Résumé
State departments of transportation (DOTs) have effective procurement processes for highway construction but lag in acquiring new business technologies. As they invest in advanced solutions for communications, asset management, and human resources, they aim to leverage artificial intelligence and cloud-based… big data tools. However, traditional procurement methods typically relied on by state DOTs focus on individual purchases rather than long-term goals and often fall short in addressing the growing complexity of these systems and evolving customer needs. This can create challenges in acquiring technological products and services. NCHRP Research Report 1145: Practices for Transportation Agency Procurement and Management of Advanced Technologies, from TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program, presents a guide that includes successful strategies and practices for procuring new and innovative transportation system technologies.
