Synthesis of Information Related to Highway Practices. Topic 54-04. Mobile Devices as a Tool for Digitalized Project Documentation and Inspection

Mobile devices, including smartphones and tablets, are increasingly used as innovative tools in construction project delivery, documentation, and inspection. Advancements in camera technology combined with increased accuracy in geolocation, graphical displays, and LiDAR abilities provide a very powerful engineering/construction technology that is also widely accessible and used by construction professionals on jobsites. A sample of mobile device applications that can be utilized by construction professionals include digitalized documents; geolocation of data; augmented reality with engineering precession; capturing 3D images of as-built conditions through built-in LiDAR cameras; access to inspection history; and, improved communications. The objective of this synthesis is to document state DOT current practices for using mobile devices to support digitized project documentation and inspection.
