ITRC Aim and Ambition
Aim: To develop and demonstrate a new generation of simulation models and tools to inform the analysis, planning and design of national infrastructure
Challenges:• Analysing the long term state of NI systems• Uncertainties e.g. in demand, economic
conditions, costs, performance• The complexity of multiple governance
arrangements and projects• The capacity of UK industry to compete in
globalised markets for infrastructure services

Visualisation Challenges
• Spatial and a-spatial• High dimensionality data• Multiple scales of modelling• Infrastructure complexity – Volume– Interdependencies – Failure– Uncertainties
• Infrastructure performance
