Electronic Construction Collaboration System-Final Phase: Tech Transfer Summary.

摘要

This research represents the fourth phase of an ongoing project. In the first two phases, various WPMS solutions for managing complex bridge projects were identified and tested. AEC-Sync was selected and provided for the Iowa DOT in a software service agreement. The research team helped implement the WPMS, and pre- and post-project survey results from the Broadway Viaduct project team members indicated satisfaction with the performance of AEC-Sync.nBecause of these initial positive results, the research team recommended to the Iowa DOT that a similar solution could also benefit smaller highway projects (i.e., under $10 million). In the third project phase, several WPMS solutions were evaluated for smaller projects, specifically to facilitate the shop/working drawing approval process. The research team and the Iowa DOT selected Microsoft SharePoint, a web-based document management system. In addition, the research team continued implementing AEC-Sync and collected and analyzed pre-project surveys for the Iowa Falls Arch Bridge project.
