Information modelling of road facilities

This work addressed the problems of using information modelling in road facilities. One of the main scientific and technical tasks of implementing information modelling in the field of design and construc-tion of highways and engineering structures lies in its use throughout the entire life cycle of a road facility. It was revealed that such models should include the geometric characteristics of road facilities, local conditions in which they are located and basic data on the occurring processes. The applicability of information models at different stages of construction, reconstruction and reconditioning of roads and engineering structures were considered in order to ensure continuous monitoring of all technical programmes and data amendment. In order to implement the information modelling to design manage-ment, it is necessary to establish interaction between all the design participants by means of a special knowledge library represented by a catalog of standard solutions that can be used in subsequent pro-jects at variable component parameters. Software products used for the design of roads using infor-mation modelling were given. A 3D model of a motorway bridge containing the data on each element was presented, which allowed a spatial model of an engineering structure to be built. It was concluded that the use of information modelling of an object greatly facilitates the work of designers and con-struction workers, allowing for many advantages over previous means of developing road construction projects. This approach offers a combination and coordination of parts of the designed road object developed by different specialists and organisations.
