Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems lack a universal method for assessing and balancing service level agreements (SLAs) for facility infrastructure, leading to unreliable information and inefficient management of infrastructure reliability, particularly in predicting failures and coordinating maintenance across different services and localities.

Innovation Solution

A system and method utilizing a composite machine-learning (ML) model that evaluates facilities infrastructure reliability by training on historical availability, performance, and error rates data, enabling predictive analysis for quality assessment and proactive maintenance planning, including the integration of predictive analysis modules and model orchestrators to coordinate construction and service operations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional on-site survey methods are used for CBYD programs, then infrastructure location information can be obtained, but the information is unreliable and outdated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinfrastructure location information accuracyVSAvoidinfrastructure information reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by continuously collecting and updating infrastructure location data from multiple sources (GIS systems, utility companies, construction permits, aerial imagery) before CBYD requests are made. This proactive data gathering and validation process ensures that when location information is needed, accurate and current data is already available, eliminating the need for unreliable traditional on-site surveys.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Loss of information

If manual on-site surveying is performed for each CBYD request, then infrastructure information can be obtained, but the process is time-consuming and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinfrastructure information availabilityVSAvoidsurvey time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system creates and maintains digital copies of infrastructure location information from multiple authoritative sources (GIS databases, utility company records, construction permit data, aerial imagery). These digital copies are continuously updated and validated, allowing instant retrieval of accurate infrastructure location data without requiring physical on-site surveys for each CBYD request, thus eliminating time losses while ensuring information availability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Measurement precision

If comprehensive infrastructure data collection from multiple sources is implemented, then information accuracy improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinfrastructure location accuracyVSAvoiddata collection system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the complex data collection process into distinct modular components: GIS system integration module, utility company data interface, construction permit processing module, aerial imagery analysis module, and data validation module. Each module independently collects and processes data from its specific source, then passes validated information to the central infrastructure database. This segmentation manages system complexity by creating manageable, independent data collection channels while maintaining comprehensive coverage and high accuracy through multiple sources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
