• Abstract:
  Challenges in highway construction management and field operations include the lack of integrated information that can be obtained in real time, gaps between planned solutions and practical implementations, a lack of established quality assurance (QA) practices, and ineffective project communications. As design and construction workflows based on three-dimensional (3D) models become more common on highway projects, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is promoting these and other innovations through its Every Day Counts initiative and Building Information Modeling (BIM) efforts. This increased use of 3D model–based design and construction workflows as well as the rapid advancement in computer interface design and hardware make augmented reality (AR) a tool for overcoming such challenges.
