Decision support system for infrastructure sustainability in operations

There is an increasing awareness of sustainability and climate change and its impact on infrastructure and engineering asset management in design, construction, and operations. Sustainability rating tools have been proposed and/or developed that provide ratings of infrastructure projects in differing phases of their life cycle on sustainability. This paper provides an overview of decision support systems using sustainability rating framework that can be used to prioritize or select tasks and activities within projects to enhance levels of sustainability outcomes. These systems can also be used to prioritize projects within an organization to optimize sustainability outcomes within an allocated budget

A Decision-Making Model for Critical Infrastructures in Conditions of Deep Uncertainty

In this work, we develop a set of tools able to analyse different options in a generic case of critical infrastructure development with the consideration of climate change adaptation needs. As an example that will guide us through the process, we refer to a decision problem related to the hydraulic regulation of a strategic infrastructure (e.g. an airport, a power plant, a train station or a logistic centre) exposed to uncertain future climatic extremes
