NCHRP 3D design OK DOT.jpg

Traditional design and construction of transportation projects are transitioning to digital delivery, with the exchange and use of digital information in standardized, accessible formats. 26 of the responding state departments of transportation implement digital delivery on new road construction, expansion, or widening. Most rely only on 2D PDF plan sets for construction projects, while at least five state DOTs also use comprehensive delivery of 3D models as the primary medium. TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program summarizes the state of the practices in state DOTs and more closely examines cases in CO, FL, OK, OR, and TN.

NCHRP Synthesis 664: Practices for Transitioning to Digital Delivery Systems and Workflows notes the recent history in OK. Starting in 2022, a squad of cross-disciplinary staff began to deliver 3D models for pilot projects. By the second half of 2023, ODOT was working from a formal digital delivery program including construction workflows and data handoff. Learn more about how they're leveraging peer exchanges to adopt proven practices with organizational structure, people, process and technology, and change management and strategy.


TCRP Research Results Digest 123: Through-Running Regional Rail

TCRP Research Results Digest 124: Slotted Schedules for Corridors with Mixed Freight and Passenger Operations

TCRP Research Results Digest 125: Ferries: Electrification and Alternative Fuels


These digests each summarize one of 12 small research tasks conducted in the development of new content for the TCRP Research Report 262: Transit Capacity and Quality of Service Manual, 4th Edition. The TCQSM provides information, techniques, and resources to support the planning, design, and operation of transit services, facilities, and systems. 

ACRP Synthesis 145: Collecting and Utilizing ADS–B Data at Airports
