DEVELOPMENT OF A CONCEPT FOR THE PREPARATION OF DESIGNS FOR ROADS USING DATA PROCESSING EQUIPMENT, AND PREPARATION OF A PLAN OF REALIZATION.

ENTWICKLUNG EINES KONZEPTES ZUR ENTWURFSBEARBEITUNG IM STRASSENBAU BEIM EINSATZ VON DV-ANLAGEN UND AUFSTELLUNG EINES REALISIERUNGSPLANS

T8E ORIENTATION OF RESEARCH ACTIVITY WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE AVERAGE-LENGTH RESEARCH PROGRAMME WITH THE AIM OF DEVELOPING AN INTEGRATED INFORMATION AND CALCULATION SYSTEM FOR DESIGN IN ROAD CONSTRUCTION REQUIRES DETAILED PLANNING AND PREPARATION. THE PRESENT CONCEPT OF A COMPUTER SYSTEM FOR DESIGN REGARDS THE FOLLOWING POINTS AS PARTICULARLY SIGNIFICANT: OVERALL PROGRAMME AND DATA STRUCTURE, EXPANSION OF THE DESIGN PRINCIPLES IN DIGITAL FORM, INCREASED USE OF COMPUTERS (PARTICULARLY AS INFORMATION SYSTEMS) IN THE PRELIMINARY STUDIES IN ORDER TO FIND THE BEST DESIGN, INTENSIVE USE OF EQUIPMENT WHICH CONVERTS INFORMATION, PARTICULARLY FOR GRAPHIC ILLUSTRATIONS. WITH REFERENCE TO DEVELOPMENTS WHICH HAVE TAKEN PLACE UP TO NOW, A FUNCTIONAL CHART CONTAINING A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE AIMS IS TO BE PREPARED. FROM THIS IS TO BE DERIVED A PLAN OF REALIZATION AS A GUIDE TO COORDINATED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY.
