Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: The result of this research is an alternative model for leadership character development in the South African National Defence Force (SANDF). The SANDF reflects the racial and cultural diversity of South Africa as a nation. The need for a unifying leadership-related mechanism for the military milieu in which humane leadership development will flourish, is evident. This statement is based on the premise that no evidence is found that any previous efforts by the SANDF to instil a leadership philosophy or policy as a way of military life was successful. Further shortcomings in the current SANDF leadership development model, apart from the reality that its selection process of officer candidates needs improvement, are the absence of political guidance and participation in the development of its military leaders, as well as emaciated attention to the development of the character side of leaders during officer formative training. The SANDF, unlike the international tendency, has no military leadership institution to ensure that its leadership development policies and practices are based on sound academic research. Such an institution will also ensure that the SANDF stays contemporary in the global field of military leadership development. The shortcomings of the current SANDF Model were identified by progressing through the academic theories on leadership and leadership development to a comparative analysis of leadership development practices in the militaries of Germany, the United Kingdom, Canada and the SANDF. This supplied the information needed to propose the Five Point Star Model (FPS Model) for leadership character development in the SANDF. The five components of the FPS Model, which address the shortcomings of the current SANDF Model, are Convergent Leadership, Political Participation, Superior Selection, Interventions for Leadership Character Development, and a Military Leadership Institution.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die uitkoms van hierdie navorsing is ’n alternatiewe model wat die tekortkominge in die ontwikkeling van leierskapkarakter in die Suid Afrikaanse Nasionale Weermag (SANW) aanspreek. Die SANW weerspieël die rasse- en kulturele diversiteit van die Suid Afrikaanse nasie, wat die behoefte aan ‘n samebindende leierskapsverwante meganisme na vore bring. Hierdie stelling is gegrond daarop dat geen bewys, waar die SANW daarin geslaag het om ’n samebindende leierskapsfilosofie of –beleid as ‘n militêre leefwyse te vestig, gevind is om sodoende die militêre milieu te skep waarin mensgerigte leierskap sal floreer nie. Verdere tekortkominge in die huidige Leierskapsontwikkelingsmodel van die SANW, bo en behalwe dat die keuringsproses van kandidaat-offisiere uitgebrei en verbeter moet word, is die afwesigheid van politieke deelname en rigtinggewing waar die ontwikkeling van die land se jong militêre leiers ter sprake is. Te min aandag word ook gewy aan die ontwikkeling van kandidaat-offisiere se karakter of inbors tydens offisiersvorming kursusse. Die internasionale tendens is vir weermagte om ‘n militêre leierskapsinstelling te hê. Die SANW het nie so ‘n instelling om te verseker dat militêre leierskapsontwikkelingsbeleid en -praktyke op behoorlike akademiese navorsing gefundeer is nie. Dit maak dit moeilik om ’n kontemporêre bydrae in die internasionale veld van militêre leierskap te maak. Die wyse waarop die tekortkominge van die huidige SANW Leierskapsontwikkelingsmodel geïdentifiseer is, was om voort te bou op die akademiese teorieë oor leierskap en leierskapsontwikkeling en om ’n vergelykende studie tussen leierskapsontwikkelingspraktyke in die weermagte van Duitsland, Brittanje, Kanada en die SANW te doen. Die vergelykende studie het inligting verskaf om die Vyfpuntster Model vir die ontwikkeling van leierskapkarakter in die SANW voor te stel. Die vyf komponente van die nuwe model spreek die tekortkominge van die huidige SANW Model aan, en die komponente is Konvergerende Leierskap, Politieke Deelhebberskap, Voortreflike Keuring, Intervensies vir Leierskapkarakterontwikkeling, en ‘n Instansie vir Militêre Leierskap.

