The “Infrastructure 4.0” Study by Software.org, an international, independent and non-partisan research organization, provides examples of how China, South Korea and Spain, among other countries, are modernizing their construction and transport infrastructure through use. of software. “There are software tools that design structures more intelligently and with greater agility, reducing costs and managing population flows more accurately,” explains BSA country manager for Brazil, Antonio Eduardo Mendes da Silva (Pitanga).
Below are examples of the use of the software in the infrastructure sector in the UK, USA, South Korea, Spain and China, listed by the BSA study.
United Kingdom
The UK has placed BIM (Building Information Modeling) software at the heart of its infrastructure expansion strategy. All infrastructure works promoted by the government must use technology. The forecast is to reduce costs in 33%, construction time in 50% and emissions also in 50%.
China
The Chinese used software to, in just three years, put into operation a fully automated network of high-speed trains with more than 1300 kilometers of tracks and 24 stations.
South Korea
South Korea is building what it calls the “City of the Future”. Songdo's infrastructure is full of software and sensors that monitor and regulate the city in an integrated manner, from temperature to energy consumption and traffic.
Spain
After investing in optical fiber and starting to offer 100Mbps broadband access to its population, Spain launched a national plan for smart cities that uses software to streamline public services and increase the population's quality of life.
USA
In New York, the subway network's control system was updated with software that ensures fully automated traffic management. Thanks to the new system, new trains could be added to the network and passengers started to wait less on the platforms. Line capacity rose by 20% and power consumption dropped by 15%.
