  • Abstract:
    This report is required by Section 13006(d) of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) (enacted as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (Pub. L. 117-58, Nov. 15, 2021)), which directed the Secretary of Transportation to produce a report on Advanced Digital Construction Management System (ADCMS) technologies. It discusses advanced technologies, such as Electronic Construction (e-Construction), Three-dimensional (3D) Engineered Models, Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), and Electronic Ticketing (e-Ticketing). The report also includes recommendations for integrating new technological developments into national design guidelines developed by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and provides a roadmap for measuring the impacts of ADCMS. Data and statistics from FHWA’s Every Day Counts (EDC) Program and the Technological Capabilities of Departments of Transportation for Digital Project Management and Delivery report developed by the Transportation Research Board’s (TRB) National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) are used to illustrate the extent of States’ adoption, implementation, and development of ADCMS technologies. A total of 42 responses were received from 51 State departments of transportation (State DOT), with 37 reporting the use of ADCMS technologies for construction, 2 reporting the use of ADCMS technologies for program support, and 2 reporting the use of ADCMS technologies for other programming efforts. (State DOTs include the District Department of Transportation serving Washington, D.C.) The data showed that nearly all the technologies and improvements reviewed are in some stage of development or implementation, or have been adopted for use by State DOTs and transportation agencies. State DOTs and transportation agencies almost universally require additional research and extensive field testing to demonstrate and evaluate the benefits and feasibility of deploying the systems in a live environment. The research and test results are essential to accurately identify the most effective ADCMS technologies that will aid State DOTs and transportation agencies in their construction management. Further research is also necessary to determine the most appropriate locations for deployment of different ADCMS technologies (i.e., to achieve maximum benefit) and to better understand how to match the proper technology to the specific capabilities of staff and to the project development process to assure the greatest safety impact in the most cost-efficient manner. Once ready for adoption, these technologies may be incorporated into educational efforts, including outreach programs needed to increase State DOT awareness of how the technologies work and how they are used to improve the construction management process.