Full textFrançois-Henri de Montmorency-Bouteville, marshal-duke of Luxembourg (1628-1695), followed a long career of general officer, from the end of the Thirty Years’ War till the Nine Years’ War, and had a contrasted life marked by the inconstancies of the favour and the fortune of war. Committed in the Fronde with his relative, the prince of Condé, who obtained for him in 1661 the hand of the heiress of the “pairie” of Luxembourg, he returned to the service during the War of Devolution. Having acquired the protection of Louvois, he commanded in Holland in 1672, then became captain of a company of “gardes du corps”, before becoming marshal of France in 1675. Involved in the Affair of the Poisons, he was pushed aside from commands and had to wait for the campaign of 1690 to find back the direction of the army of Flanders, which he commanded until 1694. His victories, although not totally exploited, were worth to him an unequalled glory at that time, and the nickname of “The Tapissier de Notre-Dame” ; they also made him one of the most powerful generals in the court of Louis XIV, which favored the rise of his family. The study of his career contributes remarkably to the history of the interested collaboration between the high nobility and the absolutist monarchy, and of the place of the generals in the State and the kingdom’s government. The analysis of his campaigns and his experience of command reveals the evolution of warfare, in the time of the “stratégie de cabinet” and the limited conflicts, as well as the progressive transformations of the practice of war and fighting

Full textA new concept of airship without thrust, elevator or rudder is considered in this thesis. It is actuated by a moving mass and a mass-adjustable internal air bladder. This results into the motion of the center of gravity and the change of the net lift. The development of this concept of airship is motivated by energy saving. An eight degrees-of-freedom complete nonlinear mathematical model of this airship is derived through the Newton-Euler approach. The interconnection between the airship's rigid body and the moveable mass is clearly presented. The dynamics in the longitudinal plane is analyzed and controlled through a LQR method, a simple state feedback, and the maximal feedback linearization with internal stability. Thanks to maximal feedback linearization, an efficient nonlinear control is derived. In this process, the modelling, analysis, and control are solved for special cases of the airship which become gradually closer to the most general model. The most constrained special case reduces to a two DOF system. It is shown that the basic properties of this two DOF mechanical system remain instrumental for the analysis and synthesis of advanced airships. These properties are far from being obvious from the most complex model. Through a singular perturbation approach, the superposition of the two control actions in the longitudinal plane and in the lateral plane is shown to achieve the control of the dynamics in three dimension

Full textThis essay explores the singularities of the proper name, which is both owned by x and refers to x. The name which x bears is not exactly the name that refers to that x and I’ll try to describe the denominative property « being called N » from an « ontological » as well as a linguistic point of view. The dissociation of the proper name’s two parts allows us to reconsider the question of its « meaning » (meaning of the proper name which refers to x and what the name that x bears signifies), before some proper names’ constructions, that are deemed « modified », are examined. I’ll try to show that three types of concepts (individual, denominative and non denominative) stratify a continuum that leads from proper names to common nouns.In a second time, I’ll try to analyze proper names such as « the Philosopher », « the City of Life » or « the Angelic Doctor », that are usually considered as nicknames. A diachronic study of the word « antonomasia » precedes a rehabilitation of the antonomasia of common noun, which aims at identifying a synchronic denominative level

Full textThis thesis aims to elaborate new control strategies based on Model Predictive control for wind energy generation system. We addressed the topology of doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) based wind generation systems which is suitable for generation platform power in the range in 1.5-6 MW. Furthermore, from the technological point of view, the three-level neutral-point clamped (3L-NPC) inverter configuration is considered a good solution for high power due to its advantages: capability to reduce the harmonic distortion of the output voltage and current, and increase the capacity of the converter thanks to a decreased voltage applied to each power semiconductor.In this thesis, we presented a detailed description of finite control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC) with two step horizon for two control schemes: grid and DFIG connected 3L-NPC inverter. The principle of the proposed control scheme is to use system model to predict the behaviour of the system for every switching states of the inverter. Then, the optimal switching state that minimizes an appropriate predefined cost function is selected and applied directly to the inverter.The study of issues such as delay compensation, computational burden and selection of weighting factor are also addressed in this thesis. In addition, the stability problem of FCS-MPC is solved by considering the control Lyapunov function in the design procedure. The latter study is focused on the compensation of dead-time effect of power converter

