... Literature Review 7 2.1 EDC and e-Construction The EDC program began in 2009 as a joint venture between the FHWA and AASHTO, and focuses on deploying new innovations, with the goal of accelerating highway project delivery in an economically responsible manner (Landers, 2015; Federal Highway Administration, 2018c)

... Literature Review 9 projects when they go paperless. Third, eCP can improve the safety of jobsites by reducing the amount of time inspectors are exposed to worksite hazards; the lack of paper documentation can also bolster safety because project stakeholders no longer have to carry physical records between project sites and offices.

... Literature Review 19 2.4 Conclusion There is clear momentum behind e-Construction. With its selection as an innovation for EDC-3 and EDC-4 and with a growing number of transportation agency and construction industry stakeholders working aggressively to integrate sophisticated technologies into their operations and embrace a paperless project environment, it is likely the pace at which e-Construction technologies are implemented will continue to accelerate.
