FHWA invites participants to explore tools available to project managers and teams when confronted with difficult choices in the design, construction, and planning phases of a project. Communication and visualization tools offer an opportunity for the public and others, who are not immersed in the technical or engineering professions to plainly “see” and understand the risk of a specific action over another, or the consequences of no action. The lack of complete understanding of consequences or fully visualizing an outcome can lead to unfulfilled expectations. Today’s new visualization tools can better inform project teams, decision-makers, and the public; leading to more informed decisions.
Join speakers from the Office of Federal Lands Highway as they demonstrate several tools available to help communicate with non-engineers, such as handheld LiDAR scanners, 360-degree cameras, techniques for public involvement/engagement in a virtual world, and 3D printing.
The Center for Local Aid Support will provide a certificate of participation for this event. Simply select “yes” when prompted during registration.
For questions, contact Karyn Vandervoort, FHWA National Program Manager for Innovation and Research or email the Center for Local Aid Support.