Full textIn Vietnam, more than half a million people do not have access to electricity. They are mainly in mountainous regions or on islands. However, this country has great potential for renewable energy. In this context, these sources of energy can be regarded as promising solutions both economically and environmentally for supplying electrical power. Solar energy is the most suitable to supply villages with electricity because of the plentiful solar radiation and relatively easy maintenance of the structures. In energy conversion systems using renewable energy sources, simple static converters are generally used. Indeed, if we explore a photovoltaic system, the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is done using a boost or buck-boost converter. Thus, in case of failure, the system is simply switched off. The aim of this thesis is to make improvements to an autonomous photovoltaic system that can be used in an isolated site. Therefore, an MPPT algorithm using three-level DC-DC converters is developed to extract the maximum power of a photovoltaic generator, whatever the climatic variations (temperature, sunlight) or charge. The system’s architecture is based on solar panels associated with a storage system, which required the development of a fuzzy supervisor to control the flow management. Finally, we propose a fault detection method to efficiently manage the failure of a multi-level converter element. Indeed, if there is a fault, we must go into a degraded mode to provide a service close to normal or at least minimal functioning, pending maintenance

Full textWe find several contents in artistic creation. We mainly focused on unconscious contents and, among hem, on rites, myths and archaics symbols. We noticed that we reproduce those myths, rites and symbols, without being conscious of doing so; we asked ourselves what purpose such a reproduction could have and, in order to find out answers, we turned to psychoanalysis and its relation to artistic creation. We came to the conclusion that we have a memory for those myths, rites and symbols and that their acquisition takes place even before birth. With this approch in mind, we studied plato's theory on memory's immortality as well as sigmund freud's theories on "phylogenic heritage" and carl gustav jung's "psychological heritage". We then applied these theories to raul ruiz film works

Full textThe S. A. S. Has gained a major following, yet what do we really really know about the Special Air Service? In July 1941, David Stirling founded the L Detachment of the Special Air Service Brigade in the Middle East. The initial concept saw the light of day with special missions behind enemy lines thanks to their ability to adapt to each one individually. On leaving the Middle East, the S. A. S. Got involved in the Mediterranean, Italy, France, Belgium, Holland, Germany and Norway. Further to various administrative changes, in 1944 a brigade was made up of two British regiments, two French battalions and a Belgian company as its fighting units. The name S. A. S. Stands for both the unit and the man. On trying to define these two bodies (man and institution), not only prosopographic and sociological studies but also statistical and memorial analysis of the different S. A. S. Missions based on the chronological events, were carried out on the front. The myth, having taken a disproportional place, historically speaking, is necessary in order to identify the emblematic characters and the legendary events. The brigade disbanded the 5th October 1945; its memory relates the historical facts: the French, Belgian and British partnership had retrieved their own lands now to be self-governed. By pitting the myth against the facts, the birth of this unit, still active today in the United Kingdom, recovers its rightful place in the history of the Second World War

Full textDuring WW1, the events bring a severe denial to the previsions. Instead of the short war won by the sole Land forces in one or two battles, the opponents bogged down in a long and costly struggle, which the Allies won eventually in choking the German economy and by the mean of successive battles of attrition.This unexpected course of events raises questions about the representations of war prevailing at this time, about the way they influenced the operations and conversely about the role of the French High Command in those relations. Studying military operations under this point of view is all the more relevant that this topic remains little known and that war is an activity where the discrepancy between reality and representations is most important. This discrepancy increased dramatically within WW1. The question is therefore to know whether the difficult evolution of war representations, in a sense compliant with the efficient conduct of operations occurred despite the High Command, under the pressure of events, or if he did not eventually concur in this evolution. The main impression is that the High Command was constantly trailing behind and that only resounding failures and the resulting decisions of the political authority caused the replacements in the staff required to change the representations. In fact, those impressions are misleading as far as they are based on a confusion between French High Command and French General HQ (GQG), which was only a component of High Command. Often put aside by the GQG, the generals belonging to the high command contributed in the evolution of this situation, through some of them, even if they did it in bypassing hierarchy

