Guide for Digital Project Delivery: Integrating Design and Construction

In recent years, there has been an explosion of digital tools and practices to enhance how transportation agencies conduct business and deliver projects more collaboratively with partners. State departments of transportation (DOTs) are replacing paper and image-based workflows with more intelligent digital processes to tap the potential of digital information more fully for collaboration, productivity, and risk and quality management. Digital practices such as three-dimensional (3D)/four-dimensional (4D) modeling, e-Construction/e-Ticketing, and building information modeling (BIM) for infrastructure are improving project delivery by enabling more effective collaboration and seamless data exchange, reducing errors during handoffs. However, integration of these digital practices remains largely ad hoc, particularly in areas like risk evaluation and management for project delivery. Research is needed on the utilization of digital project delivery practices within the transportation sector, the benefits achieved, and how these practices can be adapted to meet state DOT needs. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this research is to develop a guide for implementing digital delivery practices from design through construction of the transportation infrastructure life cycle.
