Project overview
DAFNI (Data & Analytics Facility for National Infrastructure) is a major UK facility which aims to advance infrastructure research. Based at Science and Technology Facility Council (STFC Harwell), DAFNI hosts national infrastructure datasets and provide a complex system science driven platform for modelling, simulation and visualisation. These capabilities are underpinned by the high throughput data interconnectivity and integrated high performance computing facilities required for multi-scale infrastructure system modelling, linked with a unique national infrastructure database. DAFNI was implemented and tested over the four-year period from 2017 to 2021, enabling significant new advances in infrastructure research and facilitating access to tools and methods capable of addressing real-world challenges at a range of scales.
DAFNI provides world-leading capability to support UK research, business and government in infrastructure systems analysis, modelling, simulation and visualisation.
The ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ was one of partner institutions overseeing the delivery and management of the programme, with the University's input being provided by representatives from TRG.
As part of the DAFNI programme a virtual reality facility has been installed on the Boldrewood Campus which will facilitate a range of research into human-transport interactions.
