A Systems Approach for the Development and Management of Physical Infrastructure

نویسنده

چکیده

A methodology has been developed for modelling physical infrastructure life cycle development and management. It is based on a combination of flowcharting and analysis techniques, and maps infrastructure life cycle processes over time using a data flow approach, in which these processes are divided, over the infrastructure life cycle, into modules connected by information flows. This methodology is being adapted to constructing a framework for evaluating the options in the development and management of low volume roads in remote areas. Traditional techniques do not well evaluate these options, and the framework is aimed at providing an alternative for doing so.
