Challenges
Operational challenges in Transportation Infrastructure & Public Works.
Transportation systems face growing challenges as new technologies layer onto aging infrastructure. Legacy systems struggle to integrate, slowing digital transformation.
Meanwhile, connected technologies generate massive data that requires stronger management to ensure trust in decisions.
Cybersecurity threats are escalating as transportation becomes increasingly digital, while the complexity and untested nature of emerging tools raise reliability concerns—demanding expertise many operators lack
Managing Large-Scale, Dispersed Infrastructure
Transportation and public works assets—roads, bridges, water systems, and transit lines—span wide geographies and multiple jurisdictions. Coordinating inspections and maintenance across these dispersed systems creates major logistical challenges.
For example, citywide water networks must align with roads, lighting, and wastewater systems.
Proactive infrastructure management is an essential to navigating such complex, multi-jurisdictional coordination.
Asset Condition & Lifecycle Management
Assessing the health of infrastructure—pavements, bridges, culverts, and buried utilities—is slow, labor-intensive, and often subjective.
Climate impacts accelerate wear, while hidden failures make risks harder to predict. Examples include pavement cracking from heat, bridge scour from flooding, or sinkholes from failing pipes.
Research on multi-asset management underscores the limits of manual inspections in addressing weather damage and hidden faults.
Data & Systems Integration Challenges
Agencies struggle with fragmented data, legacy IT/OT systems, and surging sensor volumes.
Ensuring data quality and integrating real-time inputs are critical to generating actionable insights.
For example, a transportation agency may be unable to combine sensor feeds, maintenance logs, and GIS data due to outdated systems, highlighting the challenges of multi-source complexity and legacy silos.
Security & Resilience Risks
As transportation infrastructure becomes more connected, cyber and physical vulnerabilities grow.
Threats range from ransomware and phishing targeting control systems to sabotage of physical assets. Disruptions can cascade across economic and public safety domains.
Examples include attacks on air traffic control, automated vehicle networks, or rail signaling, highlighting the critical need to secure OT and interdependent systems.
