Intelligent Infrastructure
A straightforward definition of intelligent infrastructure is the collection and analysis of data to create knowledge which is used as feedback to modify the behaviour of the infrastructure. This principle can be applied to a simple traffic light signalling system or a complex transportation system. Even before the phrase was widely accepted, intelligent infrastructure was at the heart of our business - expertise from across TRL has been applied to creating innovative solutions in this field. |

TRL specialists in this area come from a wide variety of diverse disciplines including science, statistics, engineering, communications and psychology. Their know-how is available to provide input into any aspect of an intelligent infrastructure project. Our experience ranges from characterising the behaviour of existing infrastructure to designing real-time monitoring systems and feedback mechanisms, right through to client-side consultancy for implementation projects.
