A Methodology to Identify Cross-Functional Synergies of CIM Knowledge within a Transportation Agency
Publication: International Conference on Transportation and Development 2022
ABSTRACT
Civil Integrated Management (CIM) is an emerging paradigm that enhances the workflow of projects within transportation agencies pushing towards a digital transformation of some of their operations. Many transportation departments and agencies are already using some aspects of CIM. Several efforts have been undertaken to provide guidelines to implement CIM-related technologies; however, few have developed measurable quantitative methodologies based on the unique strengths of a specific agency or Department of Transportation (DOT). This study presents a method to assess what areas of CIM may be easier for a DOT to implement based on its own unique attributes. The method involves using an online survey in combination with a statistical test. Applying the method, a DOT or other transportation agencies will be able to make a more methodological decision on deployment of certain tools of CIM. Unlike previously presented methods, the methodology presented here is designed to be repeatable and applicable to any transportation agency interested in deploying CIM. Example real-world data and recommendations are provided to illustrate the method.
