System and methods for dynamic geospatially-referenced cyber-physical infrastructure inventory and asset management

摘要

A system and method for dynamic geospatially-referenced cyber-physical infrastructure inventory and asset management in which a wireless computing device is attached to the physical assets in an inventory, wherein each wireless computing device tracks at least one characteristic of the physical asset to which it is attached, such as the location of the physical asset, and periodically transmits an encrypted message to a second computer, which verifies the identification of the wireless computing device and that the contents of the message have not been changed, and updates the record of the physical asset in a database.
