Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are inviting submissions to this Special Issue on “Infrastructure Management and Maintenance: Methods and Applications”.
Transport infrastructure has increasingly become one of the most crucial factors for the development of modern society. In the last decade, awareness of the demands in maintaining the existing infrastructures has been raised. The future of the infrastructure industry will lie in those existing and properly maintained rather than replacements. Therefore, sustainability and resilience issues are the top priorities for engineers and researchers within the infrastructure field.
In particular, the development of methods and applications that are more accurate, efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable to support all aspects of lifecycle management is essential to the successful completion of this settlement on maintaining the existing infrastructure.
