Introduction
• Infrastructure planning, investment, delivery, maintenance, upgrading and improving all require DATA!– Supply and demand (NISMOD-LP)– Asset inventory– Performance– Failures and recovery– Connectivity
• Integrated data management environment required– Storage, maintenance and updates– Modelling and analysis– Visualisation and dissemination
www.itrc.org.uk
NISMOD-DB - Contents
• Database of spatial and aspatial infrastructure-related data for the UK– Traditional physical infrastructure assets– Hazards– Infrastructure capacity and demand modelling inputs and outputs
(NISMOD-LP)– Network modelling and storage
• Network-enabled database schema• Physical infrastructure network construction
• Prototype visualisation tools– Visualisation of infrastructure networks– Infrastructure data dashboard for demographic and economic projections

Future Work…
• Complex sets of outputs from infrastructure capacity and demand modelling (NISMOD-LP)• Integration of inputs/outputs within NISMOD-DB• Web services for remote execution• Development of infrastructure data dashboards
• Extension of current dashboards per sector• Single, integrated interface for all sectors• Development of visualisations for investigating and
disseminating infrastructure performance• Development of network visualisation
• Use of network visualisation tools for NISMOD-LP• Further development of network visualisation dashboards
for failure simulation• Extension of network module for end-to-end network
construction, storage, analysis and dissemination

Summary
• Data available on many aspects of infrastructure• Management, provenance, analysis and
dissemination key to effective research• Relational database, with spatial and network
extensions being developed as part of UK ITRC to:• Handle model outputs for future capacity and
demand under range of different scenarios• Build, store and manage networks• Disseminate data via prototype visualisation
tools
