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

智能基础设施与建设中心(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，以及将最新的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。CSIC致力于开发全新的市场并实现性能突破。CSIC专注于传感器和数据管理领域新兴技术的创新应用(例如光纤、MEMS、计算机视觉、能量采集、射频识别(RFID)和无线传感器网络)。该中心的目标是开拓全新的市场，并在表现上取得突破。该中心的成果将为建造业及基建业主和营运者提供方法，以确保能达到极具挑战性的新表现目标。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，为中心和合作项目制定战略方向。到目前为止，该中心已有30多个示范项目和案例研究。在这项第二阶段资助的建议中，我们寻求在核心方案和第一阶段合作项目中开展的研究和示范项目的基础上再接再厉，重点是通过将技术开发成产品以及通过基础设施环境中传感器技术的标准化部署和所产生的数据分析来开发这些项目的成果以适应市场需求。为实现这一目标，重要的是建立一个‘孵化器团队’，该团队将开展产品开发活动，并在现场部署传感器技术。进一步展示和提炼中投的能力，向市场展示这一能力的价值。该团队的组成将使其能够迅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。这将产生一些旨在促进基础设施行业广泛采用的产出，包括：1)通过合资企业、剥离或知识产权许可，为技术提供具体的商业化机会；2)咨询服务，部署传感器以协助客户，例如在施工期间监测敏感结构、了解资产的现场性能或根据受监测资产的数据有效地设计新资产；3)为资产的结构健康监测、传感器网络的部署和数据分析制定最佳实践指南；以及4)为行业开发培训包此外，CSIC将开展进一步的研究，以将中心的技术扩展到我们的行业合作伙伴通过会议和研讨会确定的新领域。

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.
