PI: Emin Aktan, Drexel UniversityThe advantages which are inherent in the management of the entire highway transportation infrastructure as one integrated hyper-system based on the principles of integrated asset management has been articulated by the FHWA as well as the NSF. Currently, both the FHWA and the NSF are very interested in synergistic research and technology demonstration programs that would advance the states-of-the-art and practice of the engineering and management of infrastructure systems. These two agencies offer a set of complementary resources that would very much enhance the Nation's capabilities for scientific research and demonstrations to advance the engineering and management of infrastructures. The challenge is to understand, conceptualize and frame the problem, and articulate the critical issues and their possible resolutions clearly. We need to bring together an expert community representing the broad spectrum of stakeholders and reach consensus on the definitions, issues and their possible resolutions. Then we may formulate, sponsor and execute research and demonstrations on actual operating or decommissioned infrastructures to test these resolutions. This proposal submitted to the NSF envisions bringing a group of multi-disciplinary experts to discuss and frame the problem and articulate the issues.

PI：Emin Aktan，Drexel University，在整个高速公路运输基础设施管理中固有的优势是基于综合资产管理原则的一个综合超系统，FHWA和NSF阐明了。目前，FHWA和NSF都对协同研究和技术演示计划非常感兴趣，这些计划将推进基础设施系统的工程和管理状态和实践。这两个机构提供了一系列互补资源，这些资源将极大地增强了国家的科学研究和演示能力，以推动基础设施的工程和管理。挑战是要了解，概念化和构造问题，并清楚地表达关键问题及其可能的决议。我们需要汇集一个代表广泛利益相关者的专家社区，并就定义，问题及其可能的决议达成共识。然后，我们可以对实际运营或退役基础架构制定，赞助和执行研究和演示，以测试这些决议。该提案提交给NSF设想，带来了一群多学科专家讨论和解决问题并阐明问题。
