Accession Number: 01875662
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA's) Federal Outdoor Impact Laboratory (FOIL) continued to perform onsite inspector-certified crash tests. To be able to continue work at the FOIL, during the pandemic, two main challenges had to be addressed: social distancing and the ability to communicate with partners. This article discusses the solutions FOIL implemented to accommodate external partners who would normally have visited the facility. Using digital still photography cameras and a readily available collaboration and communication software platform, the FOIL team was able to provide FOIL partners with a live, multiple-perspective view of crash tests.
