The purpose of the model is to provide a consistent means of presenting the evaluation of options for upgrading the control systems of infrastructure, such as railways, power grids, water supply schemes, road networks, etc. The infrastructure typically has a design life of 100 years, whereas the control systems have a design life of 20 years or less, resulting in several upgrades during the life of the infrastructure. Such upgrades are generally justified on the basis of a Business Case that evaluates a number of options, including the “do nothing” option, and that meets the requirements on format and level of detail of the funding body. This paper describes a framework, or meta‐model, for the development of executable evaluation models suitable for meeting such requirements.
