The purpose of this pre-study was to review existing knowledge and define a research roadmap. The pre-study investigates the feasibility of combining Sensors, Machine Learning, Cloud Services and Building Information Modelling to create an integrated system that enables an upgrade of the current infrastructure network through a new generation of smart structures. The study focuses on the aspects that are required in order to ensure that such a system could be successfully implemented in practice. Via workshops and established collaboration, national and international, the project team has generated knowledge and gathered experts from several disciplines, such as data scientists, sensors experts and civil engineers. The main result of the work is a research roadmap that works as a guideline for Trafikverket in their task to develop and create a new infrastructure management strategy based on emerging technologies and innovative processes.