Full textAujourd'hui, l'aviation est en train de vivre des évolutions technologiques concernant surtout l'attribution de différentes fonctionnalités aux équipements électriques et ceci au détriment d'équipements hydrauliques et mécaniques assurant les mêmes fonctionnalités.Dans le cadre de l'avion plus électrique, le démarrage électrique sans capteurs mécaniques de la turbine de l'avion préoccupe les avionneurs de nos jours. Les problèmes introduits par ce capteur ont été identifiés : problèmes de coût et de poids, problèmes de fiabilité et d'intégration.Ce travail présente alors une commande sans capteurs pour la machine synchrone à trois étages à utiliser durant le démarrage électrique de l'avion. Ceci est réalisé avec trois méthodes de détection de la position selon la vitesse de rotation, basées sur :- l'injection d'un signal à haute fréquence- l'utilisation d'un filtre de Kalman étendu FKE- les fém. du PMG (Permanent Magnet Generator) La première méthode donne de bons résultats d'estimation depuis l'arrêt jusqu'à 8% de la vitesse nominale de la machine. Au-delà de cette vitesse, es valeurs des fém. du PMG deviennent assez élevées pour être utilisées dans l'estimation de la position. De bons résultats sont obtenus à moyenne et haute vitesse.Pour des questions de redondance, le FKE est aussi utilisé. Ainsi, la position estimée peut être fournie par l'un des deux algorithmes à moyenne et haute vitesse.L'implémentation de ces algorithmes est réalisée via une carte FPGA étant donné que celui-ci garantit un temps d'exécution. La rapidité de traitement garantit une estimation de la position quasi-instantanée et donc n'introduit pratiquement pas des retards dans l'estimation

Full textThis PhD thesis provides a numerical study of space trajectories in the Earth-Moon system when low-thrust is applied. Our computations are based on fundamental results from geometric control theory. The spacecraft's motion is modelled by the equations of the controlled restricted three-body problem. We focus on minimizing energy cost and transfer time. Optimal trajectories are found among a set of extremal curves, solutions of the Pontryagin's maximum principle, which can be computed solving a shooting equation thanks to a Newton algorithm. In this framework, initial conditions are found using homotopic methods or studying the linearized control system. We check local optimality of the trajectories using the second order optimality conditions related to the concept of conjugate points. In the case of the energy minimization problem, we also describe the principle of approximating Earth-Moon optimal transfers by concatening optimal keplerian trajectories around The Earth and the Moon and an energy-minimal solution of the linearized system in the neighbourhood of the equilibrium point L1

