The most impressive (efficient) practices for project design and construction delivery are borrowed from either case studies or literature to visualize by means of a diagram of the most efficient model for digital data delivery through all of the transportation construction project life-cycle stages (integrated process model or IPM)

As advanced processes for the seamless sharing of information throughout DOT project delivery are identified, it is also necessary to define project delivery stages, also referred to as the project life cycle. The stages or phases are linear in process.

• IPM, which is an idealized process map of the most efficient work processes, interoperable software applications, hardware, and agency resources for the delivery of transportation construction processes. Its basis is the literature review and the amalgamation of the advanced processes discovered in the various functional areas.
