Preparation of predictions for the short-, medium- and long-term maintenance and reinvestment demand for all bridge structures in the existing network of ÖBB Infrastruktur AG.
The current FCP/ÖBB-prediction model was applied to a data set of approx. 10,000 railway bridge structures for the investigation periods of 12, 50 and 120 years.
The results of the common model have been incorporated for the determination of the future resource demand for the first time.
