• Abstract:
  Since 2012, MDOT has been modernizing its highway design processes by using 3-D modeling in road construction. In this study, researchers developed plans for leveraging the benefits of 3-D and 4-D modeling in bridge design projects. This technology will allow designers to visualize bridge designs at all stages, from planning through construction. After reviewing national best practices and gathering input from Michigan bridge stakeholders, researchers developed a roadmap that will guide MDOT in selecting, developing and implementing 3-D and 4-D software to model bridges in the state.
