Английская Википедия:Infrastructure Transitions Research Consortium
The UK Infrastructure Transitions Research Consortium (ITRC)[1] was established in January 2011.[2] The ITRC provides data and modelling to help governments, policymakers and other stakeholders in infrastructure make more sustainable and resilient infrastructure decisions. It is a collaboration between seven universities and more than 55 partners from infrastructure policy and practice.[3]
During its first research programme, running from 2011 to 2016,[4] ITRC developed the world's first national infrastructure system-of-systems model, known as NISMOD (National Infrastructure Systems Model)[5] which has been used to analyse long-term investment strategies for energy, transport, digital communications, water, waste water and solid waste. This work is described in the book The Future of National Infrastructure,[6] an introduction to the NISMOD models and tools describing their application to inform infrastructure planning in Britain.
The second phase of this programme (2016–2021) is called ITRC-MISTRAL where MISTRAL stands for Multi-Scale Infrastructure Systems Analytics.[7] MISTRAL allowed ITRC to develop the national-scale modelling in ITRC to simulate infrastructure at city, regional and global scales.
Based in the University of Oxford's Environmental Change Institute,[8] ITRC is led by Director Jim Hall who is also Professor of Environmental Risks at the University of Oxford.[9]
Funding: The ITRC is funded by two programme grants from the UK Engineering and Physical Science and Research Council (EPSRC). The 2011–2016 ITRC programme grant was £4.7m[10] and the 2016–2021 grant, for ITRC-MISTRAL, is £5.4m.[7]
Consortium: The seven universities making up the ITRC consortium are: University of Southampton,[11] University of Oxford, Newcastle University, Cardiff University, University of Cambridge, University of Leeds and University of Sussex.
Partners: ITRC's partners are from across the infrastructure sector.[12] They include infrastructure investors such as the World Bank, consultancies including Ordnance Survey and KPMG, providers such as Siemens, High Speed 2 (HS2), Network Rail and National Grid, policy-makers (i.e. Environment Agency) and regulatory bodies (OFCOM).
