Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Infrastructure Management has become one of the crucial components of modern business in the engineering industry. This topic is oriented towards various fields in infrastructure management, such as roads, railways, waste, energy distribution, green infrastructure, urban heat islands, building management systems, bridge management systems, etc. It also may include data and information management, as well as operations and networking management. It is a wide field which covers almost all engineering disciplines. To achieve more systematic and effective infrastructure management, nowadays it is often suggested to use a decision support system as a sustainable and functional approach to managing various maintenance and managing projects. This approach is adaptive, applicable, and easy to use, especially in comprehensive and long-lasting management activities.
