Digital support for design and construction

Building information modelling (BIM) allows a digital twin of the infrastructure to be created. This digital representation of the physical infrastructure facilitates both analyses and simulations of data and processes. Sensor data and data recording systems allow predictive maintenance to prevent failures and save costs through optimised maintenance intervals. With the right asset management solutions, assets, real estate and installations are designed and managed along the rail line. In this way, DB resources can be organised efficiently in the long term. Geographical information systems (GIS) support the design process.
