Cyber-Physical Systems in the Built Environment

This book introduces researchers and practitioners to Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and its applications in the built environment. It begins with a fundamental introduction to CPS technology and associated concepts.It then presents numerous examples of applications from managing construction projects to smart transportation systems and smart cities. It concludes with a discussion of future directions for CPS deployment in the construction, operation and maintenance of constructed facilities. Featuring internationally recognized experts as contributors, Cyber-Physical Systems in the Built Environment, is an ideal resource for engineers, construction managers, architects, facilities managers, and planners working on a range of building and civil infrastructure projects.

Introduces Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and its application to the built environment for the first time in book form Contextualizes CPS with an overview of its fundamentals as well as applications in construction and civil engineering as well as other industries Illuminates in the promise of CPS as an emerging technology with examples from many sectors as well as a discussion of future research
