Maintenance of railway permanent way infrastructure plays a vital role in protecting the safety of railway transport. The infrastructure management of railway permanent way rarely involves effective information technology, causing the lack of supplies basis and the difficulty in tracking the relevant information of materials when problems arise in the facilities performance. This article introduced the concept of life-cycle management into the management of maintenance-of-way infrastructure and studied the information coding work on various stages of the life cycle. Simultaneously, the paper discussed how to integrate the resource of facilities and materials with the information management of maintenance-of-way infrastructure in the light of this theory.

The service system for managing the life cycle of locomotives faces the problem of obtaining objective information about the technical condition of the locomotive and its operation. Designers of equipment and the locomotive as a whole, locomotive-building plants, service companies, locomotive repair plants and the operating organization have their own information systems that are not connected to each other. It is proposed to create a cross-platform management system for the locomotive life cycle database with the collection of information from all information systems at all stages of the locomotive life cycle with the appropriate management organization, which is described in the article. Information about the structure of the locomotive equipment, possible suppliers and maintenance regulations (MRO) is formed at the design stage. Information on the numbers and suppliers of installed equipment and test results is generated at the stage of locomotive manufacturing. In operation, the mileage of the locomotive, the ton-kilometer work, and, if possible, the electricity consumption are recorded. The MRO system registers the types and volumes of work, their duration and cost, and the spare parts and materials used. Equipment replacement is also registered. Separately, the reasons for failures and super-cycle work are analyzed. As a result, the database is formed for multi-factor analysis of the reasons for the low reliability of locomotives, the high cost of the life cycle. Corrective measures are being developed.

We now switch to another crucial topic within a net-centric environment, and that is to address the digital storage needs within a global distributed environment. We address the need for greater storage; provide information as to how to determine storage requirements. We introduce the concept of storage life cycle management and discuss information management stages. A review of storage architecture is then provided which defines DAS, SAN and NAS. We go on to provide enterprise storage architecture design guidelines, and discuss the choices of centralized storage vs. distributed storage, vs. hybrid storage. We provide storage questions to consider for the enterprise and the net-centric challenges that lie ahead. We also discuss the people and processes and the dependency on network and communications.


Improving the efficiency of life cycle management of capital construction projects using information modeling technologies is one of the important tasks of the construction industry. The paper presents an analysis of accumulated domestic practices, including the legal and regulatory framework, assessing the effectiveness of managing the implementation of investment construction projects and of complex and serial capital construction projects, as well as the life cycle management of especially dangerous technically complex and unique capital construction projects using information modeling technologies, especially capital construction projects, as well as their supporting and using systems, primarily in the nuclear and transport sectors. A review of modern approaches to assessing the effectiveness of life cycle management systems of complex engineering systems in relation to capital construction projects is carried out. The presented material will make it possible to formulate the basic principles and prospects of applying approaches to assessing the effectiveness of the life cycle management system of a capital construction project using information modeling technologies.


The variants of the division of the life cycle of a construction object at the stages adopted in the territory of the Russian Federation, as well as in other countries are considered. Particular attention is paid to the exemplary work plan – "RIBA plan of work", used in England. A feature of this document is its applicability in the information modeling of construction projects (Building information Modeling – BIM). The article presents a structural and logical scheme of the life cycle of a building object and a list of works that are performed using information modeling technology at various stages of the life cycle of the building. The place of information models in the process of determining the service life of the building is shown. On the basis of the considered sources of information, promising directions for the development of the life cycle management system of the construction object (Life Cycle Management) and the development of the regulatory framework in order to improve the use of information modeling in construction are given.
