The book examines the evolutionary trajectory, inherent challenges, and pivotal methodologies for modern-day infrastructure management, with a narrative that traverses the complex frameworks of different domains to coordinate a transformative, fully integrated approach. The appeal of the investigation is thus expanded from researchers and students to professionals across diverse fields, ensuring that actionable strategies are also incorporated in industry practice.
Data collection and sensors, spatial modeling and simulation tools, asset management, preventative or predictive maintenance measures, computational techniques, cybersecurity, decision support systems, and the transformative influence of smart cities contribute to the book’s breadth and depth. Real-world case studies are strategically interwoven throughout, offering tangible examples of encouragingly successful implementations and valuable lessons learned.
