Abstract
With the increasing number of urban infrastructure construction projects under the PPP (Public-Private-Partnership) investment, the traditional operation and maintenance model presents a number of problems, such as low efficiency and high cost of operation & maintenance, fragmentation of stakeholders, difficulty in estimating the value of facility assets and utilizing the isolated multi-source data. In view of this, this research proposes a new model for Intelligent Operation and Maintenance of Urban Infrastructure (IOMUI), which is based on the exploration of the claims from various stakeholders under the PPP model, and combined with emerging ICT technologies. Through the analysis of the current facility industry chain, our research proposes a shared ecosystem, which extends the vertical industrial chain, and ultimately forms the model of IOMUI. The proposed ecological business model provides a reference for the reform and upgrading of the OMUI industry, and also contributes to the sustainable development of the industry.
