Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is comprised of selected papers from the 1st International Online Conference on Infrastructures (IOCI 2022). The event will be held from June 7 to June 9, 2022 on sciforum.net, which is the online platform developed by MDPI for scholarly exchange and collaboration.

IOCI 2022 invited papers and presentations that promote and advance the exciting and rapidly changing field of infrastructures, and a wide variety of excellent contributions were submitted. These contributions covered the following subjects:

  • BIM: Building Information Modelling for Infrastructure Management. Information exchange and interoperability for a collaborative lifecycle work. Industry Foundation Classes (IFC).
  • Digitalization: Digital Twins for Infrastructure Digitalization. Sensing and actuation technologies for infrastructure health monitoring. Diagnostics and prognostics. Model definition and updating. Infrastructure safety assurance.
  • Smart Infrastructures: Information Technologies as a base for Intelligent Transportation Systems. IoT systems and techniques. Cybersecurity.
  • Materials and Sustainability: Infrastructure and Construction materials. Multifunctional materials and structures. Concrete. Operation and Maintenance. Pavement management. End-of-Life. Management and application of construction and demolition waste (CDW).

These contributions were subjected to peer review and are published with the aim of rapidly and widely disseminating research results, developments, and applications. I hope that this Conference Series will grow rapidly in the near future and will establish itself as a new way of presenting the most recent and prominent advances in infrastructures.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Infrastructures is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Digital twins (DTs) represent an emerging technology that allows interaction between assets and their virtual replicas and enclose geometry from modeling procedures and dynamism from AI. DTs serve different purposes, e.g., testing how devices behave under diverse conditions or monitoring processes and supporting improvement. However, until now, the use of DTs for monitoring constructions has been limited, as they are frequently used only as a high-quality 3D digital representation without connecting to other systems, dynamic analysis, or simulation. This work proposes creating a DT for monitoring the construction of a wind farm. It draws a comparison between the as-designed models (from the design phase) and the as-built models (that represent the actual construction at different times). As a result, the DT can help to control deviations that may occur during construction. The authors propose using Unreal Engine to create an interface that includes as-designed models obtained from the building information modeling (BIM) and as-built models corresponding to different steps during the construction. The result is a video game-type interactive application with a timeline tool that allows going through the construction stages recorded in the as-built models and comparing them to the as-designed model.
