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.
