Urban utility infrastructure and digital technologies

Summary

Integration of all the trends of software development in the process of digital transformation will provide for establishing a uniform highly reliable urban IT environment. The use of digital technologies will result in the elimination of the negative impact of human factor on the operation of the utility systems. By the electronic model of the water supply and wastewater disposal systems the mathematical model of these systems is meant assigned to the city base map with account of the cadastral territorial divisions and designed for the imitation simulation of their operation modes. The structure of the utilities layer in the specialized geographic information system (GIS) is developed automatically with the formation of the layer objects and modes of their operation. The process of plotting utility networks on the city map has been automated to the uttermost. At that a topologically fixed network graph is developed with the bridging of the relative data bases to each object. It is advisable to incorporate the electronic model of the water supply and wastewater disposal systems into the uniform urban information system with a common base map, common address database with the separation of user access according to the operator profile. The rough estimate of the efficiency of introducing the software can be carried out by the expenditure estimates. Using the expenditure estimates the economic benefit will be calculated to some tolerance, however, it will provide for evaluating the benefits and necessity of purchasing the software.
