3DEXPERIENCE Platform Helps Create Public Transport of the Future

    The constantly increasing growth rates of industrial production, urbanization and the difficult environmental situation on the planet require new approaches in organizing freight and passenger transportation. Existing transport problems can no longer be solved by traditional methods.

    The Belarusian engineer and inventor Anatoly Yunitsky offered the residents of megalopolises and their suburbs a completely new option to increase mobility without violating the usual lifestyle and with minimal environmental consequences.

    “As a young man, I admired the idea of ​​space travel, but soon realized that we first needed to establish infrastructure on our planet and solve transport problems,” says Unitsky. - Unlike Henry Ford, who dreamed that the world was surrounded by highways, I want all continents to have safe, economical and environmentally friendly overpass string roads for intercity, suburban and intercity transportation. That is why in 2014 we created SkyWay Technologies Co. ”

    In the process of developing SkyWay transport systems, many specialists of various profiles are involved, simultaneously participating in the creation of the final product. Formerly SkyWay Technologies Co. used different, unrelated software products for the design, construction and manufacture of various systems and components. It was almost impossible to exchange data quickly.

    In order for all activities to take place in a single environment, SkyWay switched to Dassault Systèmes' 3D EXPERIENCE platform . This helps to cope with all the difficulties associated with the design of complex structures and devices.

    Today, over 200 company employees are working on this software platform, responsible for various components - design, hydraulics, pneumatics, chassis, air conditioning, supporting structures, electrical equipment, electronics, etc.

    We have to embed a lot of information flows into a single system, to unite different specialists who usually do not communicate with each other. By improving collaboration at SkyWay Technologies Co. began to make informed decisions faster.

    SkyWay uses CATIA Systems Engineering to resolve conflicts and errors in the interaction of various components of the transport system. Thanks to the transition to a single platform, engineers can see the actions of their counterparts, monitor the docking of components and quickly perform their own tasks, taking into account the existing restrictions.

    “The digital layout of the entire transport system, rolling stock, highway infrastructure and control system in a single environment is a huge plus,” says Alexey Voilenko, organizational development director at SkyWay Technologies Co.

    - It is not so easy to integrate dimensional tolerances for technical design and construction-related parameters into the project. This is what makes the production and construction of an integrated transport system a truly difficult task. 3D EXPERIENCE allows all professionals to seamlessly combine various technical standards and concepts. ”

    A huge role in determining the right approach to production is played by digital modeling. In the simulation mode on the 3D platformEXPERIENCE specialists make serious calculations, and with the help of the DELMIA module they manage production operations. The technological process before its physical embodiment is virtually tested. This helps in advance to choose the optimal approach to production. If changes are made to the project, the production data is automatically updated, because on the 3D EXPERIENCE platform, the design and production data are closely related. As a result, production efficiency is significantly increased.

    “In cars, billions tons of fuel are burned, which causes environmental problems: the destruction of the ozone layer, the greenhouse effect,” says Unitsky. - In combination with factors such as people's safety, population growth and an increase in the number of personal cars, this prompted us to develop a new paradigm in the form of transport, devoid of all the above disadvantages. In major world capitals, the construction of our string roads will help people spend three times less time on trips. I believe in the success of the project, because we are creating the perfect transport, and already showing it at EcoTechnoPark in Maryina Gorka (about 63 km southeast of Minsk). There were built four test sites that meet the most stringent requirements. To date, four models of rolling stock have been certified in Belarus. ”
