Abstract

Highway agencies face challenges managing dispersed asset data across maintenance processes and information systems, hindering efficient retrieval of dynamic road information for timely interventions. A Digital Twin (DT)-based Information Management Framework (IMF) offers a promising solution based on a Foundation Data Model, Reference Data Libraries, and Integration Architecture. However, it is currently unclear how DT models of highway infrastructure systems based on a connected data ecosystem can be used in maintenance and how they benefit stakeholders. This paper describes results from a survey exploring DTs' potential in highway maintenance, starting with interviews with 20 experts to understand current processes, followed by a questionnaire survey to identify phases, features, applications, and use cases perceived as important by practitioners for road DTs. 183 responses reveal that DTs are widely deemed useful for asset deterioration prediction, strategy-making for routine maintenance planning, and scenario design for road investigation and repair in project-level maintenance.

探讨数字孪生在公路资产养护信息管理中的价值
公路管理机构面临着跨维护流程和信息系统管理分散资产数据的挑战,这阻碍了动态道路信息的有效检索,从而无法及时干预。基于数字孪生(DT)的信息管理框架(IMF)提供了一个基于基础数据模型、参考数据库和集成体系结构的有前途的解决方案。然而,目前尚不清楚基于互联数据生态系统的公路基础设施系统的DT模型如何用于维护,以及它们如何使利益相关者受益。本文描述了一项调查的结果,该调查探索了公路维修中直接诊断技术的潜力,首先与20位专家进行了访谈,以了解当前的流程,然后进行了问卷调查,以确定道路直接诊断从业者认为重要的阶段、特征、应用和用例。183份回应显示,人们普遍认为,在资产恶化预测、日常维护计划的策略制定以及项目级维护中道路调查和维修的场景设计方面,dt是有用的。
