Course Review in < 10 slides

What is Infrastructure?  “A civilization’s rise and fall is linked to its ability to feed and shelter its people and to defend itself. These capabilities depend on infrastructure - the underlying, often hidden foundation of a society’s wealth and quality of life. A society that neglects its infrastructure loses the ability to transport people and food, provide clean air and water, control diseases, and conduct commerce.”  NSF, ‘Civil Infrastructure Systems Research’, 1994.

What is Management?  The act, manner, or practice of managing; handling, supervision, or control: management of a crisis; management of factory workers.  The person or persons who control or direct a business or other enterprise  Source: American Heritage Dictionary (00)

Management Involves:  Decision Making  Issues across the (asset) life cycle  Uncertainty  Regulation/liability  Multiple dimensions / stakeholders  As mentioned before: spatial/temporal, deterministic/probabilistic, project/network..

What is Infra. Mgmt.?  Administrative process of creating, planning, and maintaining our infrastructures  An integrated, inter-disciplinary process that ensures infrastructure performance over its life cycle  Life cycle is entire time from design through decommissioning

Life Cycle Cost Influences Decreasing Influence Increasing Expenditure 100% 50 % 0%0% Planning Design Construction Maintenance Disposal Time Cum. Cost Level of Influence

Approaches to Performance  Condition Assessment  Condition Indices  Reliability Theory  Multi-dimensional Measures

“Failure”  Failure as not meeting expectations  Happens when P(t) < P F  Need to maintain performance level  Expectations increase over time P PFPF TDTD

What do Mgmt Systems Do?  Organize and summarize large quantities of information  Automate repetitive, lengthy, complicated calculations  Scenario analysis in technical/economic terms  Sound a bit ‘soft’ perhaps because they are so “high level” - i.e. used by managers not engineers, technician, etc to see big picture  Current hip lingo: management “dashboard”

Apply Data Mining to Civil Infrastructure?  civil infrastructure meets guidelines for selecting potential data mining problems  significant impact  no good alternatives exist  prior/domain knowledge  effects of noisy data are mitigated  sufficient data  relevant attributes are being measured

The Bottom Line: aka Good Advice about Infrastructure Management (and Life in General)  Nothing Lasts Forever..  Plan Accordingly
