The Chair of Intelligent Technical Design is concerned with the application of modern information and communication technology (ICT) during the design, the construction and the operation of civil infrastructure, such as buildings, bridges, tunnels, road and pipe networks. In this regard, we use methods of Building Information Modelling (BIM), Computer Vision and Machine Learning as well as Virtual and Augmented Reality to efficiently and sustainably inform decision makers.
"Intelligent Technical Design refers to a design approach that utilizes advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, to optimize the design process and improve the performance, efficiency, and sustainability of building and infrastructure systems. It integrates data-driven insights, real-time performance monitoring, and machine learning algorithms into the design process to make informed decisions, automate manual processes, and reduce the risk of human error. The goal of Intelligent Technical Design is to create high-performing, sustainable, and efficient building and infrastructure systems." [ChatGPT, 2023]
DB Systel GmbH visits ITD
Current research and development topics in the field of building information modelling and digital twins were discussed at a joint meeting at Coudraystrasse 13A.
Deutsche Bahn has been a pioneer in the use of the Building Information Modelling method for many years. DB Systel GmbH, a subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn, is responsible for and manages important projects in the field of digitalisation and technology and plays an essential role in the digitalisation of DB.
At a joint hybrid exchange event with the Chair of Intelligent Technical Design, Prof Christian Koch and Judith Krischler presented the teaching and research focus of the professorship. DB Systel, which had travelled to the event with a team of product owners and agile managers, presented current development projects on the topics of digital twin, BIM and sensor technology, as well as planning databases and project management platforms. This was followed by an extensive round of questions and discussions, which provided the participants from both sides with interesting new insights into research and practice.
ITD was delighted to welcome DB Systel to the event!
