Abstract

Despite the increasing amounts of data generated by disruptive technologies, such as smart sensors, the use of this data in condition-based monitoring of critical infrastructural assets is still at its infancy. One main challenge is the exchange of data between owners of critical infrastructures assets, and their maintenance contractors. Our case analyses reveal three root causes of lack of data sharing: 1) a mismatch between contract specification (i.e., provisions) and contract evaluation (i.e., KPIs); 2) ineffective incentive schemes (i.e., tied to the wrong provisions or lacking salience); 3) a lack of contractual flexibility to accommodate and facilitate data sharing.
