The transportation sector is undergoing a rapid transformation driven by digital technologies that are influencing how infrastructure is planned, designed, delivered, and managed. Across the United States, state departments of transportation (DOTs) have reported increasing interest in the potential of digital delivery, which is the exchange and use of digital information in standardized, accessible formats, to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance lifecycle asset management. This shift is motivated by the need to overcome longstanding challenges associated with fragmented workflows, costly change orders, and inefficiencies tied to traditional processes and practices.
NCHRP Synthesis 664: Practices for Transitioning to Digital Delivery Systems and Workflows, produced by TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program, documents state DOT practices for adopting and implementing digital delivery. Practices identified by the synthesis cover issues such as the status and maturity of digital delivery transitions, policy changes supporting implementation, documentation practices, organizational structures and champions, IT infrastructure, training, transition communications, data governance, and assessment.
