Traditional simulation and analysis techniques cannot model the complex systems inherent in fields such as infrastructure asset management, or suffer from a lack of data on which to build a prediction. Agent-based modelling, through an integration with data science, presents an attractive simulation method to capture these underlying complexities and provide a solution. The aim of this work is to investigate this integration as a refined process for answering practical business questions. A specific case study is addressed to assess the return on investment of installing condition monitoring sensors on lift assets in a London Underground station. An agent-based model is developed for this purpose, supported by analysis from historical data. The simulation results demonstrate how returns can be achieved and highlight features induced as a result of stochasticity in the model. Suggestions of future research paths are additionally outlined.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/systems5010004","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,25]],"date-time":"2017-01-25T09:50:44Z","timestamp":1485337844000},"page":"4","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Case Study for the Return on Investment of Internet of Things Using Agent-Based Modelling and Data Science"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Charles","family":"Houston","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Aeronautics, Imperial College London, South Kensington Campus, London SW7 2AZ, UK"}]},{"given":"Stephen","family":"Gooberman-Hill","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Amey Strategic Consulting and Technology, 10 Furnival Street, London EC4A 1AB, UK"}]},{"given":"Richard","family":"Mathie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Amey Strategic Consulting and Technology, 10 Furnival Street, London EC4A 1AB, UK"}]},{"given":"Andrew","family":"Kennedy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Amey Strategic Consulting and Technology, 10 Furnival Street, London EC4A 1AB, UK"}]},{"given":"Yunxi","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Amey Strategic Consulting and Technology, 10 Furnival Street, London EC4A 1AB, UK"}]},{"given":"Pedro","family":"Baiz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Amey Strategic Consulting and Technology, 10 Furnival Street, London EC4A 1AB, UK"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"ISO (2014).
