Integration of Smart Technologies and IoT in Civil Infrastructure Management

Abstract

The increasing complexity and scale of modern civil infrastructure systems demand innovative approaches to ensure their sustainability, resilience, and efficiency. Smart technologies and the Internet of Things (IoT) have emerged as transformative tools for real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and intelligent management. This research paper delves into the integration of these technologies in civil infrastructure management, examining their foundational concepts, state-of-the-art advancements, and practical applications. Case studies and technical insights highlight their potential to revolutionize transportation, water systems, energy grids, and structural health monitoring, while also addressing the challenges of data integration, cybersecurity, and scalability. The paper concludes with future opportunities and recommendations for advancing these technologies in infrastructure management.
