• Abstract:
  The use of visualization technologies and techniques by State Departments of Transportation (DOTs), especially for public involvement purposes, is well-documented. A 2006 Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) scan of transportation agencies, however, showed that visualization use during the right-of-way (ROW) acquisition process of transportation project delivery is not as common, despite the potential benefits. This report identifies some of the reasons, while exploring how select state DOTs have applied, or are applying, visualization to facilitate ROW acquisition. The study synthesizes and presents the findings from a literature review, as well as a series of phone discussions with stakeholders who expressed interest in using visualization technologies to enhance the ROW acquisition process. It is expected that transportation officials will use this information to improve and facilitate their own transportation ROW acquisition processes and outcomes.
