Management of investment needs, while meeting regulatory and other goals, has required: A better understanding of what customers demand from the services they pay for, and the extent to which they are willing to pay for improvements or be compensated for a reduction in performance Development of models to predict asset failure and to identify and concentrate investment on critical assets Improved management systems Improved accounting for costs and benefits and their incorporation within an appropriate cost-benefit framewo...
Data Analytics for Smart Infrastructure
This book presents, for the first time, data analytics for smart infrastructures. The authors draw on over a decade’s experience working with industry and demonstrating the capabilities of data analytics for infrastructure and asset management. The volume gives data-driven solutions to cover critical capabilities for infrastructure and asset management across three domains: 1) situation awareness 2) predictive analytics and 3) decision support. The reader will gain from various data analytic techniques including anomaly detection, performance evaluation, failure prediction, trend analysis, asset prioritization, smart sensing and real-time/online systems. These data analytic techniques are vital to solving problems in infrastructure and asset management. The reader will benefit from case studies drawn from critical infrastructures such as water management, structural health monitoring and rail networks. This groundbreaking work will be essential reading for those studying and practicing analytics in the context of smart infrastructure.
