Advanced Infrastructure Systems (AIS) Laboratory

In general, infrastructure (as defined by AIS researchers) is composed of various complex support systems upon which our society depends. These systems include transportation systems (roads, bridges, rails and guide ways), power distribution systems, telecommunication systems, and also water treatment and distribution systems. These systems are typically large, long-lived and exposed to the environment. They deteriorate with use and exposure, interact with other systems, and when disrupted cause major delays, loss of economic activity, and most importantly, loss of necessary support functions.

Researchers in the AIS Lab work at the interface between physical infrastructure systems and information management systems. The research in this lab is organized into:

• Sensor systems - the development of new Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS)-based sensors and field evaluations of off-the-shelf sensor systems;
• Mobile IT support systems - the development of prototype mobile and wearable computer applications for workers and the development of frameworks and knowledge-bases;
• Infrastructure system decision support - the development of integrated construction management systems to take advantage of the new streams of data made available by sensing and mobile IT support systems
• Data mining - the development of new techniques of deriving valuable relationships from available data streams.
