Control apparatus, control method, and infrastructure control system

A control apparatus for an infrastructure control system to control an infrastructure, the control apparatus comprising

• at least one processing circuitry configured to:
• collect sensing data on the infrastructure;
• receive a control instruction for the sensing data from a server;
• control the infrastructure based on the received control instruction and the sensing data;
• and
• detect a failure in a communication with the server,
• wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:
• control, upon detecting the failure, the infrastructure based on the sensing data on the infrastructure;
• determine, upon detecting a recovery from the failure, a shift timing to return to the control based on the control instruction and the sensing data on the infrastructure;
• and
• continue the control based on the sensing data on the infrastructure until the shift timing.