A idade dos participantes distribuía-se na faixa etária compreendida entre os 19 e 28 anos. Todos os participantes eram do sexo masculino e voluntários. Para avaliarmos a perceção dos instruendos, usámos um questionário, composto por 18 questões, maioritariamente, de resposta fechada, bem como, também, algumas de resposta aberta, sendo dividido em 3 categorias distintas. Para analisarmos as respostas dos participantes da amostra, foi utilizada estatística descritiva (frequência absoluta e respetiva percentagem), medidas de tendência central (média) e medidas de dispersão (amplitude e desvio padrão), quando aplicáveis. Com o objetivo de verificar a existência de diferenças estatisticamente significativas numa variável em função de outra, usámos o teste não paramétrico de Qui Quadrado, dada a natureza das variáveis (qualitativas). A estatística utilizada, foi efetivada com o recurso ao programa informático IBM-SPSS, versão 24, adotando-se como nível de significância o valor de 5%.Resultados: No que se refere à idade dos participantes da amostra, verificaram-se diferenças estatisticamente significativas nas capacidades motoras coordenativas, sobretudo, ao nível da “diferenciação cinestésica” (X2=33,874; sig=0,037). Por seu lado, relativamente às habilitações académicas dos participantes da amostra, constatou-se a existência de diferenças estatisticamente significativas no “Grau de importância atribuída ao treino das capacidades motoras em contexto de treino militar” (X2=19,284; sig=0,023); nas “Capacidades motoras condicionais – Velocidade” (X2=17,378; sig=0,043) e nas “Capacidades Coordenativas – Controlo motor” (X2=20,616; sig=0,014). No que diz respeito ao(s) trabalho(s) que os participantes da amostra desenvolveram ou emprego(s) que tiveram antes de ingressar no serviço militar, aferiu-se a existência de diferenças estatisticamente significativas nos itens: “Considera que o treino das capacidades motoras é mais importante que o treino das capacidades psicológicas em contexto militar?” (X2=13,730; sig=0,008); “Capacidades Motoras Condicionais – Resistência” (X2=17,306; sig=0,027); “Capacidades Volitivas – Resistência à Frustração (X2=21,568; sig=0,043); “Capacidades volitivas – Resistência Psicológica” (X2=29,144; sig=0,004) e “Capacidades Volitivas – Superação” (X2=21,965; sig=0,038). Em função de os elementos da amostra terem praticado alguma(s) modalidade(s) desportiva(s) antes de iniciar a recruta, não se verificaram quaisquer diferenças estatisticamente significativas nesta vertente. Além disso, tendo em conta a idade dos participantes, constatou-se a existência de diferenças estatisticamente significativas no item “Sentiu que teve alguma quebra física depois de iniciar o Curso de Comandos?” (X2=16,131; sig=0,024). Por sua vez, considerando as habilitações académicas dos participantes, verificou-se a existência de diferenças estatisticamente significativas na “Perceção subjetiva de esforço que tiveram durante o treino militar - Precisão” (X2=32,760; sig=0,005); na “Perceção subjetiva de esforço que teve durante o treino militar – Marcha de Montanha (exercício operacional fim de curso)” (X2=21,538; sig=0,043) e “Considera importante que os instrutores/monitores possuam conhecimento científico na área de Educação Física para ministrar treino físico militar?” (X2=7,825; sig=0,05). Tendo em conta a eventualidade de os praticantes da amostra terem praticado alguma(s) modalidade(s) desportiva(s) antes de iniciar a recruta, verificou-se a existência de diferenças estatisticamente significativas na “Perceção subjetiva de esforço que teve durante o treino militar – Trabalhos ambiente natural” (X2=10,412; sig=0,034); na “Perceção subjetiva de esforço que teve durante o treino militar – Semana invertida” (X2=9,644; sig=0,047); na “Perceção subjetiva de esforço que teve durante o treino militar – Marcha de 10 Km” (X2=11,008; sig=0,012) e na “Perceção subjetiva de esforço que teve durante o treino militar – Marcha de 20 Km” (X2=9,554; sig=0,049).Concl
Objective: This study`s main objective was to analyze the students' perception regarding physical fitness, motor skills and military training during the Portuguese Command troops course. It was intended, through the application of a questionnaire, to verify if there were statistically significant differences in the perception of physical aptitude, motor skills, physical effort and military training, taught during Command troops course, according to age, academic qualifications, work (s) they developed or employment (s) they had before entering in the military service and some sporting modality that they practiced before starting the recruit.Methodology: We analyzed a non-probabilistic sample, consisted of 22 of the 27 military personnel, who successfully completed the 127th Command Course (2nd course of 2016) and 13 military personnel who successfully completed the 128th Command Course (1st year of 2017), with mean age of 21.69 and standard deviation of 2.36 years. In order to evaluate the perception of the students, we used a questionnaire, composed of 18 questions, mostly closed answers, as well as some open answers, being divided into 3 different categories. In order to analyze the responses of the sample participants, descriptive statistics (absolute frequency and respective percentage), measures of central tendency (mean) and dispersion measures (amplitude and standard deviation), when applicable, were used. In order to verify the existence of statistically significant differences in one variable as a function of another. The application of these tests were made by the program of a non-parametric Chi square test, given the nature of (qualitative) variables to analyze the variables under study. The statistic used was made using the IBM-SPSS software, version, 24, adopting a significance level of 5%.Results: When analyzed the importance that the concerning of the age of the participants in the sample, it can be observed that there were statistically significant differences in coordinated motor skills, especially at the level of "kinesthetic differentiation" (X2 = 33.874; sig = 0.037). Concerning to the academic qualifications of the sample participants, the statistical evidence shows that statistically significant differences were found in the "Degree of importance attributed to the training of motor skills in the context of military training" (X2 = 19.284; sig = 0.023); (X2 = 17.378; sig = 0.043) and in the "Coordination Capacities - Motor Control" (X2 = 20,616; sig = 0,014). Concerning with regard to the work (s) sampled participants or employment (s) they had before entering the military service, the statistical evidence shows that there were statistically significant differences in the items: "Considers that the training of motor skills is more important than the training of psychological capacities in a military context? "(X2 = 13,730; sig = 0.008); "Conditional Motor Capacities - Resistance" (X2 = 17,306; sig = 0.027); "Volitional Capacities - Resistance to Frustration (X2 = 21.568; sig = 0.043); "Volitional Capacities - Psychological Resistance" (X2 = 29,144; sig = 0.004) and "Volitional Capacities - Overcoming" (X2 = 21,965; sig = 0,038).Due to the fact that the members of the sample had practiced some sporting modality before starting the recruit, there were no statistically significant differences in this aspect. In addition, considering the age of the participants, there were statistically significant differences in the item "Did you feel that you had any physical breakdown after starting the Course of Command troops?" (X2 = 16,131, sig = 0,024). On the other hand, considering the academic qualifications of the participants, it was verified the existence of statistically significant differences in the "Subjective effort exertion that they had during the military training - Precision" (X2 = 32,760; sig = 0.005); (X2 = 21.538; sig = 0.043) and "It is important that instructors / instructors have scientific knowledge in the area of Physical Education to provide military physical training? "(X2 = 7.825; sig = 0.05). Considering the possibility that the practitioners of the sample had practiced some sporting modality before starting the recruit, there were statistically significant differences in the "Subjective effort exertion during military training - Natural environment work" (X2 = 10.412, c = 0.034); in the "Perceived subjective effort exerted during the military training - Inverse week" (X2 = 9,644; sig = 0,047); (X2 = 11.008; sig = 0.012) and in the "Subjective effort exertion during the military training - 20 km march" (X2 = 9,554) ; sig = 0.049).Conclusions: Considering the statistical evidence that emerges from the results obtained, it is concluded that the physical fitness and the development of motor skills can be considered as an essential factor in the scope of military training for the majority of the inquired participants. In addition, on this basis, we can note that both motor skil

