WisDOT has successfully leveraged this structure to support implementation of innovations throughout the state.  Examples of innovations that have come through the DTSD Innovation Program include:

• Statewide use of iPads for construction inspection and administration; statewide use of iPads for electronic bridge inspections
• Implementation of GPS technologies on projects to improve data collection, inspection and documentation;
• Pilot testing and implementation of eSignatures and software for electronic document review and collaboration
• Pilot testing and implementation of UAS for bridge inspections
• Pilot testing and implementation of Infraworks 360 visualization tool
• Use of GIS applications to gather in-field culvert inspection data
• Use of Go-Pro cameras for work zone drive thru and Over-Sized/Over-Weight movement
• Pilot testing of sinusoidal rumble strips; improved use of 3D information for sub-surface utility reference and clash detection
• Mobile applications for improved photo management and geo-tagging and for quick station/offset reference during construction inspection
