ABSTRACT
NCHRP Synthesis 20-05 Topic 54-04: Mobile Devices as a Tool for Digitalized Project
Documentation and Inspection
Consumer-grade mobile devices, including smartphones, tablets, peripheral devices, and Rovers,
are increasingly used as innovative tools in construction project delivery, documentation, and
inspection. Advancements in camera technology combined with increased accuracy in
geolocation, graphical displays, and LiDAR abilities provide a very powerful
engineering/construction technology that is also widely accessible and used by most construction
professionals on jobsites. A sample of mobile device applications that can be utilitized by
construction professionals include: digitalized documents; geolocation of data; augmented reality
with engineering precession; capturing 3D images of as-built conditions through built-in LiDAR
cameras; object recognition through AI; viewing of 3-D models; access to inspection history;
connecting QA results to the model; data storage, object recognition, and feature extraction
methods; and, improved communications.
The objective of this synthesis is to document state DOT practices for using mobile devices to
support digitized project documentation and inspection.
