Using Mobile Computers to Automate the Change Order Prediction Cost for Highway Construction Projects

Currently, UPRM is working on a mobile computing application for automating the collection process of field inspection data using iPads or Android Tablets. The application contains standard forms of the specifications that appear in the Standard Specification of Road and Bridge Construction book. Because of their high mobility characteristics and due to their small size and light weight, these mobile devices can be used in the construction field to perform various tasks including development and evaluation of a change order and extra work.
