Abstract

Infrastructure is becoming smarter due to technical advances such as the Internet of Things (IoT) that enables a greater interconnectivity between assets and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance the decision making task; this paper proposes a Big Data Framework in Smart Infrastructure such as Airports, Stations Intelligent Transport Systems and Buildings. The interconnection of infrastructure systems using Local Area Networks, Wi-Fi, Radio or Mobile Networks is not enough to optimize and expand Infrastructure services and functionality; Big Data integration, management and analytics will play a key role in the next Smart Infrastructure stages when Infrastructure will learn and adapt to users. However, the inconvenient truth behind the Big Data hosted in the cloud is the intrinsically associated Cybersecurity threat and risk. This paper provides the practical application of Digital as a Service (DaaS) with considerations and recommendations that cover the implementation of Big Data in Smart Infrastructure with some practical examples of real Infrastructure projects: Buildings, Airport, Stations and Intelligent Transport Systems. In addition, flagship projects have also to be delivered on time, budget and quality within a Health and Safety environment in order to be successful where the understanding of requirements and solutions is key and an Agile approach has some benefits to the traditional project management delivery.
