Jacobs has launched Kaleidoscope, a cloud-based platform application to help clients prioritize and optimize capital expenditure budgets. The spatially enabled solution is a predictive analytics application that determines cross-sectional infrastructure vulnerabilities. Kaleidoscope runs on any device, whether an iPad, Mac or personal computer. The solution uses a one-of-a-kind, predictive algorithm to generate vulnerability assessments across many interdependent infrastructure networks, such as roadways, water lines, utilities, energy and other horizontal infrastructure, that overlay across a place, campus or community. Kaleidoscope also identifies vulnerabilities and how they could potentially impact a community's resilience, helping to curtail expensive, unplanned and reactive maintenance, with a goal of preventing disruptions before becoming hazards. Kaleidoscope's output frames what projects should be done, who will be impacted and where they are located. It helps senior planners, administrators, public works directors, emergency managers and other leaders rapidly and accurately identify unknown, potentially catastrophic planning, funding and sustainability threats. Leaders can then prioritize capital expenditures to achieve greater infrastructure resilience in a more proactive and interconnected way, leading to more resilient outcomes and positive social benefits and transforming typical management strategies into smarter, more sophisticated approaches.
