2. 1. Road Design for Future Maintenance : Life-cycle Cost Analyses for Road Barriers

   Author : Hawzheen Karim; Björn Birgisson; Ulf Isacsson; Rolf Magnusson; Robert Thomson; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; road maintenance; road management; road planning; road design; life-cycle cost; road barrier; guardrails; cable barrier; road traffic injuries; barrier collisions and barrier repair costs.; Civil engineering and architecture; Samhällsbyggnadsteknik och arkitektur; Vägprojektering för minskade drift- och underhållskostnader;

   Abstract : The cost of a road construction over its service life is a function of design, quality of construction as well as maintenance strategies and operations. An optimal life-cycle cost for a road requires evaluations of the above mentioned components. READ MORE

   Abstract : Roads are transport infrastructures that play a fundamental role in the development of societies and businesses. They are valuable assets, as they connect places, provide mobility, create jobs and stimulate economic prosperity. READ MORE

5. 3. Operator and Machine Models for Dynamic Simulation of Construction Machinery

   Author : Reno Filla; Jan-Ove Palmberg; Jonas Larsson; Allan Ericsson; Tobias C. Larsson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : dynamic simulation; construction equipment; discrete simulation; continuous simulation; operator model; driver model; integrated product development; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

   Abstract : VIRTUAL PROTOTYPING has been generally adopted in product development in order to minimise the traditional reliance on testing of physical prototypes. It thus constitutes a major step towards solving the conflict of actual increasing development cost and time due to increasing customer demands on one side, and the need to decrease development cost and time due to increasing competition on the other.

6. 4. System for Predictive Life cycle Management of Buildings and Infrastructures

   Author : Daniel Hallberg; Christer Sjöström; Michel Lacasse; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Life Cycle Management System; service life; performance-over-time; maintenance management;

   Abstract : The Life Cycle Management System (LMS) aims at supporting decision-makers and engineers in their efforts to achieve a more optimised proactive life cycle design and maintenance management strategy. LMS is an open and integrative system, which has to be adapted and developed in order to meet the needs and requirements of users. READ MORE
