Abstract The formalization of environmental issues has gained prominence since the definition sustainable development by Brundtland's report. Environmental performance then been introduced to qualify “green” contribution an organization its surrounding environment. However, multi-dimensional aspects can be problematic when designing projects and making decisions, especially in infrastructure se...

The performance-based payment structure has been widely used in infrastructure PPP projects. However, existing research absent on the structural unbalance problem of current This study aims to construct an optimal proportion total payment, and then design a for Firstly, definition performance-linked rate is introduced characterize payment. Secondly, based different objectives maximum social ben...

This study proposes a bi-level optimization program to represent the electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure design and utilization management problem with user-equilibrium (UE) decisions. The upper level aims minimize total facility deployment costs maximize revenue generated from EV collections, while lower users’ travel times expenses. An iterative technique is implemented solve mixed-...

There is a critical need to make infrastructure systems more efficient, resilient, and sustainable. Infrastructure provide the basis for everyday life enable flow of goods, information, services within urban regional settings. Providing data-centric solutions improve this essential. This can only be achieved if we manage transform passive assets into cyber-physical systems. Digital twins bring ...

This paper examines the phenomenon of Community Design. It is a radical phenomenon in that community members collectively grow their own community information infrastructures without the intervention of professionals typically associated with such endeavors. A recently initiated comparative study draws on ongoing, longitudinal research engagements with a small number of communities and has iden...

The Internet is now central to a huge amount of our economy, and yet we are unable to depend on its continued and smooth operation. For some kinds of failures, the Internet has proven to be extremely robust. It has survived hurricanes, earthquakes, tunnel fires, and terrorist attacks with only temporary and partial loss of end-to-end connectivity. At the same time, other, seemingly trivial fail...

This document presents the works carried out to ensure the immersion of a multiagent system in a virtual environment. The researches undertaken within the framework of this work have been allowed the development of tools dedicated to the simulation and th study of factory area, which are generally in perpetual evolution. This set of tools makes it possible to study various flows circulating on ...
