Innovation and Knowledge Centre for Smart Infrastructure and Construction - Collaborative Programme Tranche 2

智能基础设施和建设中心（CSIC）的研究重点是在传感器和数据管理方面创新使用新兴技术，以及将最新制造和供应链管理方法应用于建筑和基础设施的新兴最佳实践。它的目标是开发全新的市场，实现业绩的突破。CSIC专注于传感器和数据管理中新兴技术的创新应用（例如光纤，MEMS，计算机视觉，电力采集，射频识别（RFID）和无线传感器网络）。它的目标是开发全新的市场，实现业绩的突破。该中心的成果将为建造业和基础设施业主及营办商提供手段，确保能够达到极具挑战性的新服务目标。此外，潜在的突破将使该行业更有效率，从而更有利可图。它们将使英国公司在日益全球化的建筑市场上获得竞争优势。CSIC与我们庞大的行业合作伙伴网络密切合作，为中心制定战略方向和合作项目。迄今为止，中心有30多个示范项目和个案研究。在第二期融资提案中，我们寻求在核心项目和第一期合作项目中开展的研究和示范项目的基础上，通过将技术开发为产品，通过在基础设施环境中部署传感器技术的标准化以及对所产生数据的分析，重点关注开发这些项目的产出，使其为市场做好准备。为了实现这一目标，重要的是创建一个“孵化器团队”，他们将开展产品开发活动，并将在现场部署传感器技术，进一步展示和完善CSIC的能力，并向市场展示这种能力的价值。该团队的组建将使其能够快速响应客户对技术演示和部署以及数据解释的需求，为我们的行业合作伙伴创造最大价值。这将产生一系列产出，旨在促进基础设施行业的广泛采用，包括：1)通过合资企业、分拆或知识产权许可，为这些技术提供具体的商业化机会；2)咨询服务，部署传感器协助客户，例如在施工过程中监测敏感结构，了解资产的实时性能或根据监测资产的数据高效地设计新资产；3)为资产结构健康监测、传感器网络部署和数据分析制定最佳实践指南；此外，CSIC还将开展进一步的研究，根据我们的行业合作伙伴通过会议和研讨会确定的新领域，将中心的技术能力扩展到新的领域。

The Centre for Smart Infrastructure and Construction (CSIC) research focuses on the innovative use of emerging technologies in sensor and data management, coupled with emerging best practice in the form of applying the latest manufacturing and supply chain management approaches to construction and infrastructure. It aims to develop completely new markets and achieve breakthroughs in performance.CSIC focuses on the innovative use of emerging technologies in sensor and data management (e.g. fibre optics, MEMS, computer vision, power harvesting, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Wireless Sensor Networks). It aims to develop completely new markets and achieve breakthroughs in performance.The outputs of the Centre will provide the construction industry and infrastructure owners and operators with the means to ensure that very challenging new performance targets can be met. Furthermore, the potential breakthroughs will make the industry more efficient and therefore more profitable. They will give UK companies a competitive advantage in the increasingly global construction market.CSIC works closely with our large network of industry partners in developing the strategic direction for the Centre and in collaborative projects. To date, the Centre has over 30 demonstration projects and case studies.In this proposal for Tranche 2 funding, we seek to build on the research and demonstration projects carried out in the Core programme and the Tranche 1 Collaborative Projects, with a strong focus on developing the outputs of these projects to be market ready, through development of the technologies into products and through standardisation of the deployment of sensor technologies in infrastructure environments and of the analysis of the data produced.Important to this aim is the creation of an 'incubator team' who will carry out product development activities and will deploy sensor technologies in the field, further demonstrating and refining CSIC's capability and demonstrating the value of this capability to the market. The team will be constituted so that it can respond rapidly to client demand for demonstration and deployment of technologies and interpretation of data, creating maximum value for our industry partners.This will result in a number of outputs designed to catalyse widespread uptake in the infrastructure industry, including:1) Specific commercialisation opportunities for the technologies through joint ventures, spin outs or licensing of IP;2) Consulting services, deploying sensors to assist clients e.g. in monitoring sensitive structures during construction, understanding live performance of assets or designing new assets efficiently based on data from monitored assets;3) Development of best practice guidance for structural health monitoring of assets, deployment of sensor networks, and analysis of data; and4) Development of training packages for industryIn addition to this, CSIC will carry out further research to expand the capability of the Centre's technologies into new areas, as identified by our industry partners through meetings and workshops.