Full textThe purpose of the dissertation is to analyze leadership patterns and practices carried out by direct line commanders in combat conditions. The main reason for undertaking the research topic was lack of a set of such characteristics in Polish and world literature on the subject. The research goals have been executed on a basis of qualitative analysis of 43 in-depth interviews with participants of military missions in Iraq, Afghanistan and Kosovo. The research was designed to collect data on two levels. Firstly, the goal was to reconstruct the leadership prototypes internalized by respondents, containing the characteristics of an exemplary line commander. Secondly, data was collected on effective and ineffective commanding practices categorized in the analytical categories derived from the works of R. Dilts describing functional leadership patterns. These are: leader-supervisor, leader-coach, leader-teacher, leader-mentor and leader-sponsor. In the process of analyzing the collected data a technique of multiple coding in the NVIVO computer program was used. The analysis focused on verification of three research hypotheses: (a) leadership prototypes regarding line commanders and leadership practices carried out by line commanders are isomorphic; (b) leadership prototype regarding line commanders in combat conditions is characterized by a set of characteristics differing from the general leadership prototype regarding military commander; (c) an effective military commander in combat conditions is characterized by a set of different competences in each phase of the combat operation (preparation, implementation and learning). Research results indicate a large convergence of prototype patterns and effective leadership practices. It has also been proven that combat conditions induce special emotional needs of soldiers. Analysis of the collected material also allowed to formulate more detailed conclusions. Lack of an ideological factor as a desirable motivator in combat conditions was found in the respondents’ interviews. Appealing to patriotic motives was considered ineffective. This conviction may result from the context of the respondents' actions, that is foreign missions, in which participation resulted only from Poland's allied obligations. At the same time, the respondents note the need for exemplary commanders to possess other higher values. In case of prototype features, they are mainly: being a "good man", charisma, awareness of his ethic code, showing paternal care over subordinates, and humanitarian way of conducting armed operations. In case of good commander's practices, these are first of all: caring for the safety of subordinates, manifesting as decisiveness and taking thoughtful actions during combat operations, and as regulating relations between soldiers in the spirit of camaraderie and respect for their uniqueness during stationing in the base. The research also allowed to capture organizational characteristics traditionally recognized as a theme of "learning organization". Standards present in the organizational culture of the Polish Armed Forces make it impossible to draw experience from foreign missions, both in the dimension of military competences and in the communication patterns, more liberal in combat conditions. One can formulate a hypothesis that the organizational learning of units of the Polish Armed Forces is present only in its negative form. It manifests as a well-established pattern of reaction in the situation of contact with an opponent, known as the Nangar Khel Syndrome. It involves not taking action in the fire contact situation because of fear of recognizing them as a violation of the Rules of Engagement and legal consequences after returning to the country. The dissertation ends up with general recommendations regarding the selection and training system of candidates for command line positions.

