• Challenge to preserve, operate, maintain, repair, and renew aging
infrastructure
• Infrastructure: transportation networks, water and waste water service
facilities, energy production and distribution facilities, and communication
networks
• Communication networks: vital for quick responses in case of emergency,
planning for routine maintenance (e.g. Fiber optic cable)
Asset Management
Fiber Optic Cable Network
• Effective data-intensive communication systems
• Widespread application: everyday communication, manage crime
• Operations of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)
• Connects department inner networks, city buildings, and main facilities
such as police and fire departments
• Efficient telecommunications between departments can minimize the
negative impacts of the emergency
