What is it about?
Object oriented (OO) technique from computer science field was adopting in highway construction document to improve document flow management and visualization. We cooperated with Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT) to improve how to manage construction specification. 3D models were created and combined into a platform as a 3D highway specification.
