Leveraging Augmented Reality for Highway Construction

Challenges in highway construction management and field operations include the lack of real-time and integrated information, gaps between planned solutions and practical implementations, quality assurance, and effective project communications. Three-dimensional (3D) model-based design and construction workflows are becoming more common on highway projects, and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is promoting these and other innovations through its Every Day Counts program and Building Information Modeling efforts. This increased use of 3D model-based workflows and rapid advancement in computer interface design and hardware make augmented reality a tool for overcoming these challenges
