Special Transports
Module for Calculating Special Transport Crossings Over Structures
Processes, analyzes, calculates, and responds to requests for special transport crossings over structures on the road network. Includes the generation and execution of finite element models for structural calculations along the transport's route and checks for clearances and other road restrictions.
This module, designed for a bridge inventory management system, automates email reception and parsing, cross-references a database to identify relevant structures along the requested route, verifies clearance compliance, generates and runs finite element models to determine structural capacity, produces results, integrates them into the inventory platform, and communicates them.
Main Features
Request Handling
Reception and parsing of special transport requests, with a document record of input files and those generated during processing, as well as storage of underlying information for database queries.
Numerical Calculation
Numerical calculations of special transport crossings over structures along the route, comparing resulting loads with those from regulatory convoys applicable at the time of construction to determine each structure's ability to support the transport.
Clearance Analysis
Verification of clearance compliance for special transport across all structures over and under the route.
Report Generation
Generates a report detailing overall transport recommendations, specific prescriptions for each structure analyzed through numerical calculations, indicating whether it is suitable for transport, the need for traffic closures, or other special measures. It includes aggregated and individual clearance analysis results and a summary of transport and structure data.
Special Transport Vehicles
Special transports are those that, due to their size and/or load, do not comply with regular traffic regulations. As a result, they require explicit permission from road authorities. Among other criteria, authorities must check whether each special transport meets clearance restrictions and if all structures along the route can support its weight. A comprehensive and detailed road asset inventory system enables the creation of this module to automate these requests, which would otherwise require extensive manual work.

Automatic and Modular Operation
All system components function autonomously, significantly reducing human labor costs for processing requests while enhancing system resilience by isolating potential failures to a single process that can be re-executed independently once fixed.

Traceability
Generation of logs and traceability documents, easily accessible to responsible personnel for detailed monitoring of system operations and identifying potential improvement areas.
