EU ROADCON ….

Preparing for theEuropean 6th Framework Programme (FP6).


ROADCON EUhttp://roadcon.vtt.fi/ (June 1, 2002)

Strategic Roadmap towards Knowledge-Driven Sustainable Construction

1/5

European project IST-2001-37278

Expected to start 1 June 2002



2/5

- ROADCON is a strategic RTD roadmap project on ICT in the construction sector.

- As a roadmap project it will suggest and prepare actions for the forthcoming European 6th Framework Programme (FP6).

- It addresses "New ways of working and electronic commerce" (Key Action II) of the "Information Societies Technologies" (IST) programme. This is the area where most EC projects related to ICT in the construction sector are positioned.

- The proposal was submitted to the EC on the 21st of February 2002 and has been accepted. It is currently in final phase of contract negotiation with the EC.

- It will start in June 2002 and end in May 2003 which is before the anticipated 1st call for RTD proposals in FP6.



3/5

Main Aims

- Form a strategy for future research and development on ICT in construction.

- Prepare and suggest RTD actions and priorities for the construction sector in the forthcoming European 6th Framework Programme (FP6) and also to the EC.

- Identify key actors and stakeholders and prepare co-operation between them.

- Seek consensus among research, business and user organisations.

DIVERCITY function, form, content, behaviour

The objective of the project is to produce a prototype virtual workspace that will enable the three key phases (client briefing, design review, construction) to be visualized and manipulated, and to produce a set of VR tools that aid the construction design and planning process.

The ‘DDB’ scene


Conclusions* Meet globalisation

* Handle change processes in work and organisations

* Great need to increase awareness on fundamentals for beneficial change processes (knowledge exchange, demonstrations, participatory design)

* New forms and services for knowledge and physical artefacts trading

* Changed communication networks/content/form on all levels

* Increased possibilities to build (low cost) Virtual Worlds/rooms and Virtual Buildings (with partly redundant knowledge representations, temporal and intelligent properties)

* Design and try out of new tools for collaboration, communication and information handling

* Standards development and implementations

* Knowledge communication crucial (companies, schools, public services)

* The client, building product users, and suppliers will get greater influences in the design process.

* The building community must and will actively participate in the design, try out, and implementation of new IT tools to support high quality building products in a life cycle perspective.

We are all involved in a continuos change process and design of the future together (with constant re-assessments). Great possibilities and time to do some creative, bold, and holistic inceptions at both universities and industries
