Drone technologies can enable remote inspection of infrastructure, thereby improving safety by eliminating hazardous tasks previously done by humans.
An alternative means of conducting waste management and cleaning in stations through robots that spray cleaning chemicals (e.g. hydrogen peroxide) onto surfaces.
3D printers can produce components on-site to enable a faster response to maintenance needs, reducing environmental impact from transportation and reducing service downtime.
Digital knowledge platforms that share data and knowledge on-site during construction and maintenance, making it readily accessible to all workers thereby reducing project time while also improving work quality and safety.
Combination of sensors and machine learning to predict timelines and modes of failure for physical and mechanical assets such as pipes, pumps, and motors.
The use of sensors and robotics technology to enable preventive and predictive maintenance of bridges.
Automated Robot Cranes (ARC) with Artificial Intelligence (AI) to perform tasks autonomously to avoid collisions, accidents and delays during operations.
Regional navigation and information system enabling remote monitoring of location and condition of vehicles (e.g. school buses and ambulances) and quickly respond to unforeseen events or violations of the route schedule.
This use case aims at creating a distributed, secure, reliable and smart sensing system in urban and suburban areas capable of collecting information and data to be shared with local governments and public authorities to improve management, quality and provision of public services.
The use of Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence and 5G to enable Smart-Cities-as-a-Service (SCcaas) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) model to optimize the provision of existing public services.
Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) can be integrated in all stages of infrastructure planning and design to transport users into virtual environments that reveal what designs could look like when constructed and how they would impact upon the existing environment.
Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) can be used to deploy training programs and assist workers in performing asset inspections and maintenance works.
A central system of roadside installations and equipment relying on Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) that replaces conventional toll systems to enhance operational efficiency and reduce long waiting times for vehicles.
Cloud platforms for electric vehicle charging enables scaling up of EV charging operations by helping to manage wide charging networks more efficiently.
Integration of digital and communication technologies such as cloud computing, 5G, and the Internet of Things to improve operation, management and quality of services for transport hubs such as airports.
Artificial intelligence (AI) that streamlines processes, documents and data in the flow of goods to reduce duplication, automate handshakes, and improve status accuracy.
Developing infrastructure that is sustainable, resilient and inclusive is a complex endeavour and it is even more so in emerging markets.
Private investment in infrastructure through primary market transactions remains low at around US$100 billion per year and has been declining over the past decade according to a new Global Infrastructure Hub (GI Hub) report, Infrastructure Monitor 2020.
COVID-19 is the worst crisis since the Great Depression, and it will take significant innovation on the policy front to recover from this calamity.
Discover three trends in infrastructure design and use that resulted from the pandemic and are likely going to remain relevant to the infrastructure of the future.
