NISMOD: National Infrastructure Systems MODel

NISMOD is the world’s first national infrastructure system-of-systems modelling platform

    The NISMOD suite of models works in three main domains:

    • long-term strategic infrastructure planning
    • infrastructure for sustainable development
    • risk and resilience assessment

    The platform comprises:

    • simulation models of infrastructure systems
    • integration frameworks and libraries to enable analysis
    • databases and systems to manage datasets, model configuration, inputs and outputs

    NISMOD for long-term infrastructure planning in the UK

    How can the UK assess its infrastructure needs and plan to meet crucial sustainability and emissions targets? How will long-term pressures and uncertainties affect infrastructure systems?

    Infrastructure for sustainable development

    How can Low and Middle Income Countries systematically identify infrastructure needs and construct an evidence-based plan to meet them?

    Risk and resilience of infrastructure systems

    How can we identify the risks to infrastructure systems and quantify their resilience to shocks?
