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.