Full textThe rail-based transportation projects are at the first line of any strategic agenda, as the advantages realized from them such as environmental sustainability, economic benefits and the enhanced transportation safety to the passengers are well researched and proven. It is also important that the methods and processes of BIM are applied to the rail-based projects, for the project executors to deliver the project without time and cost overruns. There are many examples cited to show the advantages that major railway projects around the world have accomplished over the different phases of the project life cycle by embracing the BIM processes. There are impairments in the adoption of BIM across the supply chain in the railway projects, with the huge ecosystem and multiple heterogenous participants. So, it is essential to understand the stakeholder’s arrangements and their requirements in terms of Information, to completely utilize the information management functions using BIM technologies and methods. The integration of the supply chain and appropriate information transition across the project phases are the key considerations for the development of a BIM framework for effective information management across the project. This work aims to contribute to a clarification of the information workflow and the importance of each one of the tools used for its management, throughout the setting up of some conceptual frameworks. Common Data Environment is analyzed as a powerful tool for the management, development, dissemination, and archiving of information, to serve as an integration channel for the supply chain. There are standard recommendations and frameworks developed to assist the organizations for setting up the CDE that will integrate the different stakeholders and act as the Single source of truth of the information for the ecosystem at any given phase of the project. The information requirements are recommended to be divided into Organization Information requirements, Asset Information Requirements, Project Information Requirements and Exchange Information Requirements. It is critical that the requirements are defined based on the requirements of expected BIM Uses, Project Phases essentials and stakeholders’ requirements. The principle of expressing the information requirements at the procurement process is based on ‘keeping end in mind’, which is vital from the operations and maintenance perspectives. The concept of Pre-Contract and Post-Contract BIM Execution Plan are also essential to complete the procurement cycle and the assessment of the delivery team.
Os projetos de transporte ferroviário estão na primeira linha de qualquer agenda estratégica, uma vez que as vantagens que deles resultam, tais como a sustentabilidade ambiental, os benefícios económicos e o aumento da segurança do transporte para os passageiros, estão já bem investigadas e comprovadas. É também importante que os métodos e processos do BIM sejam aplicados aos projetos relacionados com o caminho-de-ferro, para que os executores do projeto o entreguem sem exceder os prazos e os custos. Há já muitos exemplos referenciados, em todo o mundo, para mostrar as vantagens que os grandes projetos ferroviários atingem, ao longo das diversas fases do ciclo de vida do projeto, ao adotarem processos BIM. Existem, porém, deficiências na adoção do BIM ao longo da cadeia de fornecimento, nos projetos ferroviários, dado o enorme ecossistema e múltiplos e heterogéneos participantes. Assim, é essencial compreender as necessidades das partes interessadas e os seus requisitos em termos de Informação, para poder utilizar cabalmente as funções de gestão da informação utilizando as tecnologias e métodos BIM. A integração da cadeia de fornecimento e a transição adequada da informação ao longo das diversas fases do projeto são chave para o completo desenvolvimento de uma estrutura BIM e para uma gestão eficaz da informação em todo o projeto. Este trabalho visa contribuir para uma clarificação do fluxo da informação e da importância de cada uma das ferramentas utilizadas para a sua gestão, através da definição de alguns enquadramentos conceptuais. O Ambiente Comum de Dados é analisado, enquanto ferramenta poderosa para a gestão, desenvolvimento, disseminação e arquivo da informação, para servir como um canal de integração para toda a cadeia de fornecimento. Existem recomendações e enquadramentos normalizados desenvolvidos para apoiar as organizações na definição do CDE de modo a integrar os diferentes intervenientes e atuar como “fonte única da verdade” da informação, para o ecossistema, em qualquer fase do projeto. Recomenda-se que os requisitos de informação sejam divididos em Requisitos de Informação da Organização, Requisitos de Informação de Ativos, Requisitos de Informação do Projeto e Requisitos de Trocas de Informação. É fundamental que os requisitos sejam definidos com base nos requisitos das utilizações esperadas do BIM, das principais fases do projeto e dos requisitos das partes interessadas. O princípio de explicitar os requisitos de informação logo no processo de contratação, baseia-se em "ter o fim em vista", o que se torna vital sob o ponto de vista das operações e manutenção. O conceito de Plano de Execução BIM Pré-Contrato e Pós-Contrato é também essencial para se completar o ciclo de aprovisionamento e a avaliação da equipa fornecedora.
