Abstract
Future-proofing our existing and new infrastructure has become a constant theme in government and industry discussions. To achieve this, we need to understand the performance of our infrastructure better than before both during its construction and throughout its design life. Using recent advances in sensor systems and new technologies from the Internet of Things (IoT), it is hypothesized in this chapter that the rich information obtained from embedded sensors within infrastructure will allow us to develop a new paradigm in designing, constructing, operating, and maintaining our infrastructure systems. The chapter discusses the potential value of sensing not only to understand the behavior of monitored structures but also to make better decisions for management of infrastructure at the asset and city scales with a whole lifecycle-based thinking. New generations of sensor systems that satisfy these new requirements are introduced.
