PhD Studentship: Resilience-based Management of Transport Infrastructure Enhanced by Digital Data and Artificial Intelligence - Birmingham, United Kingdom - University of Birmingham

University of Birmingham Birmingham, United Kingdom

Found in: beBee S2 UK - 3 days ago

Full time, Fixed-Term/Contract

Description

We aim to develop a new data-driven tool to unravel context-dependency and enhance resilience-based management of transport infrastructure assets, by integrating computational modelling and AI. The primary objective of this PhD program is to enhance advanced Finite Element (FE) models by incorporating data sourced from diverse outlets like digital twins, point clouds, and/or other forensic evidence, which may be acquired through inspections. The aim is to augment the predictive capabilities of models concerning transport assets and/or networks, including bridges, roads, and/or railways. The overarching goal is to support decision-making rooted in resilience considerations. These refined models will allow for the prediction of asset conditions and the probability of failure under various hazard scenarios, such as climate-related events or human-induced stressors, like explosions resulting from acts of terrorism or similar hostility attacks. The research endeavours to develop a toolkit for classifying assets based on their performance, ultimately aiding decision-makers in addressing accelerated asset deterioration due to climate change and High-Intensity Low Probability events.

Candidate essential and desired skill set:

Basic knowledge on digital data and digital twins
Numerical modelling
Statistical methods
Willingness to learn computational modelling and Artificial Intelligence
Knowledge of digital data and the significance of digital twins
