Digital Infrastructure and Cooperative Computation in Smart and Resilient Cities
The revolution in sensing, computation, the internet of things, and mobile devices over the past two decades has provided exciting opportunities for integrated sensing networks in the urban environment and has created a path towards achieving resilient engineering systems. Embedded and interactive sensory networks can deliver comprehensive feedback about the true conditions of structures, and produce information that can assist the operation, maintenance, rehabilitation, and functionality of structures and infrastructure. Simultaneously, we live in a time where ubiquitous smartphones contain dozens of different sensors and empower the public to regularly “crowdsense" infrastructures and the environment — and as smart and self-driving cars continue to emerge, vehicles will become a growing source for sensory data. Mobile sensor data streams enable a unique potential to monitor infrastructure at rates and scales not possible with prior technologies. The objective of this presentation is to provide a vision for how research in machine learning, sensor networks, health monitoring techniques, physics models, and the internet of things, supplemented by laboratory and field implementations, progresses to resilient and cooperative cyber-physical systems in a connected urban environment.
