Full title and description

Framework for integration and operation of smart community infrastructures — Part 1: Recommendations for considering opportunities and challenges from interactions in smart community infrastructures from relevant aspects through the life cycle. This document defines a high-level framework (processes and methodologies) to identify and manage interactions among infrastructures, stakeholders and the external environment to support consistent, system-level planning and operation of smart community infrastructures.

Abstract

This standard describes a framework to identify and manage interactions between multiple smart community infrastructures, between infrastructures and stakeholders, and between infrastructures and the external environment. It is intended for both greenfield developments (new integrated infrastructure planning) and brownfield/built environments (managing increasing interdependencies as a system of systems). The document is presented as a management case (recommended processes to meet specific objectives) rather than as a prescriptive management system.

Scope

ISO 37155-1:2020 provides recommendations for considering opportunities and challenges arising from interactions in smart community infrastructures across the whole life cycle. The scope covers identification and management of interactions (infrastructure-to-infrastructure, infrastructure-to-stakeholder, infrastructure-to-environment), guidance for planners and investors for greenfield projects, and support for efficient management of existing urban areas where interdependencies must be treated as a system of systems. The standard explicitly frames its contents as a management case (recommended processes) and avoids overlap with domain-specific standards that address individual infrastructure elements.

Key topics and requirements

• Framework and process model for identifying and recording interactions among smart community infrastructures (system-of-systems view).
• Guidance on lifecycle perspectives — planning, design, operation and maintenance — to ensure interaction risks and opportunities are addressed.
• Consideration of stakeholders, governance and roles when integrating multiple infrastructures.
• Use-case orientation: greenfield (integrated design) and brownfield (retrofitting/operation) approaches.
• Recommendation to treat the document as a management case (procedural guidance) rather than a prescriptive management system.
• Emphasis on consistency, interoperability and resilience of community infrastructures to respond to technological and environmental change.

Typical use and users

Primary users include urban planners, infrastructure investors, municipal authorities, utilities and operators, systems integrators, consultancy firms, and multidisciplinary project teams responsible for planning, developing, operating or regulating smart community infrastructures. The standard is useful for early-stage strategic planning (investor and master-planning decisions), cross-infrastructure coordination, and for organizations seeking to formalize processes that manage interdependencies across the infrastructure lifecycle.

Related standards

ISO 37155-1 is part of the ISO 37155 series. Notable related items include ISO 37155-2:2021 (Part 2 — holistic approach and strategy for development, operation and maintenance of smart community infrastructures) and subsequent guidance documents in the 37190/37188 family that provide practical implementation and supervisory guidance for the series. These documents are developed under ISO/TC 268/SC 1 and together form a package addressing strategy, interactions and practical implementation of smart community infrastructure management.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 37155-1:2020 is Part 1 of a framework series for integration and operation of smart community infrastructures, providing recommendations to identify and manage interactions among infrastructures, stakeholders and the environment across the lifecycle.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers a high-level framework (processes and methodologies) for identifying interaction opportunities and challenges, guidance for greenfield and brownfield use-cases, stakeholder roles and lifecycle considerations; it is presented as a management case rather than a prescriptive management system.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Urban planners, municipal authorities, infrastructure owners/operators, investors, systems integrators, consultants and regulators involved in planning, developing, operating or supervising smart community infrastructures.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 37155-1:2020 was published in January 2020 and is listed as a published/confirmed international standard; standards in ISO are subject to periodic review (typically every five years). Users should check the ISO catalogue or national standards bodies for any later amendments or confirmations.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is Part 1 of the ISO 37155 series. Part 2 (ISO 37155-2:2021) and additional implementation/supervisory guidance items (for example ISO 37190 and work items such as ISO/AWI 37188) expand on strategy and practical implementation for smart community infrastructures.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Smart community infrastructures, interactions, lifecycle, system-of-systems, interoperability, resilience, governance, planning, ISO 37155.
