Dear Colleagues,

Currently, there is an increasing need for more efficient standardization, management, and interoperability of infrastructure data. In this respect, infrastructure information modelling is slowly gaining visibility as an analogy for Building Information Modelling (BIM), that is, a data management process of infrastructure from its design phase and for its entire life cycle. While different sensing technologies are able to efficiently collect data on a large scale, BIM should allow data interoperability for a standardized access to asset management databases, thus improving the efficiency of the information maintenance work and for risk assessment of the built environment of infrastructure.

This Special Issue aims to collect new knowledge on, but is not limited to, four main topics:

• Current and future trends on information modelling approaches;
• Information models of infrastructure assets;
• Applications of existing standards;
• Novel approaches that effectively integrate sensed data with IIM, following existing standards.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Infrastructures is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
