This program creates scientific and engineering knowledge:
For the intelligent renewal of civil infrastructure systems, such as transportation, water supply, sanitation, power generation, and the built environment, by promoting broad application of advanced information technologies to condition assessment, deterioration, and asset management sciences.
For the intelligent design, construction, maintenance, operation and decommissioning of the built environment.
Important areas of inquiry are:
• intra-and inter-dependencies in infrastructure systems• health monitoring of infrastructure elements and systems• civil infrastructure protection • hydrogen fuel vehicles and transportation systems• infrastructure for hydrogen fuel storage and distribution• intelligent transportation systems• crash causation and crash avoidance measures in ground transportation• mobility in ground transportation through reduction of crash-caused delays and increases in the amount of vehicle throughput• fully automated and integrated project management processes across all life-cycle phases of the built environment• lean construction• engineering and management of job-site field operations through advanced information technologies
