... The synthesis scope aimed at identifying "advanced processes" for the seamless sharing of information throughout all phases of the project delivery process, including procedural, institutional, human, and technical constraints and mechanisms. After a national survey of broad DOT data exchange practices was performed, several DOTs were selected for close inspection case studies.
