Sistemas de Infraestructura

El programa en sistemas de infraestructura está centrado en el análisis y la modelación de los diferentes aspectos de la infraestructura. Entre los temas principales incluye la modelación matemática, toma de decisiones, aspectos financieros y diseño de contratos.

Subáreas de investigación

  • Flexibilidad, adaptabilidad y resiliencia de sistemas de infraestructura

Un diseño moderno debe ser flexible y adaptable, capaz de acomodarse a los cambios en la demanda, y ajustarse a las necesidades e intereses de los inversionistas.

  • Infraestructura sostenible

Una infraestructura sostenible debe ser eficiente, duradera y debe ajustarse al contexto local. La sostenibilidad también implica asegurar los recursos financieros para construir y mantener la infraestructura durante toda su vida útil, considerar las preferencias y necesidades de la población, y entender la dinámica política e institucional para garantizar que los proyectos sobrevivan y cumplan con su función durante todo su ciclo de vida.

  • Análisis probabilístico de riesgos (PRA) y confiabilidad

El riesgo se define como la curva de probabilidad de excedencia de las consecuencias que se pueden derivar de un evento indeseado. Estas medidas de riesgo requieren una evaluación probabilística del desempeño o de los procesos operativos del sistema. El análisis probabilístico es fundamental para poder obtener evidencia que sirva como soporte para la toma de decisiones.

  • Modelización estocástica de estructuras y sistemas que se deterioran – cambian a través del tiempo.

Estudio de las dinámicas de la evolución de los sistemas a través del tiempo como elemento esencial para definir los parámetros de diseño, y para estructurar programas de mantenimiento y operación eficientes.

  • Toma de decisiones en ingeniería; asignación eficiente de recursos en el diseño y la operación de varios tipos de instalaciones

La toma de decisiones es un proceso central el diseño y la operación de estructuras, infraestructura y muchos otros tipos de instalaciones. Buenas decisiones permiten asignar mejor los recursos eficientemente. Tomar decisiones acertadas requiere entender el contexto, la complejidad de los sistemas, y su dinámica y evolución a través del tiempo.

  • Planificación, gestión y análisis de ciclo de vida de sistemas de infraestructura (redes, estructuras y líneas vitales)

Análisis integral del ciclo de vida de un proyecto, incluyendo todas las etapas desde su concepción hasta su cierre. De manera general estas incluyen: i) conceptualización y planificación; ii) construcción y puesta en marcha; iii) operación y seguimiento; iv) entrega/abandono.
