On June 1, the world’s longest railway tunnel officially opened, featuring an Emergency Response System from Hexagon Safety & Infrastructure. As a subcontractor of Siemens Switzerland, Hexagon Safety & Infrastructure integrated its Intergraph Computer-Aided Dispatch (I/CAD) within the Gotthard Base Tunnel’s two Tunnel Control Systems.
AlpTransit Gotthard Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Swiss Federal Railways (SBB), is the constructor of the Gotthard axis of the new rail link from the north to the south through the Alps. Seventeen years after the first blast in the main duct, the Gotthard Base Tunnel consists of two 57-kilometers-long single-track tubes. With a rock overburden of up to 2,300 meters, the Gotthard Base Tunnel is also the world's deepest railway tunnel constructed to date. The scheduled commercial services will start in December 2016.
Solving operations-related tasks is a major aspect of the work of the Gotthard Base Tunnel. Two fully redundant Tunnel Control Systems have been implemented by Siemens Switzerland in two separate Tunnel Control Centers at the north and south portals, respectively, to control and monitor all the tunnel’s electrical systems. An essential part of these Tunnel Control Systems is emergency handling in terms of monitoring emergency procedures and informing the operator in case procedures are not initiated automatically and correctly. Leveraging four operational seats of Hexagon’s I/CAD, the Emergency Response System is an integrated element of the Tunnel Control Systems.
“Security is paramount in the Gotthard Base Tunnel,” said Peter Müller, Project Manager of the Tunnel Control System, Siemens Switzerland. “And as a key tool fully integrated in the Tunnel Control Systems, Hexagon’s software solution ensures the necessary and proper steps for all cases of incident response.”
I/CAD is the key system for the management of events, such as trains stuck in the tunnels, fires in the tunnels, incidents on track construction sites or extreme weather events affecting the infrastructure. In case of an incident, Hexagon’s dispatching system supports operating personnel via checklists, situation plans and instructions to schedule and mobilize intervention teams. The system also provides a convenient way to monitor intervention areas.
“Gotthard Base Tunnel is a project of the century in respect to engineering, transportation and security,” said Maximilian Weber, senior vice president, EMEA, Hexagon Safety & Infrastructure. “We are proud that our software can help to maintain safe and efficient operations in this key rail link.”
Hexagon Safety & Infrastructure’s proven, integrated rail solutions help operators balance multiple factors – from safety to capacity to quality of service – to achieve success. Its asset management solutions support networks that carry half of Europe’s heavy rail passengers, while its safety and security solutions protect 5 billion rail passengers a year in North America and Europe.

Stejně jako loni, i letos jsme hodnotili datovou otevřenost 26 statutárních měst. A stejně jako loni, i letos znovu vyhrála Praha. Zatímco loni jí sekundoval pouze Děčín, letos se k těmto dvěma průkopníkům přidaly také Plzeň, Brno a Ostrava.

Srovnání jsme provedli podle Konceptu inteligentních měst, která posuzuje otevřenost měst podle jejich schopnosti publikovat vlastní data. Výsledné hodnocení se skládá z hodnocení kvantity a kvality otevřených dat města.
Praha oproti loňskému roku ještě zvýšila počet datových sad, které poskytuje zdarma - napočítali jsme jich 107.
Plzeň skončila druhá, letos se jí podařilo spustit portál s otevřenými daty, na kterém zveřejnila 128 datových sad.
Brno skončilo třetí. Místo vývoje vlastního řešení vsadili ve městě na portál DataHub, na kterém dnes publikují 48 datových sad.
Ostrava se letos rovněž zařadila mezi seznam měst podporujících koncept otevřených dat. Prostorová data poskytují ve formátech ESRI Shapefile, GeoJSON, GML a DXF na mapovém portálu města.
Děčín klesl z loňského druhého místa na páté.
Otevřená data jsou potenciálním zdrojem inovací, nových služeb, mohou městu přinést úspory, které vyplynou z využití dat komerčními subjekty.

Publication Provides Students and Professionals with
Step-by-Step Guide to BIM Advancements and Best Practices
EXTON, Pa. – Bentley Institute Press, publisher of university textbooks and professional reference works for the BIM advancement of the architectural, engineering, and construction (AEC), operations, geospatial, and educational communities, today announced that Practical Structural Modelling With AECOsim Building Designer is now available as an e-book for Kindle devices. The publication provides step-by-step tutorials and interactive exercises to help engineers and designers quickly become productive with BIM workflows and BIM advancement enabled by AECOsim Building Designer, Bentley Systems’ software for the architectural design and multi-discipline engineering of facilities. The book is co-authored by Evolve Consultancy Directors Nigel Davies and Daniel Heselwood, highly qualified AEC professionals who together have more than 40 years of experience developing and delivering BIM courses and training workshops.
Practical Structural Modelling With AECOsim Building Designer is written for all experience levels, from beginners seeking clear explanations of AECOsim Building Designer’s functionality to experts requiring insight into the best methods of managing digital production and BIM advancement on a project. The detailed exercises in the book follow a typical project workflow, approaching each task as it would be handled in a real-world project, with associated exercises based on an actual building. Each chapter is also designed to serve as a stand-alone reference guide for more experienced users.
Said Heselwood, “Our goal with the book is to help engineers become productive with the principles of BIM workflows in a short period of time. The methods, tools, and best practices we discuss are all based on a real-world building project that was designed and built using these same techniques.”
Davies added, “The book reflects our unique approach to teaching, which we call ‘reinforced contextual learning.’ We present the information in context of the real-world challenges that engineers are likely to encounter in their work. We believe this real-world context is critical and better enables the reader to incorporate the information into their personal frame of reference and typical project scenarios.”
Like all of the titles in the Bentley Institute Press portfolio, Practical Structural Modelling With AECOsim Building Designer aims to deliver continuous learning to help both students and practitioners in infrastructure professions increase their technical know-how and improve their workflow efficiencies.
