Applications of 3D Visualization: Peer Exchange Summary Report

摘要

On July 89, 2009, the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Office of Interstate and Border Planning sponsored a 1.5-day peer exchange to promote the sharing of information on the use of 3D visualization techniques at transportation agencies. North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) hosted the peer exchange. Participants included staff from the Baltimore Metropolitan Council, FHWA, California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT), New York State DOT, Volusia County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), the U.S. DOT Volpe National Transportation Systems Center, and Washington State DOT (WSDOT). The purpose of the peer exchange, which focused on select transportation agencies' 3D visualization activities, was to allow participants with noteworthy visualization capabilities, products, and organizational arrangements the opportunity to share their knowledge, experiences, and lessons learned. Challenges faced in creating visualizations and advancing the state of the practice at their respective agencies were also described.
