Rail: Automated Infrastructure Design - R:AID

科斯坦和布赖登伍德长期创新的合作伙伴关系正在通过开发一套集成的工具来自动设计未来的基础设施，从而颠覆传统的设计/工程服务市场。我们的愿景是**以数据为中心的基础设施设计过程**，将以安全和透明的方式减少铁路设计的时间和成本。我们将支持Network Rail的整个系统建模团队开发和演示一种新的Rail：自动化基础设施设计(R：AID)工具包。该项目与系统运营商的目标一致，它们是：*规划未来的战略性基础设施投资*在国家铁路网上分配运力目前规划投资和分配运力的机制与现实世界环境是隔绝的。独立于规划模型、容量要求和选项的铁路系统设计流程。我们将演示如何：*我们建立在现有的生成式设计技术基础上*可以开发与铁路相关的解决方案*在6个月内提供演示我们的项目受益于英国高速公路的类似工作，并寻求每次都从基本原则中消除设计需要。我们将采用预定的工程标准、方法和程序，并对其进行调整，以创建一个规则驱动的多学科流程，用于快速设计和设计铁路。该流程将使用基于公式、逻辑和铁路工程专家输入的创成式设计方法，寻求创建符合铁路和ORR规则和规则的设计，但大幅减少设计所需的时间，通过准确的设计提高铁路建设和运营的确定性。结果是一个完全集成的数字设计模型，在整个资产生命周期内提供显著的生产效率，并完全支持项目业务案例和目标。数字设计解决方案将彻底提高生产力，降低危害，实现可预测的按时交付，降低成本，以更少的缺陷提供所需的质量。“

"Costain and BrydenWood's longstanding and innovative partnership is leading disruption of the traditional design/engineering services marketplace through the development of an integrated suite of tools to automatically design the infrastructure of the future.Our vision is for a **'data-centric infrastructure design process'** that will reduce the time and cost of railway design in a safe and transparent way.We will support Network Rail's Whole Systems Modelling team in the development and demonstration of a new Rail: Automated Infrastructure Design (R:AID) toolkit.The project aligns with the objectives of the Systems Operator, which are:* planning future strategic infrastructure investment* allocating capacity on the national rail networkThe current mechanism for planning investment and allocating capacity is isolated from the real-world environment. The processes for designing rail systems isolated from the planning model, its capacity requirements and options.We will demonstrate how:* We have built on existing generative design technologies* Can develop a solution relevant to rail* Deliver a demonstrator within 6 monthsOur project benefits from similar work for Highways England and seeks to remove the need for designing from first principles each time. We will take predetermined engineering standards, methods and procedures and adapt them to create a rules-driven multi-disciplinary process for rapidly designing and engineering a railway.This process, using a generative design approach based on formulae, logic and the input from rail engineering specialists, will seek to create a design that complies to the rules and regulations of the railway and the ORR, but dramatically reducing the time it takes to design, with accurate design leading to improved certainty of constructing and operating a railway.The result is a fully integrated digital design model that provides significant production efficiencies across the asset lifecycle and fully supports a projects business case and objectives. Digital design solutions will revolutionise productivity, lower exposure to harm, achieve predictable delivery on time, to lower cost, providing the desired quality with fewer defects."
