"BIM for Rail-LCA is developing a set of Building Information Modeling (BIM) - based tools and methodologies for increasing the level of automation in executing a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of railway infrastructures.
The project is led by Italferr spa, a company belonging to the Italian State Railways Group Ferrovie dello Stato Italiano – with a 30 year long experience in infrastructure engineering. The project partnership also includes the University of Salento and Ecoinnovazione srl.
The project activities include: producing a model of the rail infrastructure using the interoperable format IFC with the necessary information for carrying out LCA; mapping and evaluating the engineering design processes using BPMN; development of an impact database specific fo the railway industry; gathering requirements for automation and software development via focus groups with project partners; software development and testing in a real railway scenario."
