• Abstract:
  A critical process for the timely development and delivery of highway construction projects is the early ; identification and depiction of utility interests that may interfere with proposed highway facilities. The ; effective management of such utility interests or conflicts involves utility relocation (or design changes), ; inspection, and documentation. The large number of stakeholders and the magnitude of the process results in ; an enormous amount of data. Despite substantial data exchange between stakeholders, there are currently no ; standards for the exchange of utility data/information in the project development process. The research will ; address this issue by analyzing specific information flows and data needs to determine data models and by ; developing a prototype utility conflict data management system. More specifically, the research will perform ; a comprehensive analysis of utility conflict data/information flows between utility accommodation ; stakeholders in the TxDOT project development process, develop data models to accommodate work and ; data flows between such stakeholders, develop a prototype system for the management of utility conflict ; data, and develop a tool for the visualization and analysis of utility conflicts within the prototype. The report ; includes a review of utility relocation and coordination practices, describes the development of data models, ; and illustrates the development of the prototype conflict management system.
