Powering the Future of Infrastructure Research
Connecting technology, data, and people to build a sustainable tomorrow.
Who We Are
DAFNI is a computing platform which aims to support advanced research into national infrastructure, including transport, water, and energy and city scale modelling. It represents an £8 million investment from the UK Collaboratorium for Research on Infrastructure and Cities (UKCRIC) to provide world leading infrastructure systems research capabilities and enhance the quality of outputs.
DAFNI aims to improve the efficiency, reliability and sustainability of infrastructure through better sharing and use of data, exploitation of simulation and optimization techniques, and engagement with stakeholders through visualisation. DAFNI allows researchers to scale and integrate their computational models to explore the social and environmental impacts of changes in infrastructure with much greater coverage and detail, and to deposit, share and use data collected in research projects and generated in models.
