Digital regulations for the planning and testing of railway bridges
How can complex technical regulations be prepared in such a way that they can not only be read in digital planning and testing processes, but also applied in a structured manner? This is precisely where the mFUND project SmartBridgeRules comes in. The aim of the project is to make the technical regulations for railway bridge construction, which have been predominantly text-based up to now, digitally usable, thereby significantly improving planning, testing, and approval processes.
