Title: NCHRP Synthesis 560: Digital Terrain Models: Use Cases, Benefits, and Barriers
Accession Number: 01838656
Record Type: Component
Record URL: Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Analyzing highway design data via 3-D models—digital terrain models, or DTMs—can be combined with surveying technology and automated machine guidance to improve production and efficiency. The authors build on the findings of National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) research to investigate significant use cases of DTMs during the construction phase of a highway project, as well as the benefits of and barriers to implementing DTMs. A survey of members of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Committee on Construction revealed the cases utilized most frequently among state departments of transportation were: grade work, survey verification, automated machine guidance, quantity measurements, and field staking.
