Abstract

We seek to understand why data generated by disruptive technologies such as smart sensors are not being leveraged for enhanced maintenance. Our research is framed as a contracting problem, in the context of critical infrastructures (e.g., roads, bridges, etc.), for which maintenance is outsourced to specialist contractors. Preliminary analyses produced three main findings: 1) rigid contracts inhibit the adoption of disruptive technologies and making adjustments to specifications regarding data-sharing; 2) lack of alignment between contractual provisions and the overall objectives of the contracting party; and 3) ineffective incentive schemes which reward the wrong behaviours or are very disproportional in size.
