- Summary:
- Automation in highway construction includes an increasing number of technologies that collect, store, analyze, and process information to make, support, or execute an appropriate action or decision that results in enhanced construction outcomes. The goal of automation in highway construction is to increase speed, efficiency, and/or safety during the construction process. This goal is in conjunction with components, processes, and software that assist in a more efficient construction system. The primary objectives of this project were to (1) address gaps identified for implementing automation in highway construction and (2) develop guidance for State transportation departments to assist them in implementing automation to improve accelerated project delivery. There are two volumes of the final report for each of the two objectives. Part I presents a description of the key automation technology areas and the associated benefits, challenges, and solutions.(1) Part II (this volume) presents an overview of enabling technologies and policies for automation in highway construction as well as implementation strategies. This volume also includes design procedures and practical guidelines to properly generate three-dimensional models for uses in construction and other phases of highway project delivery.
