Applications of Graph Neural Networks in Civil Infrastructures: A Review on Transportation, Power, Water, and Structural Systems
Published in Under review at Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence, 2025
This under-review survey synthesizes recent graph neural network research across foundational infrastructure domains, including transportation, power, water, and structural systems. The review maps application areas, architectures, methodological trends, and deployment challenges, with a focus on how GNNs improve situational awareness, predictive modeling, optimization, and resilient infrastructure operations. It also reflects a broader current research interest in cross-domain infrastructure AI rather than a single application silo.
