2 1. CEDR-INTERLINK PROJECT Client = CEDR Conference of European Directors of Roads Objective: develop and apply way to define, link, manage infra asset info Focus on Roads Using W3C Linked Data approach Align with parallel standardisation initiatives, bsi, OGC, national Share best practice between NRAs September 2016 Autumn 2018 Deliverable: European Road Object Type Library (EUROTL) Tested in three test cases: Nordic countries, Germany, Netherlands TNO ROD RHDHV AEC3 Trimble Semmtech ii p&b4.0 2 The INTERLINK Approach - Using open standards for road asset information management

3 2. UNDERSTANDING THE INDUSTRY S NEEDS Preliminary Needs Statements Literature review Interviews The Typical As-Is Condition for the Business Processes involving Information Flow through the Life-Cycle of Road Infrastructure Assets (assuming higher BIM-maturity countries, outsourced maintenance operations with fixed-term contracts, design-and-build construction contracts, and all assets owned by the NRA) Network Expenditure review operations strategy prepared or revised feedback loop Monitor traffic Predominantly a document based-system with silo databases and inconsistent information requirements Manage traffic Contractor s using physical using Identify project systems communications contract database(s) systems opportunity Apply for operations Prepare bid Review existing asset Handover, closeout and final account Collate asmaintained information, resurvey Maintain price assets, and supplement assets if necessary Resulting network Intelligent transport funding or advise control centre with capital works Organisation information requirements records effectiveness decision making system and database Initial information Apply for routine requirements (based on or emergency department best practice) funding, or advise System capital works Determine most Predictive Final information strategy requirements (based on Pavement and bridge economic management systems management system Inspection and for asset type prepared or revised maintenance strategy updated prepared or revised Maintenance Prepare fixedterm contracts department best type?

4 INDUSTRY S NEEDS AND NEXT STEPS Needs statements, e.g. Publish information requirements Gather information through life cycle using best available structure & format Use open standards for GIS, BIM, systems engineering Work towards a digital twin Information management functionality based on use cases Recommendations to NRAs Linked data & standardisation active contribution, sharing, open Capital works and maintenance contracts validate, certify, scale Project and asset managers start small top five Learn from each other UK, DE, NL, NO, SE, FI Recommendations to Supply chain Software companies extension to LD/SW Engage with INTERLINK consortium 4 The INTERLINK Approach - Using open standards for road asset information management

5 WHY LINKED DATA / SEMANTIC WEB? (Open) Data: data common denominator in life-cycle and over supply-chain; data liberated from applications Linked: data from multiple sources connected Web: based on common, powerful, complete, distributed W3C technology Semantic: adding meaning to data to make it computer interpretable; automatic data verification and reasoning LD / SW is a powerful (the only?) technology that can help to meet the business needs 5 The INTERLINK Approach - Using open standards for road asset information management

6 CEDR-INTERLINK video on the European Road OTL 6 The INTERLINK Approach - Using open standards for road asset information management

7 EUROPEAN ROAD OTL (EUROTL) A network of harmonised and linked existing standards and OTLs for Road Asset Management Data The EUROTL is a set of recommendations for National Road Authorities Tested in three test cases: Nordic, Germany, Netherlands After the project, road authorities can: Gradually evolve from document- to data-driven, in a hybrid solution Make OTLs and their datasets uniform using Modelling & Linking Guide Reuse standards and OTLs from the EUROTL and connect to national OTLs 7 The INTERLINK Approach - Using open standards for road asset information management

8 EUROPEAN ROAD OTL CORE (SIMPLIFIED) Modelling & Linking Guide Meta Data Location Time Quantity & Unit Road Network Asset Lifecycle 8 The INTERLINK Approach - Using open standards for road asset information management

9 LINKING EUROPEAN ROAD OTL TO OTHER STANDARDS Links to existing international standards and OTLs Links to existing national standards and OTLs 9 The INTERLINK Approach - Using open standards for road asset information management

10 HOW NRAS CAN USE THE EUROTL 1. Do your own test case using INTELRINK results 2. Use M&LG to (re)model internal OTLs National 3. Re-use OTL(s) that are part of EUROTL 4. Share national OTLs for reuse by others 5. Define best practice European 6. Harmonise 7. Standardise: prescribe the use of a part of the EUROTL 10 The INTERLINK Approach - Using open standards for road asset information management

11 5. THREE TEST CASES: PROVE ADDED VALUE AND FEASIBILITY NRA test cases and data Nordic (Sweden & Norway) Trimble, Triona Germany AEC3, interactive instruments, planen bauen 4.0 The Netherlands RHDHV, TNO, Semmtech Test case-based definition of EUROTL requirements (bottom-up) Demonstrate that business needs can be met with INTERLINK Approach Use existing commercially-available software Help NRAs and industry to understand implementation 11 The INTERLINK Approach - Using open standards for road asset information management

12 GERMAN CASE BRIDGE IN HAMBURG Three perspectives Traditional approach BIM pilot study (BIM4INFRA2020) INTERLINK Approach Pilot Detailed engineering info requirements Open standards IFC ASB-ING 12 The INTERLINK Approach - Using open standards for road asset information management

13 GERMAN CASE BRIDGE IN HAMBURG Model in Revit Detailed model Export to IFC (67 MB) Buildings objects (IFC Bridge not yet standardised) Filter to IFC without 3D (64 KB) RDF not efficient for 3D Widerlager (ASB-Ing) Convert to ifcowl Tool from buildingsmart Link with ASB-ING German road classification system used for asset information management 13 The INTERLINK Approach - Using open standards for road asset information management

14 GERMAN CASE BRIDGE IN HAMBURG Improve ease of information handover to existing databases Link inspection records to bridge objects (e.g. condition rating) Query objects by ASB-ING class in triple store Visualise in IFC viewer (Desite) 14 The INTERLINK Approach - Using open standards for road asset information management

15 6. VISION FOR ASSET INFORMATION MANAGEMENT: KEEP IT SIMPLE AND STANDARD Data should be liberated and shared Big-mama, Mother-of-all-Models doesn t exist: Combine existing (open) standards in separate modules, with road network model as a core The actual ICT landscape is hybrid and will be so for a long time Linked Data technology is the glue Develop your OTLs from the bottom up and reuse where possible Link to existing standards and OTLs as much as possible 15 The INTERLINK Approach - Using open standards for road asset information management

16 ROADMAP FOR YOUR ORGANISATION Choose strategically for data-orientation using open data standards Accept multiple formats / levels of information and use linked data as glue Select your modelling (& linking) guide, pref. harmonised with business partners, KISS Define your network of OTLs, pref. harmonised with business partners Select, develop, implement your separate OTLs; starting small, reuse where possible 16 The INTERLINK Approach - Using open standards for road asset information management

17 CURRENT STATE OF THE PROJECT Project nearly finished: final report publicly available in November Modelling & Linking Guide EUROTL core, its ontologies, fully documented Linked standards: INSPIRE - Road Network, incl. GeoSPARQL and GML ifcowl, ISO linear referencing AM4INFRA taxonomy SOSI, CoClass, ASB-ing, OKSTRA, COINS National projects in Norway, Netherlands, Ireland, Sweden CEN TC442-WG4-TG3: standardise M&LG How about building SMART? 17 The INTERLINK Approach - Using open standards for road asset information management
