Once again, a collection of contributions on the theme of "Construction of the German railway" is presented under the title "Infrastructure Projects".
This time, published by DB Netz AG, the focus is not on individual projects, but rather on innovations. With Building Information Modeling (BIM), investments are better prepared and implemented.
First digital, then build for real & nbsp; - this also facilitates a dialogue with the public. With the DB citizens' dialogue, the railways have in recent years set standards for public participation in the planning of large projects. Using sensors and software, DB Netz AG analyzes the state of the installations in order to better plan preventive maintenance. This increases quality and availability on the network. And because the construction is not an end in itself, but a means to provide customers with an effective infrastructure, existing technologies are optimised. Furthermore, new standard solutions are set, for example for small bridges.
In addition, the book looks at innovative solutions for noise protection. This also helps to achieve more acceptance of rail transport.
Once again, DB Netz AG is publishing a book on railway construction with "Infrastructure Projects 2018".
How can we remove and rebuild rail infrastructure faster and better? - That's what the more than 30 papers in this book are about. Levers for faster and better implementation of projects are the acceleration and simplification of approval procedures as well as lean concepts in the construction industry, the introduction of the BIM method and partnership building. Using the example of the metropolitan areas of Berlin, Frankfurt and Munich, this book outlines which challenges population growth and disproportionately increasing economic performance mean for the transport infrastructure and how the transport networks can be made future-proof.
Another focus is investment in the preservation of existing infrastructure. The focus here is on the renewal or upgrading of 875 railway bridges as part of the current performance and financing agreement for the existing network.
The railway system is developing at high speed: "Deutschlandtakt" and digitalisation, sensor technology, hybrid drives and environmental friendliness are current topics. As a result of the interoperability of the railways in the European Community (EU), the railway system has changed profoundly - not without impact on the handbook "The Railway System".
The 3rd edition, a fundamental new version, provides up-to-date information with a holistic system view by 28 expert authors (including 12 new, experienced experts) from the fields of science, industry, market research and railway companies. Theory and practice go hand in hand.
Current topics, many of them completely new, cover:
EU directives and planning processes in the context of interoperability
Technology and digital strategy of DB Systemtechnik
Building Information Modelling (BIM)
Rail vehicles (including new developments)
Vehicle maintenance (ECM, basics and current examples)
Safety in railway operations (CSM, basics and current examples)
HGV systems worldwide (networks and trains)
Mountain and cable railways.
This new edition of the handbook "The Railway System" provides planners, developers, manufacturers and operators of railway systems as well as young engineers and all readers interested in railways with the latest information and a highly up-to-date outlook on the further development of this efficient, environmentally friendly and safe means of transport.
The included e-book provides users of a device with pdf-reader (PC, tablet, smartphone) the contents of the work also electronically and with search function.
For the seventh time, Deutsche Bahn gives an insight into investments to strengthen the railways.
More and more trains are travelling on the German rail network. To ensure that the infrastructure can keep up with the pace of growth on the railways, more is being invested than ever before. In the general renovation of the heavily used lines, which are being developed into a high-performance network. In the renewal and digitalisation of the entire network. In the expansion and new construction of the infrastructure for the German cycle and the European transports.
The book gives examples of what and where investments are being made. And it also reports on the restoration of the Eifel line, which was destroyed by the flood disaster in 2021. Finally, the interim balance sheet and the outlook for the "Future Railway Construction Initiative" show: Strong Rail is a joint project of the entire industry.
