International Association of Transportation Infrastructure (INTATI)

Founded in 1995, the International Association of Transportation Infrastructure (INTATI) is a non-profit, non-governmental academic organization aimed at researchers, engineers, policy makers, and industry practitioners in the field of transportation infrastructure worldwide.

Division II — Cross-Cutting Technical Themes

TC-5 — Asset Management & Whole Life Performance

Whole-life performance prediction and deterioration modelling
Condition-based maintenance strategies and predictive upkeep
Asset management system architectures and city-level integration
Public asset performance evaluation and value realization
Life-cycle cost analysis and optimization of investment decisions

This committee promotes systematic approaches to infrastructure asset management across the life cycle—from planning and design through operation, maintenance and eventual renewal—with emphasis on performance-based decision-making, predictive modelling and data-driven management systems.

TC-6 — Low-Carbon & Circular Infrastructure

Low-carbon cementitious materials and alternative fuels in infrastructure
Carbon accounting standards and methodologies across the infrastructure life cycle
Recycled aggregates, material passports and design for deconstruction
Carbon reduction pathways and net-zero targets for infrastructure
Harmonisation of carbon accounting standards and support for low-carbon transition in developing economies

This committee advances the transition towards low-carbon and circular transport infrastructure, focusing on low-carbon materials, carbon accounting methodologies, life-cycle assessment (LCA), and circular economy strategies for infrastructure delivery and end-of-life management.

TC-7 — Digitalisation, IoT & Smart Infrastructure

Methodologies and data standards for digital twins of transport infrastructure
IoT-enabled structural health monitoring and real-time condition assessment
AI-based inspection, defect recognition and predictive maintenance decision-support
Cross-system and cross-jurisdictional data interoperability and open data frameworks
Role of smart instrumented infrastructure within city operation and management systems

This committee promotes the application of digital technologies—including BIM, IoT sensing, digital twins, and AI-based analytics—to the whole life cycle of transport infrastructure, with particular attention to data interoperability, standardisation, and the contribution of instrumented infrastructure to smart city data ecosystems.

TC-8 — Construction Innovation & Industrialisation

Prefabricated and modular construction techniques for transport infrastructure
Automated paving, UAV inspection and robotic construction applications
Digital transformation of the construction industry and smart construction sites
Quality control and standardisation in industrialised construction
Global technology transfer and localisation of construction methods in the Global South

This committee addresses innovations in construction methods and industrialisation of transport infrastructure delivery, including prefabrication, modular construction, automation and robotics, with emphasis on productivity, quality, safety and global technology transfer.

TC-9 — Geotechnics, Materials & Ground Improvement

Advanced engineering materials for transport infrastructure: UHPC, geopolymers, fibre-reinforced composites
Geotechnical investigation, ground treatment and piling techniques
Subgrade improvement and soft ground treatment
Material durability and ageing mechanisms
International standards coordination and certification for new materials and techniques

This committee covers geotechnical engineering, innovative materials and ground improvement techniques for transport infrastructure, with emphasis on soil–structure interaction, durability, and the application of advanced materials to enhance infrastructure performance.
