Abstract:The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) recently renewed its focus on e-Construction activities by dedicating several staff to assessing construction management solutions, mobile device/application use in the field, and other notable e-Construction practices. VDOT’s first attempt to deploy e-Construction involved custom development of an enterprise solution. However, that effort proved to be much more complex than anticipated. Now, VDOT’s e-Construction strategy is focused on adopting a mobile commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) application. With a new strategy in hand, VDOT invested in a research project to pilot a COTS mobile application solution with functionality that allows field staff to document project site activities, access electronic plans, and collaborate with stakeholders. To gain insight on successful strategies to pilot and deploy mobile technology, VDOT requested an in-person peer exchange with staff from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT). PennDOT hosted the 2-day peer-to-peer exchange on December 4–5, 2018, in Pittsburgh, PA. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) sponsored the event as part of round four of the Every Day Counts (EDC-4) technical assistance program for e-Construction and Partnering (eCP). In addition to representatives from VDOT and PennDOT, staff from FHWA’s Virginia Division and the Resource Center attended. PennDOT shared the history of its e-Construction program and strategies for gaining support to invest in mobile technology.
