Abstract:

The infrastructure planning process in United States has long been “criticized for resulting in frequent delays in the development of important projects designed to improve the safety and operating conditions of a region’s transportation system”; the time to complete the planning process for large-scale infrastructure projects nearly tripled since the 1970s. Based on a number of studies conducted to identify the constraints for accelerating the infrastructure planning process, two primary causes of process inefficiencies were identified: (1) infrastructure planners have limited ability to find the right information, at the right time to support mission-critical analyses; and (2) there is late identification of stakeholder concerns and support levels. This talk presents two solutions towards addressing these problems: (1) developing context-aware information retrieval methods to support the search and retrieval of relevant textual information in the infrastructure planning domain; and (2) developing stakeholder opinion mining methods to identify potential concerns and stakeholder support levels early in the project planning process.
