Abstract
The article presents the results of the digital twin technology approach development for artificial structures (hereinafter referred to as DSS) on the Russian Railways railway network. The term of the ISSO digital twin is formulated. Based on the analysis of existing developments, the problems in the implementation of the ISSO digital twin technology are highlighted. The disadvantages of using monitoring systems and the Internet of Things are noted. A specialized constructor algorithm is proposed for creating digital information models based on available information in automated systems of the railway infrastructure of Russian Railways. This algorithm uses several basic elements to create a bridge structure: a bridge bed, a superstructure, supporting parts and supports. The modeling of the elements themselves is provided in the most automated mode: data is integrated from available sources – automated systems, as well as a database in the form of a typical bridge structure catalogue. Data categories have been formed to fill in the information in the attributes of the information model: normative, design and diagnostic. An algorithm for the integration and analysis of monitoring system data is described, as well as their comparison with regulatory information. The obtained results can become the basis for creating a new system for managing the condition of artificial structures on the country's railway network.
