We tackle the challenge of managing and analyzing the large volumes of data generated by infrastructure systems using advanced tools such as SmartCard, GPR, LiDAR, high-speed cameras, and environmental sensors. The goal is to enhance data collection, storage, and integration techniques from diverse sources, ensuring more efficient demand management, infrastructure investments and supporting timely, informed decision-making.
