Abstract

There is a growing interest by academics, industry and government to the digitalisation of the built environment and its potential impact on private enterprises, public services and the broader context of society. The UK government and others are aiming to guide and standardise this process by developing an array of standards to support this digitalisation, most notably on Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Smart Cities Framework. Furthermore, the advancement of the Internet of Things (IoT) is creating a highly flexible, dynamic and accessible platform for the exchange capture and of information. There is a risk that all of this information on the built environment is quickly becoming unmanageable, and the value of that information is quickly becoming lost. This paper proposes a smart asset alignment framework that aims to create an alignment between the information captured at the infrastructure asset level and citizen requirements within a smart city framework.
