technological regulation for the railway track facility construction. Railway construction as a complex dynamic system requires certain resources for its maintenance. At the same time, it is characterized by the use of new, more advanced design solutions, materials, and technologies, the performers' specialization development, and a large number of participants in the technological process associated with this. Under these conditions, effective control over the job practices performed during the railway track facilities construction is of decisive importance. This can be achieved by improving the existing engineering system and technical support for railway construction through the subsystem introduction for engineering and intellectual support of technological processes for the railway facilities construction. One of the tasks of engineering and intellectual support of technological processes is the effective use of automated systems, including those with artificial intelligence elements. Their creation and implementation are focused on achieving a single endresult: a finished railway track facility of the appropriate functional purpose within the established time frame, planned cost and labor costs and also meeting modern safety requirements throughout the entire operation period. As part of the methodology formation for engineering and intellectual support of railway construction technological processes, the structure of an adaptive digital technological regulation was developed - a digital regulatory document that defines the norms and rules for conducting the technological process of building a railway facility. A distinctive feature of the adaptive digital technological regulations is the possibility of its adjustment in an automated mode. The purpose of the adjustment is to adapt the technological process to the changing working conditions and the resource equipment of construction (contractor) organizations. At the same time, the information contained in the regulations can be transferred to 4D design and construction project management systems. Based on the theoretical study results, the article presents practical aspects of the automated development of adaptive digital technological regulations on the example of the flooded railway roadbed construction. The results presented in the article were obtained in the dissertation course research carried out by the author.
