Abstract:As mobile technology becomes widely available and affordable, transportation agencies can use this technology to
streamline operations involved within project inspection. This research, conducted in two phases, identified
opportunities for process improvement using mobile technologies and measured the outcomes from incorporating
mobile tools as a part of project inspection work. The research also identified additional factors to characterize the
use of mobile tools for project inspection.
The research approach focused on measuring three main projected outcomes, which include productivity, data
quality, and data availability. Additional characteristics were observed to evaluate other aspects of using mobile
tools for project inspection, in particular as it relates to recommendations toward how an agency may approach
deployment of mobile technology. A pilot program was established where a mobile technology solution was used
via field trials to measure these outcomes.
