CTDOT’s Digital Project Solutions provide requirements, processes, and workforce development to enable a cohesive working environment. The department is working to establish a Building Information Modeling (BIM) approach to projects. This collaborative digital work method structures and manages transportation asset data throughout the project lifecycle. Managing data involves creating data (i.e., supplying data using data models); preserving data (i.e., storing, archiving, securing, and retrieving data); and, provisioning, exchanging, or sharing data for use during a variety of business operations. The integration of data sources from multiple business siloes creates a digital twin and increases data accessibility for making better decisions.
