Cambridge Centre for Smart Infrastructure and Construction

Transforming infrastructure through smarter information
 

Read the latest Smart Infrastructure Blog, written by CSIC Research Associate Dr Didem Gürdür Broo, published today.  

Titled ‘Data as a journey, not a destination’, the blog brings focus to the collection, curation and whole-life accessibility of high-quality data to optimise the performance and maintenance of our existing infrastructure: “The availability of reliable data enables us to use our infrastructure efficiently, bringing a sustainable, carbon-free world within reach. However, despite this potential, research shows that as few as 10 per cent of companies are attempting to put data and artificial intelligence to work across their businesses.”

The informative and thought-provoking blogs are written by members of the CSIC team, partners and industry experts to showcase opinions and ideas from the forefront of smart infrastructure and construction.
